the Style A C-DSS Doulton Super Sterasyl Candle--9"
something like 37 dollars each
Style A: Price: $6 plus the price of the filter cartridge selected. This simple
filter adapter consists of a length of 1/4" plastic filter tubing and a Jaco
elbow fitting that attaches the tubing to the threads of a candle-style filter
cartridge. The end result (in case the explanation was too technical) is a
filter cartridge with a piece of plastic tubing hooked to it. Not a lot of
excess parts. The total cost of a siphon filter with a Doulton Super Sterasyl
cartridge capable of processing pond water for drinking is $36 for the cartridge
and $6 for the tubing assembly for a total of $42.
The operation is very simple. Get some water in a container--a flat container
big enough for the filter cartridge to lie horizontally in works best--, drop
the filter cartridge into the water, let it soak until it won't float, then suck
on the end of the tubing. . When you get water in your mouth, drop the tube into
another container a few inches lower than the first and clean water will flow
from the end of the tube into your container. The rate of flow is pretty
spectacular. Three gallons per hour is a reasonable expectation, and these
filters have done more than that in our tests. It's faster than a stainless
steel four-candle gravity filter and it will run on nature's energy as long as
you keep water in the top container. And, get this, the ceramic candle filter
acts like a lamp wick. It will suck every drop of water from the top container,
then start working again without priming if you pour more water into the
container.
