“…The silver-impregnated CWF achieves an impressive LRV of 5.6 against V. cholerae. 78 Despite the excellent antibacterial properties of silver, its high cost poses a challenge for CWF. In order to address this issue, silver (Ag) is often combined with other antibacterial materials, such as zinc (Zn), to reduce the filter production costs.…”

Access to clean water remains challenging for people living in underdeveloped regions, rural areas, and remote locations. In the absence of centralized water treatment systems, point-of-use (POU) solutions are necessary. Ceramic water filters (CWFs) have emerged as a practical and affordable option for decentralized water treatment. This review focuses on recent advances in antibacterial CWFs, including preparation methods, filtration performance, and applications. The review highlights the significance of preparation techniques, material choices, and additives in determining CWF properties and performance. Despite virus and chemical contaminant removal limitations, ongoing research on nanofillers and antibacterial additives shows promise for enhancing the CWF performance. The costeffectiveness, ease of production, and low operational requirements of CWF make it a viable solution for decentralized drinking water systems, particularly in resource-limited areas. Studies have demonstrated the efficacy of CWFs in reducing water contaminants, but proper maintenance and user training are crucial to optimal performance.

Laboratory efficacy of locally manufactured ceramic water filters in removing Vibrio cholerae

Abstract: Results highlight that locally-manufactured ceramic water filters from different factories have high variability in V. cholerae removal efficacy, and silver disinfection is the most critical mechanism to remove V. cholerae from drinking water.
