Why You'll Love It

  • 💧 Ultra-Fine Filtration: 0.5-micron pores effortlessly trap dirt, rust, and suspended particles.
  • 💧 System Protection: Acts as a heavy-duty shield to extend the life of your main multi-stage cartridge.
  • 💧 Eco-Friendly & Washable: Simply scrub the ceramic surface gently to restore water flow!
  • 💧 Gravity Powered: Requires absolutely zero electricity or plumbing—perfect for home, office, or off-grid camping.

Clearer, Better-Looking Water

If your benchtop gravity system is slowing down or you’re noticing grit and fine particles in the top bowl, this simple swap will get things flowing cleanly again.

The ceramic dome sits perfectly in the upper chamber of your system. As you pour tap or tank water into the bowl, natural gravity draws it slowly through the microscopic pores. Particles larger than 0.5 microns are held back, helping reduce visible sediment before the water moves into the lower chamber.

Preparation Before Use:

Steps on how to clean and prepare a ceramic dome filter
  1. Soak & Rinse: Soak the dome in clean water, then rinse thoroughly (inside and out) to remove any harmless ceramic dust.
  2. Fitment: Seat the rubber ring at the base, place the dome into the upper tank opening, and secure using your system’s fastening hardware.

Cleaning Guide:

Guide on how to gently scrub a ceramic filter under running water
  1. Rinse: Rinse under cool running water.
  2. Wipe: Gently wipe with a soft sponge or non-abrasive pad to expose a fresh ceramic layer.
  3. Avoid: Do NOT use detergents or abrasive scourers, as they can damage the ceramic surface.

We dispatch all replacement filters daily from our Australian warehouses. Orders placed before 12 PM AEST are typically dispatched the very same business day. You'll receive a tracking link via email, with delivery generally taking 2-5 business days directly to your door.

A Note on Private Water Supplies: If you use tank, rainwater, or bore water, a ceramic dome is fantastic for reducing sediment and improving clarity. However, it shouldn’t be treated as a complete purification solution for untreated water. Awesome Water Filters ships Australia-wide! View our Warranty & Returns information for more details.

Common Questions

Question: How often should I replace the ceramic dome? Answer: Many customers replace every 6–12 months. If flow drops significantly, cleaning doesn’t restore it, or the dome stays heavily discoloured, it’s usually time to replace.
Question: Why is the flow so slow? Answer: Slow filtration is normal for ceramic because the pores are extremely fine (0.5 micron) and it’s gravity-fed. That slower pace is exactly what allows it to capture fine sediment effectively!
Question: Does this remove fluoride? Answer: No, this standard ceramic dome is primarily a physical sediment pre-filter. For heavy chemical and fluoride reduction, check out our compatible Awesome 97% Fluoride Removal Ceramic Dome.
Question: Will it fit my system? Answer: It is designed to fit Awesome Water coolers and standard benchtop gravity systems. For other brands, simply measure your existing dome and check the thread size before ordering.

Ceramic Dome Filter Helpful Tips

The Awesome Water Ceramic Dome Filter consists of a hollow-core ceramic material that acts as a highly effective physical barrier against impurities.

It is the first line of defence in water purification, ensuring that harmful contaminants are removed before water reaches the next stage of filtration.

Water flows through millions of microscopic pores in the ceramic dome, capturing and removing harmful particles. The filter is designed with an internal convoluted maze of sharp angles that further trap any impurities that might bypass the outer surface.

💧 Captures Particles as Small as 0.5 Microns – Ensuring ultra-fine particulate filtration.
💧 Removes Bacteria, Parasites & Sediment – Effectively filtering out harmful microorganisms and dirt.
💧 Works in Harmony with Other Awesome Water Filters – Making it an essential component of your water purification system.

1️⃣ Soak the ceramic dome in clean water for at least 10 minutes.
2️⃣ Rinse thoroughly under running water, especially inside the filter.
3️⃣ Attach the rubber ring and assemble it with the upper tank.
4️⃣ Secure with the nut, reassemble the upper tank, and enjoy pure, filtered alkaline water!

✔ High-Efficiency Water Purification – Removes bacteria, sediment, and contaminants with high precision.
✔ Eco-Friendly & Chemical-Free – Uses natural ceramic filtration without harsh chemicals.
✔ Ideal for Rainwater, Tank Water & Bore Water Users – Ensuring safe and clean drinking water for households using non-municipal sources.
✔ Trusted First-Stage Filtration – Lays the foundation for a multi-layer purification system.

🔹 Please Note: The Ceramic Dome Water Filter has a slower filtration process than our BPA-Free Plastic Dome because it removes more impurities.

The full filtration cycle can take up to 24 hours to pass from the top bowl to the bottom bowl. If you need faster filtration, consider using our BPA-Free Plastic Dome with Felt Pads, which filters in approximately one hour.

🧼 Gently clean using a soft sponge or non-abrasive pad – avoid detergents to prolong its lifespan.


🔄 Recommended replacement: Every 6 months for optimal filtration performance.
