Aquacera Terra2 Bristol White Stoneware Gravity Filter System with 2 Filters

Aquacera Terra2™ Bristol White gravity filter housing is made from our 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. Comes with 2 CeraMetix Filters or 2 CeraPlus Filters Please choose the filters above. The Terra2™ holds 2 AquaCera® gravity filter elements in the upper reservoir, and the lower reservoir holds 1 gallon of filtered water ready for use.  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 an off-white glaze, the Terra2™ is designed for daily use at home or work, or just about anywhere. The Terra2™ is manufactured in the USA. Fully assembled the Terra2™ measures 18” high with the lid in place.   The diameter is 8”. Terra2™ Features: 100% Stoneware, hand made in the USA Holds 2 AquaCera® Slimline filter elements, up to 7" in length Includes stainless steel spigot Lower reservoir holds 1 gallon of filtered water Total volume of unit is 2 gallons (upper and lower reservoir combined) Imperial filters will not fit in this system, only Slimline  With CeraMetix Filters CeraMetix GF filter elements utilize our class-leading ceramic microporous outer shell combined with our AquaMetix® granular core technology.AquaMetix® is made from the highest quality NSF component certified (ANSI 61) coconut shell-based activated carbon and other superior adsorbent materials including B2 (ANSI 61).The 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.Contaminant RemovalsFilters over 200 contaminants. Pathogenic bacteria—>99.9999% (ALcontrol Laboratories) Cholera, Typhoid, Salmonella, E. Coli, Fecal Coliform Cysts—100% (ALcontrol Laboratories) Cryptosporidium Parvum, Giardia Lamblia Sediment—100% absolute to 0.5 microns (IBR Laboratories) Chloramines—>99% Chlorine—>99% Lead—>99% Fluoride— >85% VOC—Volatile Organic Compounds—>98% Metals—Aluminum, Iron, Mercury, Nickel & Zinc—>98% MTBE—>97% Arsenic—>95& Glyphosate—>99.9% Pharmaceutical Compounds—Acetaminophen, Progesterone, Ibuprofen, Naproxen Sodium—>95% Herbicides—>99% Nitrates—>92% 99% Fluorinated Organic Acids (PFOA & PFOS) Filtering Capacity CeraMetix Test ResultsYearly or 700 gallons per filter. With CeraPlus Filters The CeraPlus™ is our silver-impregnated ceramic DE (diatomaceous earth) shell with granular activated, coconut shell based carbon in the core of the ceramic, the addition of which allows for treatment of chlorine, taste and odor. CeraPlus™ elements are designed for use for use in gravity filter systems.  Made in USA Cleanable for prolonged life Silver impregnated to prevent bacteria grow through 0.5 Micron absolute 100% Removal of cysts 99.9999% Pathogenic bacteria >99.9% Efficiency at 0.2 micron Meets or Exceeds NSF/ANSI Standards 42 & 53 for the following: Chlorine reduction -  >95% Organics reduction -  >95% Filters should be replaced annually Filtering Capacityyearly or 700 gallons per filter. *filters will fit most competitor type gravity feed systemsTested to meet or exceed ANSI/NSF Standards 42 & 53 for specified claimsreductionManufactured in the USA
