    Introducing the superior next generation for our SCP Fluoride Plus™ filter. Effectively remove fluoride and a wide array of other contaminants, this filter ensures your drinking water is safe and free from harmful substances.

    The Ultra Fluoride Filter, stands 146mm high (5 3/4 inch) while as the current ultra fluoride candle marketed in Australia, which is 178mm tall and too large for most gravity systems, this filter is designed to fit perfectly.  The Ultra Fluoride filter is specially manufactured by Doulton for Southern Cross Pottery distribution. 

    The advantages of the Ultra Fluoride Filter:

    Rigorously Tested: Proven to remove up to 98.9% of fluoride, absorbing a total of 1600 ppm. For water with 1 ppm of fluoride, the filter effectively purifies 1600 litres before replacement. With fluoride levels below 1 ppm, it can purify even more. Australia's municipal fluoride average ranges from 0.6 to 1.1 ppm.

    Broad Spectrum Contaminant Removal: Eliminates up to 99.99% of common contaminants, including fluoride, bacteria, chlorine, parasites, microplastics, trace organics, enhanced organics, pharmaceuticals, arsenic, and heavy metals like lead.

    Natural Raw Materials: Made from 100% naturally occurring raw materials, these vegan-friendly filters contain no activated alumina or bone ash.

    Taste Preservation: Maintains essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium, enhancing water taste and slightly increasing alkalinity for a healthier pH balance.

    Replacement Intervals: For optimal performance, replace the ultra fluoride filter every 1600 litres or every 6 to 9 months, whichever comes first. To ensure continuous contaminant removal, it is highly recommended to replace the filter every 6 months. 

    Other Key Points:

    • Ideal for use with municipal town water, tank water, and bore water.
    • Flow rate under gravity is approximately 1.2 litres per hour.
    • Absolute filtration down to 0.9 microns.
    • Manufactured by Fairey Industrial Ceramic Laboratory (Doulton) in England.
    • No need to sterilise or boil water, as the Doulton® proprietary system inhibits microbiological growth.
    • The small amount of plastic used in the candle frame is BPA-free.
    • Each ultra fluoride candle has a unique 10-digit code on the filter frame, guaranteeing authenticity.

    soap or detergents.

    How do I know when my ceramic filter element needs cleaning or replacing?
    Clean when water flow decreases, or the filter becomes discoloured. We recommend cleaning
    every 3 months and replacing every 6-9 months.

    Why is my ceramic filter element discoloured?
    Indicates effective sediment filtration. We recommend cleaning filters regularly to prevent

    Initial chemical reaction with carbon; safe to drink and dissipates in a few days.

    Why are there carbon flecks in the bottom of the water purifier?
    Normal in new filters, harmless carbon bits.

    Why is the water not flowing quickly?
    Pre-soak new filters in a large glass of water to eliminate air pockets and improve flow rate. It is advisable to pre-soak the filter so that you acquire a good flow of water from the very beginning, this process removes any air in the filter. Place the filter upside down in a pot of water overnight with the white ceramic submerged and the thread exposed to the air, in the morning remove from water and shake up and down vigorously for about 30 seconds holding on to the plastic frame as you do this. To install: place the candle mount stem through the hole in the upper chamber of the filter housing, secure from underneath with the washer and wing nut supplied - DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN the wing nut as that might reduce the flow. Initially you should get a flow of about 700 ml per hour which will increase over time. The ultra fluoride filters down to 0.2 of a micron (far more than any other competing gravity filters) and might initially be slower than previous filters you have used BUT it is removing far more impurities.
