The field cleanable 0.2 micron silver-impregnated ceramic filter of the Ceradyn Microfilter has been put through some of the harshest conditions on the planet and has been tested to perform up to 150,000 liters, depending on water quality. It meets the EPA standard for removal of Bacteria (99.9999% Klebsiella Terrigena), and Protozoan Cysts (99.9% Giardia and Cryptosporidium).
The Katadyn TRK Drip Ceradyn free-standing gravity filter features a 10 liter water container for large quantities of water. It's ideal for the water supply for camps, cabins and homes without running water. This Ceradyn version comes with three ceramic filter elements.
Ceramic filters have a micro porous structure with impregnated silver which delays the growth of bacteria. The pore-size of Katadyn ceramic filters is 0.2 micron (0.0002 mm). Bacteria range in size from 0.2 to 5 micron and, like protozoa (1 to 15 micron), are efficiently filtered out. Ceramic filters can be mechanically regenerated and the filter capacity is measurable.
