Ceramic filters effectively remove bacteria from water through a process called physical filtration. The ceramic filter contains tiny pores that are small enough to allow water molecules pass, but trap bacteria, preventing the bacteria from passing through and contaminating the water.
As water flows through the ceramic filter, the bacteria are physically blocked by the tiny pores, while the water continues to flow through the filter. The result is water that is free from harmful bacteria and other microorganisms.
Ceramic filters are particularly effective at removing bacteria because they do not rely on chemicals, electricity or other treatments that can alter the taste or quality of the water. Instead, the physical filtration process provides a natural and effective way to purify water. Another benefit of ceramic filers is that they do not waste any water.
Regular maintenance and cleaning of a ceramic filter is simple. Lightly rub the ceramic filter with a scrub pad while running it under water. Regular cleaning ensures its continued effectiveness.
