About the Coldstream Ceramic Cartridge
(for Steel MAX Water Purification Systems)
It is made up of three key components.
Capacity 3,000L
Cleanable Replacement Filter
The Coldstream MAX ceramic purification cartridge is cleanable. When debris builds up on the outside of the cartridge, the water processing time will slow down. The cartridge should be removed, and the exterior ceramic shell cleaned with a scrubby (no soap!) under cool running water to restore the speed of filtration before being reinserted into the steel housing. Your local water conditions will determine how frequently cleaning is required.
Unique Replacement Indicator
Unlike other ceramic filters, the MAX ceramic purifiers have an innovative outer blue layer containing antimicrobial properties which help the purification process. With repeated cleaning, the blue layer is gradually removed until the underlying white ceramic is exposed, indicating the time to replace the cartridge.
Contaminant Reduction
The Coldstream Steel MAX Water Purifier is performance tested for 6000L to NSF/ANSI standards for high performance protection from chemicals (including chlorine and chloramine), heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, pesticides & herbicides, particles, microplastics, bacteria, and waterborne viruses.
NOTE: Some of these contaminants may not be present in your water supply.
NOTE: Drinking water filters and purifiers are for cold water use only. Use only on municipally treated water or other water supply known to be microbiologically safe.

Can I recycle my used ceramic filter cartridge?
Recycling requires separating the different materials that make up the filter cartridge. You may be able to include the plastic mounts (once separated from the ceramic) in with other plastic recycling*. Try removing the plastic mount from the ceramic by using light impact with a hammer.
Next, cover the ceramic with an old rag (to prevent flying fragments) and gently break it into small pieces, again using light pressure with a hammer. The crushed ceramic and spent carbon can be returned to the earth.
* Check with your local recycling centre. The mount is made of Polypropylene.
The adapter is made of ABS plastic.
