Are you looking to replace your Franke or Doulton Filter Cartridges?
Confused by how to choose the right cartridge - let us help you with our simple guide!
1. Is your filter a 'Doulton' style or a 'Franke' style filter?
To find this out, look at the end of your filter cartridge. Examine the thread - the little pipe that sticks out at the end - and see whether it has an 'O' ring at the base of the thread or at the base and the tip of the thread.

2. Next, do you need an Ultracarb or a Supercarb version of your filter?
In simple terms, both cartridges do all that you would expect from a high quality water softener unit - including getting rid of some nasty bacteria! - but the main difference between the two is that the Ultracarb has the added bonus reducing the toxic lead content from the water.

Ultracarb:
The Doulton - Ultracarb filter cartridge, provides all the protection of the outer ceramic filter barrier, (designed to remove harmful cysts such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia and other solid matter) together with the water treatment capability of the carbon core, to remove Chlorine as well as those other unpleasant tastes and odours. This cartridge has the added benefit of a - Lead removing compound - to reduce toxic lead at a concentration 150ppb from the water for up to six months, or 600 gallons.

The Doulton - Supercarb will provide the same filtration protection as the Ultracarb in those areas where toxic lead is not deemed to be a problem, as it does not contain the Lead Reducing Compound. However it's ability to remove Chlorine and unpleasant tastes and odours is increased to 1000 gallons. (Chlorine challenge 2ppm).
