A ceramic filter refers to a versatile filter that use natural media to decontaminate air or to remove sediments from potable water. Ceramic water filters majorly consist of a ceramic filter candle, or cartridge, to process the water and filter out bacteria, turbidity, viruses, protozoa, microbial cysts and other contaminants through a network of pores. These filters are majorly manufactured using fine silica powder, along with various types of clays, such as white kaolin, red terracotta and back clay. They are usually installed in households or used as a portable filtration device that can be gravity- or pressure-fed, placed under the sink, on a countertop or used for light industrial applications.
