Clearwater introduces the F6C1-UF Ultra Filtration System, an advanced filtration technology applied across Clearwater’s boiling water and filter tap ranges, delivering one of the most comprehensive domestic filtration solutions currently available in the UK market.
Public concern around drinking water quality in Britain has increased significantly in recent years. Research commissioned by UK water quality and filtration organisations has shown that a large proportion of UK consumers express concern about contaminants in tap water, particularly relating to microplastics, PFAS and chemical residues. At the same time, independent studies conducted by UK universities have identified microplastics in the majority of sampled river systems, highlighting how widespread plastic pollution has become within the environment.
More recently, scientific analysis has also drawn attention to nanoplastics, particles significantly smaller than microplastics that are invisible to the naked eye. These particles have been detected in both bottled and tap water in various international studies, prompting broader public debate about long term exposure. Combined with increasing media coverage around PFAS, often described as lifetime or forever chemicals, consumer awareness has reached new levels.
The F6C1-UF system has been engineered in direct response to these modern concerns.

At its core is an ultrafiltration membrane rated at 0.04 microns. This high precision membrane is designed to reduce microplastics and nanoplastics, as well as bacteria, pathogens and fine particulates. It also assists in lowering levels of PFAS or “lifetime chemicals” and other persistent chemical contaminants that have become a growing topic of discussion in the UK.
A carbon block stage enhances taste and odour by removing chlorine and organic impurities, ensuring water is not only purified but noticeably fresher and cleaner in flavour. Integrated KDF 55 media helps inhibit limescale formation, protecting kitchen appliances while retaining beneficial minerals such as calcium and magnesium.
Installed within Clearwater’s boiling water and filter taps, the F6C1-UF system provides filtered cold water and filtered near boiling water directly at the point of use. This reduces reliance on bottled water, cuts down on single use plastic waste and gives households greater control over their daily hydration.
As scrutiny around water quality continues to grow across the UK, Clearwater’s F6C1-UF Ultra Filtration System offers a positive and practical solution. It brings advanced filtration science into the heart of the kitchen, delivering confidence, clarity and reassurance in every glass.
Clean water is essential. With the F6C1-UF, it becomes an informed choice as well as an everyday convenience.
