Aquacera Terra2 Stoneware Gravity Water Filter with 2 Filters

The Aquacera Terra2 Stoneware gravity filter housing is made from our own recipe of processed clay.  Each piece is hand-finished, and the glaze is sprayed by hand.  Our glaze is lead-free and made on-site. The Terra2™ holds 2 AquaCera® gravity filter elements in the 1-gallon upper reservoir, and the lower reservoir holds 1 gallon of filtered water ready for use. Please note that you cannot fill the top reservoir when the bottom one is full, as it will leak from the center. The Terra2™ continues our philosophy of bringing gravity filters back to their pottery origins with this unique and highly attractive alternative to stainless steel units. Finished in a Bristol white (off-white) or cobalt blue glaze, the Terra2 is designed for daily use at home, work, or almost anywhere.  The Aquacera Terra2 Stoneware Gravity Water Filter is an excellent system for emergency preparedness as it uses no electricity. You pour water into the top reservoir, let it filter to the bottom reservoir, and you can use fresh water from your tap, lakes, ponds, streams, rivers, or rainwater. Fully assembled, the Terra2™ measures 18” high with the lid in place.   The diameter is 8”. If you would like fluoride reduction and a wider range of contaminants, then you need to choose the CeraMetix filters or NanoMetix. You can choose from the AMB CeraMetix Carbon Block filter or the CeraMetix GF granular carbon. Terra2™ Features: 100% Stoneware, handmade in the USA Holds 2 AquaCera® Slimline filter elements, up to 7" in length Comes with 2 7" Filters Includes stainless steel spigot Lower reservoir holds 1 gallon of filtered water ready to use you can use fresh water from your tap, lakes, ponds, streams, rivers, or rainwater. The unit weight is 14 lbs empty. Imperial filters will not fit in this system, only Slimline Works with well or city water   CeraMetix Gravity Filter specs CeraMetix® GF is the most advanced ceramic filter available. CeraMetix® is our CeraSyl™ DE (diatomaceous earth) ceramic shell with our granular AquaMetix® core inside to offer the reduction of aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, chloramines, chlorine, fluoride, lead, mercury, nickel, radionuclides, tri-halomethane, zinc and many more contaminants in a single, revolutionary ceramic filter elementThe ceramic shell and our AquaMetix granular combine mechanical filtration and physical absorption processes to reduce a wide variety of drinking water contaminants of both aesthetic and health concerns.The pore structure of the ceramic enables sufficient contact time for AquaMetix® to be ideally suited to improving taste and odor as well as reducing chlorine, chloramine, volatile organic compounds, MTBE, lead, mercury, asbestos, arsenic, and fluoride. The cleanable ceramic shell is designed to remove suspended solids, pathogenic bacteria, and cysts. The CeraMetix® elements have been tested in accordance with NSF protocols for cyst, turbidity, particulates, lead, chloramines and chlorine reduction.   CeraMetix® AMB Gravity filter is the most advanced ceramic filter available. CeraMetix® is our CeraSyl™ DE (diatomaceous earth) ceramic shell with our AquaMetix® QuickDrip™ carbon block core inside to offer the reduction of aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, chloramines, chlorine, fluoride, lead, mercury, nickel, radionuclides, tri-halomethane, and zinc in a single, revolutionary ceramic filter element. The AMB version offers more consistent filtration reductions over the life of the filter when compared to the GF version due to the water having to pass through the carbon block wall inside the ceramic filter element.  The block ensures all the water has sufficient contact time, resulting in slightly higher reductions and more consistency than the GF versions.  The AMB version has a slower flow rate than the GF version due to the block core.  Flow will taper off as the water in the upper reservoir drops, to maintain flow we recommend topping up the upper reservoir periodically.  The AMB version includes a white tube in the carton that can be inserted into the opening in the threaded end of the filter to increase flow rate. Contaminant RemovalsFilters over 200 contaminants. Made in the USA Silver impregnated to protect the integrity of the ceramic against biofouling to ensure long life.

Coli, Giardia, Cryptosporidium, etc) Filtering Capacity Yearly or 700 gallons per filter. CeraMetix Test Results   NanoMetix Specs Aquacera NanoMetix™ filter elements utilize our new electrokinetic pleated filtration media combined with our AquaMetix® carbon block core.  The outer nano shell is able to capture and neutralize small particulates within the structure of the media enabling it to meet P231 Protocol.  The densely embedded carbon into the pleated media allows for unprecedented PFAS removal. The AquaMetix® carbon core then removes chloramines, lead, and chlorine.  Also reducing fluoride, volatile organic compounds, MTBE, mercury, asbestos, and pharmaceutical compounds.  The filter elements have been tested in accordance with ANSI/NSF protocols for cyst, turbidity, particulates, lead, heavy metals, pharmaceutical compounds, chloramines and chlorine reduction (Class I). Filters over 200 contaminants.
