What is the history of British Berkefeld® Water Filters?
John Doulton founded his first pottery in 1815. As early as 1827, his son Henry, developed ceramic filters for removing bacteria from drinking water. Because the Thames river was heavily contaminated with raw sewage; cholera and typhoid epidemics were rampant, Queen Victoria commissioned Henry to produce a water filter for the Royal household. His Research and Development department created micro porous ceramic cartridges capable of removing bacteria with better than 99% efficiencyThese ceramics are used in British Berkefeld® gravity filters and are in use in over 150 countries. Today the British Berkefeld® name is the preferred choice for water purification products in world-wide locations where outbreaks of illness are associated with unreliable water supplies.
