__NOTOC__
The Siphon filter is a candle-type water filter which uses siphon pressure to force water through a high-quality ceramic filter element. The innovative useage of the siphon results in a high flow rate of 4-6 liters per hour. The Siphon filter is very compact, as only a filter element, a plastic hose, and a valve are needed, while existing storage containers can be used. A washable fabric is used as a pre-filter before the water enters the ceramic element. Therefore, protecting the ceramic filter from premature clogging when using turbid water.
