Can you please indicate the absolute micron filter size used in the universal chrome shower filter and can you please provide a copy of the test certification?Do you have a system suitable for sealed bath spout application?Thank you.
Shower filters do not have an absolute micron rating as they are not designed to filter out particulates or sediment only chemicals, in particular chlorine. I am not sure what certification you are referring to here. Perhaps you could explain this a little more for us. We do have a bath filter however this involves …

I’ve previously used the AS100 and was very pleased with it, but you’re right, every year the replacement got harder and harder to untwist and re-twist. Is the difference between this and the A100 just the ease of replacement?
The filter housing on the AS100 tends to become more difficult to undo and re-tighten as the system ages. To avoid this we suggest lubricating the o-ring every 1-2 years with a food grade lube. (can be purchased from Aqua Safe) This will prevent the 0-ring from gripping to the filter base making it difficult …

Will my Doulton® filter remove Pseudamonas aeroginosa?
Pseudomonas aeroginosa is a potential coloniser of water system networks and is similar in size to E-coli. Ceramic filters will therefore reduce this bacteria much the same as for E-coli. However, since this organism is rapid growing and may recover quickly, a <99.99% barrier maybe insufficient. A limited number of cells may pass through the …
