Unboxing the Doulton Ultracarb

Upon receiving the Doulton Ultracarb, customers got everything they needed to get up and running. Here’s everything the package included:

  • The stainless steel filter unit itself

  • A ceramic filter cartridge

  • Two hose options to match any kitchen style

  • A set of installation instructions

Setting Up the Doulton Ultracarb Water Filter

Putting this filter together is easy and straightforward. Here’s what the step-by-step process looks like:

Step 1: Preparing the Filter

The installation process starts with removing the stainless steel cover to access the inside of the filter base.

Step 2: Inserting the Cartridge

The ceramic cartridge has to be unwrapped and placed into the filter base where it will be screwed in secure.

Step 3: Putting the Cover Back On

Once the cartridge is in place, the next step is to gently screw the stainless steel cover back on.

Step 4: Hooking it Up to the Tap

The next step involves unscrewing the little aerator from the end of the kitchen tap. Depending on the tap's thread, an adaptor might be needed for this step. Afterwards, the diverter must be attached to switch between unfiltered and filtered water.

Step 5: Turning on the Tap

Once it's all connected, the last step is simply turning on the tap. By switching the diverter valve, water is able to flow through the filter, providing purified water.

Maintenance Tips for Longevity

  • Regular Clean: It's important to give the stainless steel exterior a wipe down with a soft cloth to make sure it looks clean.

  • Changing the Cartridge: The ceramic cartridge must be replaced according to the manufacturer's recommendations, which is typically every 12 months.

  • Handle with Care: The ceramic cartridge is fragile. Customers are advised to be careful and not to drop or mishandle it to avoid any cracks.
