98mm*90mm 1Pc Water Filters Ceramic Water Filter Ceramic Filter
Approx $27.69 USD
This 98mm (diameter) x 90mm (height) ceramic water filter candle is designed for use in gravity water filtration systems, where water passes through the filter via natural downward pressure. It features a microporous ceramic shell that captures sediment, bacteria, protozoa, cysts, and other waterborne contaminants without the need for electricity or chemical additives.
The ceramic structure is built with a fine filtration pore size ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 microns, ensuring that it removes more than 99.9% of harmful organisms such as E. coli, Giardia lamblia, and Cryptosporidium. Inside the ceramic casing, the filter is optionally filled with activated carbon or other mineral-based media to enhance taste, reduce chlorine, and eliminate unpleasant odors (model dependent).
This 1-piece filter unit is easy to install, cleanable, and reusable, making it a sustainable and cost-effective choice for both home and field use. Its standard dimensions of 98mm x 90mm allow for broad compatibility with a variety of commercial water filter housings and DIY configurations.

Benefits
1. Exceptional Filtration Performance
The ceramic filter traps tiny contaminants through its ultra-fine pores, creating a physical barrier against harmful pathogens and micro-pollutants. It effectively removes bacteria, algae, rust, silt, and suspended solids, ensuring water clarity and safety for consumption.
2. Long-Term Reusability
Unlike single-use filters, ceramic filters can be washed and reused multiple times. As debris accumulates, users can gently scrub the surface to restore flow — allowing the filter to be used for months or even years, depending on water quality and volume.
3. Chemical-Free Purification
Ideal for people sensitive to chlorine or those avoiding chemical disinfectants, this ceramic water filter uses mechanical filtration only. No chemical residues, no aftertaste — just clean, natural water.
4. Improved Water Taste and Odor
Models with activated carbon cores remove chlorine, VOCs (volatile organic compounds), and organic contaminants that cause bad taste and odor. The result is fresh, great-tasting water — even from low-quality sources.
5. Emergency and Off-Grid Ready
When the power goes out or access to bottled water is cut off, this filter continues to work without electricity. It’s a top choice for preppers, campers, and off-grid homes, offering reliable purification anywhere.
6. Versatile Compatibility
Its universal 98mm diameter and 90mm height make it an ideal replacement for ceramic filters in Berkey, Doulton, ProOne, and many other gravity water systems, including stainless steel and plastic reservoirs.
7. Environmentally Responsible
Every filter you clean and reuse means fewer disposable cartridges going to landfills. By choosing ceramic filtration, you're reducing plastic waste and promoting sustainable water practices.
Why You Should Choose This Ceramic Water Filter
✅ Proven Technology

Installation Instructions
- Disassemble your gravity water filter system’s top chamber.
- Insert the ceramic filter through the hole in the chamber base.
- Secure with the included washer and nut, ensuring a tight seal.
- Prime the filter if needed (allow first few liters to pass through before use).
- Clean surface every few weeks by gently scrubbing with a scouring pad.
Avoid dropping or over-tightening the ceramic unit, as ceramic can crack under pressure.
Maintenance Tips
- Clean the ceramic shell every 2–4 weeks, or when flow rate decreases.
- Do not use soap or harsh chemicals to clean the filter surface.
- Replace the filter when it becomes too thin from repeated scrubbing or if it’s visibly damaged.
- Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- If unused for long periods, flush the filter before resuming use.
