Doulton & British Berkefeld ceramic water filter systems for Canadian homes, cottages and travel.
Use this guide to understand the main Doulton filter choices, how ceramic filtration is used at the point of use, and when to ask for help before ordering.
Quick answer: which Doulton system should I consider?
For simple kitchen use, start with countertop or under-sink systems. For cottages, travel or emergency preparedness, compare gravity and portable options. For existing systems, start with the replacement candle or part number.
Popular Doulton filter system types
Doulton products are point-of-use systems, meaning the water is treated where it is used for drinking and cooking rather than treating every litre entering the home.

Countertop filters
Countertop filters connect at the faucet and are often the easiest choice when you want filtered drinking water without under-counter plumbing.
See countertop products
Under-sink systems
Under-sink systems are a cleaner permanent kitchen installation, usually used with a dedicated drinking water faucet.
See under-sink products
Gravity filters
Gravity systems can be useful for cottages, travel, preparedness and situations where pressure plumbing is not preferred.
See gravity productsReplacement ceramic candles
Many customers arrive at Doulton.ca because they need to replace a ceramic candle in an existing filter housing. The correct candle can depend on the system, housing size, thread style and desired treatment capability.
- Search by Part No. or Doulton Ref in the catalogue.
- Send a photo or model number if you are unsure.
- Ask before ordering if the system is older or unlabelled.
Why not just bottled water?
Bottled water can be expensive, heavy to carry and inconvenient for daily household use. A properly selected point-of-use drinking water filter can provide a practical supply of filtered water for drinking and cooking.
The right filter depends on the water source and the contaminants of concern. No single filter is the correct answer for every situation.
