Differences Between Water Purifiers
Difference between Stainless Water Purifiers and Stoneware Water Purifiers
Stainless Steel Water Purifiers are light weight to ship and compact to pack away and travel. Stainless Water purifiers can only store up to the join and can over flow if you keep filling and not use the water in the lower tank. Stainless steel can look a bit commercial compared to the Stoneware, however less likely to be broken if dropped but may dint. Stoneware tend to keep water natural cooler.The Berkey stainless steel units have two candles standard, so filter at twice the rate. The unit can have four candles in them. Stoneware units the upper filter chamber sits inside the tank, so it can't over flow.
Difference between Ming Porcelain Water Purifiers and Ceramic Pottery Water Purifiers
Why are the Ming so cheap compare to the the other units? Chinese labour mainly and they are cast made.
The Ming are porcelain like your bathroom basin or table ware. Usually a bit stronger than ceramic however still will break if dropped on tiled floors. Other than that both Porcelain, Crystalline Porcelain, Ceramic, Terracotta and Stainless will filter your water just the same through a ceramic gravity filter candle at a rate of 1 litre per hour per candle. The Billabong, Crystalline and Artist range are Australian made and turned on a wheel with a potter, so they can vary in size slightly and color. The Crystalline glaze ones have the base connected to the tank, while the Ming, Billabong, White-Clay and Terracotta all have a separate pedestal they sit on.
Difference between molded and hand made on a potters wheel
The molded Water Purifiers (Ming, Alabaster and small range of molded Billabong (all separated on the menu into sections)) always the same size for that particular one. While the ones turned on a wheel all vary slightly in size. So it might say 8L for wheel turn and a certain height but it could be slightly wider or taller/shorter as each one is different. However all filter the water the same. All are similar quality.
No units have toxic glaze inside them and all of them as safe as the mug you drink your coffee or tea from.
Difference between Stoneware and cheap plastic units
Ceramic / Porcelain keeps the water naturally cooler and these units tend to out last their owners. While plastic units crack and disappear off the market after a while and a new one arrives with a filter that doesn't fit the old one. Australis Water Purifier units the filter candles have been around for decades now and they make approximately 1 million filter cartridges(filter candles) a year because they fit all type of units. Of course the Stoneware units look good in the kitchen and are easy to use and clean.
