- Please note: This filter is not suitable for gravity-fed systems, we recommend at least 50 psi pressure when using this filter.
Ultra-fine filtration is here and changing the way we filter water. The ability to filter water right down to 0.1 microns, takes away the need for powered UV appliances for the disinfection of bacteria, parasites and viruses. This is of particular relevance in older homes where power points are not readily found under sinks, or in caravans and camper vans.
This system was designed in an “outside-in” direction so the life of the filter is enormously extended, but like all filtration the dirtier the water, the faster the cartridge will expire.
Disclaimer: Do not use this system to filter microbiologically unsafe water or water of unknown quality without adequate disinfection. We recommend dosing your tank with a product such as Hydrosil Ultra 7.5% Water Sanitiser to ensure full protection against microbiological contamination in your pipework and filter system, and to help prevent biofouling within the filter.

about water sanitation
Disclaimer: Do not use or drink microbiologically unsafe water or water of unknown quality without adequate disinfection.
Recommendation for Rain/Tank Water
If you use Rain/Tank Water, please see below our recommended filtration schedule to ensure safe drinking water:
1. External Sediment + Carbon Pre-Filtration to Prevent Tank Clogging + Improve Initial Taste & Odour
2. Tank Dose with HydroSilUltra 7.5% for Protection Against Bacteria & Viruses
3. Undersink <1 Micron Absolute Filter for Protection against Parasites & (Optional) Coconut Carbon for Improved Final Taste & Odour
Read on for a full explanation of why we recommend this as the minimum standard of filtration for treating Rain/Tank Water for drinking.
for protection
against bacteria
Bacteria (such as E.Coli) can colonize in the stagnant water and result in harmful illnesses when consumed.
For sanitation against common water-borne bacteria/viruses in rainwater, we, therefore, recommend dosing your tank with a product such as Hydrosil Ultra 7.5% Water Sanitiser to ensure protection against microbiological contamination/biofouling in your pipework and/or filter system. HydroSil is a food-grade silver-activated, hydrogen- peroxide based water sanitiser, which acts to oxidise bacteria and viruses, without leaving any dangerous residues behind. HydroSil sanitizes and protects your tanks and water storage devices, making rainwater safe and suitable for human consumption. HydroSil is not a chlorine-based chemical like most sterilisers on the market today. It is non-toxic, and safe to use around your home and family.
Dosage Rate: HydroSil should be dosed at a rate of 200mL per 1000L of water. To scale down to tank size, you will require 20mL per 100L.
for protection
against parasites/protozoa
Ingesting waterborne parasites (Protozoan Cysts) such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia (which flourish in raw water sources such as rain water tanks), are a common cause of gastroenteritis. Whilst Chlorine can inactivate Giardia with a moderate dose and contact time, Chlorine has a negligible effect on Cryptosporidium unless dosed in excess of the acceptable Chlorine limit per the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines (Version 3.6, pp. 200).
For protection against these common cysts, we, therefore, recommend under sink filtration down to at least 1 Micron (Absolute) or smaller (i.e. with Reverse Osmosis). Such fine filtration, used along with regular sanitation (i.e. with HydroSil Ultra 7.5%) is a cost- effective and safe drinking water solution for rain water, and is perfect for casual disinfection requirements such as when travelling in a caravan.
