Water cooler filters are filed with kieselguhr or diatom earth. Diatomaceous silica is composed of microscopic diatoms. These in turn are made up of microscopic aquatic plants. They can also be called “infusorial earth” or “kieselguhr”. These microscopic particles are actually the fossilized shells from these tiny algae plants. Fossil records show these plants go back 20 million years, proliferating during the Mesozoic period (10 million years ago). It is these deposits, often 3000 ft deep that form the bulk of materials for the water cooler filters we use today.

The microscopic diatoms are superior in their present filtering qualities because of the nature in which their shells were created. The diatoms weaved these shells, the weaving process has resulted in shells comprised of surfaces with punctured with tiny holes. It is these holes in the shells which make the diatom the superior filtration media.

Water cooler filtrations systems are not the only use to which these microscopic shells are put. They are also highly sort after for their abrasive qualities. They are used for filtration of milk and can be put to use as an insulation material for kilns, to name just few. One famous product created from this material is none other that the fine bone china.

For Water cooler filters the diatom earth is used in conjunction with the latest ceramic techniques to produce a hollow porous ceramic. This is fired at a temperature in excess of 1000 centigrade. When in use the ceramic filter removes microscopic particles from the water. Due to its’ microscopic filtration properties it doesn’t remove oxygen and minerals from the water.

In 2005, analysis of 42 different samples of mains water from 42 different cities came back with the shocking result that there were 260 contaminants found within these samples. Of these contaminants, 141 had no official safety standards as they are under the category of unregulated chemicals.

‘’till tought by pain, man really know not what good water’s worth” - Lord Byron. From the advent of man, we have taken for granted the worlds’ natural cycle of water filtration. This process of water flow and filtration through the earths sedimentary layers has consistently provided man with good clear wholesome water. As our population and individual consumption of all resources, not to mention the pollution produced, increases this natural cycle is no longer able to cope with the increase in demand. Gradually as demand and pollution increases the natural cleansing cycle is being compromised.

The way man has tried to offset this problem is by adding counter elements to insure human health. Chlorine, ammonia, aluminum sulphate are just some of the chemicals regularly added to the water we drink. These are added to negate the effect of the additional contaminants routinely found within drinking water plants.

Water filtering of tap water is an excellent way of getting around this problem. The ancient diatoms are still doing the job they have been doing for countless centuries, but now within the cartridge filter of a water cooling system.
