OEM/ODM Ceramic Water Filter Cartridges for Bacteria

Ceramic Water Filter Cartridges for Bacteria

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Introduction to Ceramic Water Filter Cartridges

Ceramic Water Filter Cartridges are a highly reliable and low-cost solution for physically removing bacteria, protozoa, and fine sediment from water sources. Ceramic filtration works on the principle of microporous filtration: water is forced through the extremely small, uniform pores of the fired ceramic material, typically rated at 0.5 to 1 micron. These tiny pores are physically smaller than most waterborne pathogens (bacteria are usually 0.5 to 5 micron), effectively blocking and removing them from the water stream without the use of chemicals or electricity.

Ningbo Yaorui Water Purification Technology Co., LTD. manufactures ceramic cartridges using precision-controlled firing processes to achieve highly consistent pore size for maximum bacterial reduction efficiency. Many of our ceramic filters are treated with colloidal silver, which provides an added layer of bacteriostatic protection—inhibiting bacterial growth within the cartridge media itself. We offer standard 10" x 2.5" sizes, as well as specialized portable and gravity filter elements.

These filters are essential components for water treatment in regions reliant on untreated surface or well water, where microbial safety is the primary concern. They are also used in portable and emergency filtration kits. Our 15 years of manufacturing focus ensures high porosity and mechanical strength, guaranteeing flawless quality and operational reliability for our international partners in humanitarian aid, outdoor, and specialized filtration markets.

The Nominal Micron Rating is the most critical specification, directly correlating to the filter's ability to physically block pathogens. While the Flow Rate is inherently slow due to the fine filtration, this ensures maximum safety. The Cleaning Feature is a major benefit: when the ceramic surface becomes clogged with sediment, the user can scrub the surface with a non-abrasive pad to expose a fresh layer of ceramic, restoring the flow rate—an economical and sustainable feature. We offer various core compositions (e.g., carbon core for taste/odor removal, or hollow ceramic for faster flow) to meet specific OEM needs. Our manufacturing process ensures highly consistent pore size and mechanical strength, which are vital for the operational reliability of this technology.

Core Advantages of Ceramic Filters

  • Exceptional Bacterial Removal: The fine, consistent pore structure guarantees the physical removal of over 99.99% of common bacteria (like E. coli) and cysts (Giardia), providing a proven, verifiable microbial barrier.

  • Low Long-Term Cost (Cleanable): Unlike disposable filters, the ceramic cartridge can be cleaned multiple times to restore flow, significantly extending its service life and reducing the replacement frequency, making it highly economical for end-users.

  • No Chemicals or Electricity Required: The filtration process is purely mechanical, meaning it works reliably on gravity or low pressure without relying on power grids or chemical additives, making it perfect for off-grid or remote applications.

  • Bacteriostatic Protection: The inclusion of silver (or other bacteriostatic agents) inhibits the growth of bacteria within the filter's pores, maintaining the hygiene of the cartridge media itself during periods of non-use.

  • Versatile Core Options: We offer models with internal GAC or KDF media cores to add taste/odor reduction and heavy metal removal alongside the ceramic's bacterial filtration, creating a comprehensive single-cartridge solution.

These core advantages underscore the ceramic filter's role as a reliable, sustainable, and highly effective microbiological safety device.

Essential Applications for Ceramic Cartridges

Ceramic filters are indispensable where microbiological safety is paramount, often without access to reliable electricity.

  • Private Well Water/Cistern Water: Providing a reliable point-of-use or point-of-entry barrier against occasional bacterial intrusions in untreated water sources, often used as a final safety step.

  • Portable and Gravity Filtration Systems: The core element for small, non-electric systems used in outdoor recreation, camping, or emergency preparedness kits, leveraging gravity for filtration.

  • Humanitarian Aid and Disaster Relief: Used globally in areas without stable municipal water treatment infrastructure, providing a simple, reliable, and reusable means of making water microbially safe.

  • Rural Homes and Cabins: Ideal for intermittent-use properties where standing water can lead to bacterial growth, offering a low-maintenance, chemical-free disinfection solution.

  • Pre-filtration for UV Systems: While less common, they can be used to dramatically reduce the turbidity (cloudiness) of water, ensuring that a downstream UV sterilizer can operate at maximum effectiveness.

Their effectiveness against bacteria and simple operation make them a high-demand product in multiple global niche markets.

Payment and Shipping for International Orders

We are committed to providing seamless and competitive logistics solutions for our international clientele. Located in the strategically important Ningbo Seaport City, we maximize efficiency and minimize shipping costs for global exports.

  • Payment Terms: We typically accept Telegraphic Transfer (T/T) as the primary payment method. For established partners with a history of orders, we may offer negotiable terms such as Letter of Credit (L/C) at sight or a deposit followed by balance payment upon Bill of Lading (B/L) copy. Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ) apply for OEM and custom manufacturing to ensure efficiency.

  • Shipping Logistics: Our proximity to Ningbo Sea Port allows for efficient consolidation and dispatch of both Full Container Load (FCL) and Less than Container Load (LCL) shipments. We offer multiple Incoterms options, including FOB Ningbo and CIF to major international ports globally. Due to their fragile nature, ceramic filters require specialized, high-protection packaging.

  • Lead Time: Standard lead time for production and quality control checks for ceramic cartridges is generally 40-50 days after deposit, due to the critical and time-intensive firing, cooling, and final inspection process.

  • Documentation: We provide comprehensive export documentation, including Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading, and Certificates of Origin as required. Detailed microbial and pore size test reports are supplied for performance verification.

We take extra care in logistics, ensuring the delicate ceramic components are packed securely and arrive undamaged for our international humanitarian and distribution partners.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • Q: How do I clean and restore the flow of a ceramic filter?

  • A: When the flow rate slows, you must remove the cartridge and gently scrub the outer surface under running water using a clean, soft, non-abrasive pad (like a new Scotch-Brite pad). This action removes the clogged outer layer of sediment and exposes clean ceramic pores, restoring the flow rate.

  • Q: Can ceramic filters remove viruses?

  • A: Most bacteria are effectively removed. However, most waterborne viruses are significantly smaller (∼0.025 micron) than the pores of a standard ceramic filter. For certified virus removal, you must use a specialized ultrafiltration (UF) membrane or a Reverse Osmosis (RO) system, or use UV sterilization.

  • Q: Does the ceramic filter remove chlorine or taste/odor?

  • A: Pure ceramic media does not effectively remove chlorine, taste, or odor. For aesthetic improvement, you must use a ceramic cartridge with an integrated activated carbon core (which we supply) that provides both bacterial and chemical filtration.

  • Q: What happens if I drop or crack the ceramic filter?

  • A: A cracked ceramic cartridge must be immediately discarded. Any crack, even hairline, will compromise the physical barrier, allowing contaminated water to bypass the filtration media. Never use a cracked or chipped ceramic filter.
