British Berkefeld 1L Portable Benchtop Gravity Water Filter

If you are looking for the best water filter for a home in New Zealand or Australia that removes microplastics, chlorine, and heavy metals without needing a plumber, the British Berkefeld 1L Portable Benchtop Gravity Water Filter is your definitive solution.

As the official Doulton distributor in NZ, we provide proven, premium water filtration systems that deliver exactly what is promised on the label.

Why Choose the British Berkefeld 1L System?

When it comes to your health, your water filter should never be a guessing game. Many generic filters come with unsupported claims, but British Berkefeld systems are backed by rigorous testing and independent certifications, including NSF and WRAS.

Consider this fundamental truth: if you don’t use a high-quality water filter, your body becomes the filter. Investing in a premium gravity water filter supports your body’s natural detoxification, improves mental clarity, and encourages you to drink more water, which directly assists with weight management.

Beyond the personal health benefits, this system is a smart financial move. Instead of buying expensive single-use plastic bottles, you can generate clean, great-tasting water for just a few cents per litre. You save money while actively protecting the environment from plastic waste.

Choose Your Cartridge Setup

This system is completely customisable based on your specific needs. You can choose between two premium 7-inch ceramic and carbon-based cartridges:

1. Doulton Ultra Fluoride Filter Cartridge (Model 8B76)

• Best For: Removal of fluoride and a wide range of contaminants.

• Target Contaminants: Fluoride, microplastics, heavy metals (lead, arsenic), pesticides, chlorine, pharmaceutical drugs, bacteria (E. coli), and cysts (Giardia).

• Certification: Certified by NSF and WRAS (2204074).

2. Doulton Ultra Sterasyl Filter Cartridge (Model 8674)

• Best For: Removal of a wide range of contaminants and fluoride removal is not required.

• Target Contaminants: Forever chemicals (PFAS), microplastics, heavy metals (lead), pesticides, chlorine, pharmaceutical drugs, bacteria (E. coli), and cysts (Giardia).

• Certification: Certified by NSF (Standards 42, 53, 372, 401) and WRAS (2204074).

Important Note: Do not mix Ultra Sterasyl and Ultra Fluoride cartridges in the same system, as this reduces filtration performance.

Quick Start Care & Maintenance Guide

How to Flush New Filter Cartridge

1. Install your selected cartridge into the upper chamber of the stainless steel housing.

2. Fill the top container with water, let it filter completely through to the bottom chamber and discard the filtered water run.

3. Repeat this process two more times (this process can take up to 48 hours).

4. Remove the cartridge, clean the stainless steel chambers with mild dish soap and a soft cloth, rinse, and dry.

5. Install the cartridge into the upper chamber and your system is ready.

How to Clean Filter Cartridges

If your water flow slows down over time due to heavy sediment, simply hold the threaded stem of the cartridge, place it under cold running water, and scrub the ceramic surface with the abrasive side of a clean scourer sponge. Ensure no raw water enters the threaded plastic stem. Lay the cartridge on its side until you are ready to reassemble the unit.

When to Replace Filters

The manufacturer recommends replacing the cartridge every 6 months.
