When it comes to clean, safe drinking water, choosing the right filter for your water purifier is crucial. British Berkefeld, a trusted name in water filtration for over 185 years, offers two high-performance options for home water purification: the Ultra Sterasyl and the Ultra Fluoride filters. Understanding their key features and differences can help you make the best choice for your home and family.
What is the British Berkefeld Ultra Sterasyl Filter?
The Ultra Sterasyl filter is a ceramic-based filter element designed to remove common contaminants from drinking water. Inside the ceramic outer shell, you’ll find a carbon core that enhances taste and reduces chemicals.
Key Benefits of the Ultra Sterasyl Filter:
Removes Bacteria & Pathogens: Eliminates harmful bacteria such as E.coli, Salmonella, and Cholera.
Reduces Sediment & Turbidity: Captures particulates, improving water clarity.
Chlorine Reduction: Activated carbon core helps reduce chlorine and organic chemicals that affect taste and odour.
Long Life: Can typically filter thousands of litres before needing replacement.
Easy Maintenance: The ceramic shell can be cleaned and reused multiple times.
This filter is ideal if you’re concerned about biological contaminants and general water impurities without the specific need for fluoride removal.
What is the British Berkefeld Ultra Fluoride Filter?
The Ultra Fluoride filter builds upon the filtration capabilities of the Ultra Sterasyl but adds specific fluoride reduction functionality, thanks to a specialized fluoride media inside the filter.
Key Benefits of the Ultra Fluoride Filter:
Fluoride Removal: Reduces fluoride content in drinking water, addressing health concerns related to excessive fluoride exposure.
Bacteria & Pathogen Removal: Like the Ultra Sterasyl, it removes bacteria and cysts.
Chlorine and Chemical Reduction: Contains activated carbon for taste and odour improvements.
All-in-One Solution: Ideal for households with fluoridated municipal water supplies.
If your main concern is reducing fluoride alongside general purification, the Ultra Fluoride filter is the better choice.
Which Filter Should You Choose?
| Feature | Ultra Sterasyl | Ultra Fluoride |
|---|---|---|
| Bacteria Removal | Yes | Yes |
| Chlorine Reduction | Yes | Yes |
| Taste Improvement | Yes | Yes |
| Fluoride Reduction | No | Yes |

Choose the Ultra Sterasyl if you want robust, general-purpose filtration targeting bacteria, sediment, and chlorine.
Choose the Ultra Fluoride if you need fluoride reduction in addition to standard filtration.
