How to Prevent Overfilling a Benchtop Gravity Water Filter [VIDEO]

G'day folks, Rod from My Water Filter here.

Today we are comparing three different styles of Benchtop Gravity Filters to show you how to avoid overfilling a benchtop gravity filter.

1. Ceramic Benchtop Water Filter (Top Tank Inside the Bottom Tank)
2. Plastic Benchtop Water Filter (Top Tank On Top Of Bottom Tank)
3. Stainless Steel Benchtop Water Filter (Top Tank Inserted to the Bottom Tank)

Ceramic Benchtop Water Filter (Top Tank Inside the Bottom Tank)

The Ceramic Filter we have featured in the video below has the top tank inside of the bottom tank which means no matter how many times you fill it; it will never cause the bottom tank to overflow and spill out onto your benchtop. When you load the top tank, the water flows through the candle and into the bottom tank. When the bottom tank is full, the top tank will also remain full.

Plastic Benchtop Water Filter (Top Tank On Top Of Bottom Tank)

In cases where your benchtop water filter has the top tank on top of the bottom tank, you will notice that you can continuously fill the top tank and it will always filter through, even if it means spilling out onto your benchtop.

These systems have a little overflow hole, and the water will start to slowly trickle out onto the benchtop if the bottom tank is completely full.

They are still a great system, but you just need to be aware of how much water you put in the top in relation to the holding capacity in the bottom.

Just make sure there's enough room in the bottom tank to contain and hold that water once it filters down from the top tank.

Stainless Steel Benchtop Water Filter (Top Tank Inserted to the Bottom Tank)

The Stainless Steel Benchtop Water Filter is a sleek system with the top tank inserted above the bottom tank. While it offers excellent filtration, it's important to avoid overfilling. Adding too much water can create pressure, potentially causing leaks where the tanks meet in the middle. For a truly leak-free experience, consider the Filteroo Superoo, our stainless steel gravity-fed water filter designed to prevent this issue. To learn more about Filteroo Superoo, click here.

 

In this video, learn about the ways how to prevent overfilling a Benchtop Gravity Water Filters and their water filtration capabilities. Discover how the top tank sits inside the bottom tank for fail-proof, leak-free operation in some models, and how to properly manage water levels to avoid overflow. Get tips on maximising efficiency and ensuring your gravity filter system works smoothly for clean, filtered water every time.

Which is the Best Gravity Water Filter?

If you are looking for a Benchtop Gravity Filter that doesn't overflow, we highly recommend the Filteroo Superoo 16L Stainless Steel Gravity Water Filter. It will never leak as the top and bottom tank configurations have been uniquely purposely designed, so the top tank installs inside the bottom tank, which means this system can hold double the water volume of normal stainless steel systems and can never, ever leak.
