__NOTOC__ <small-title />

There are several producers of ceramic candle filters. The product discussed here is the Water4life Gravity Unit ceramic candle filter.

A comparative study between a variety of ceramic candle filters, including the low cost filters imported into Senegal and the top of the line British Birkfield filters, showed very little statistical difference between the performance of the filters. The $4 USD filters imported from Brazil work just as well as the $40 USD filters made in the UK. The study, titled “A Performance Study of Ceramic Candle Filters in Kenya,” can be found on the MIT.edu website.
