Frequently Asked Questions

What Is A Cyst Rating and Why Is It Important?

If a filter is cyst rated, it can remove protozoan cysts from your water.

Protozoan cysts are tiny parasites sometimes found in untreated or poorly treated water. When ingested they can cause illness.  They are of particular concern for anyone drinking untreated rainwater, river water, dam water or bore water.

The most common types of protozoan cysts are cryptosporidium and giardia. They can cause diarrhea, stomach pain, bloating, cramps and a variety of other painful symptoms.

Most cyst rated filters are carbon blocks with a rating of 1 micron or lower. Filters this fine can capture protozoan cysts which are typically above 1 micron in size.
