The Phoenix Gravity Water Filter is a gravity-fed water filter built for households of 1-2 people who want cleaner drinking water without electricity or plumbing. Using Smart Carbon Cartridges, it removes up to 99.9% of contaminants while retaining natural minerals, suiting homes, units and off-grid living across Australia.
Why Choose Smart Carbon Filtration
The Phoenix uses a dual-action Smart Carbon Cartridge system that combines mechanical and chemical filtration in a single pass:
- Mechanical filtration: a dense, porous wall captures physical contaminants such as microplastics, sediment, bacteria and cysts
- Adsorption filtration: activated carbon adheres chemical contaminants including chlorine, PFAS and pesticides to its surface
- Filtration efficiency: removes up to 99.9% of contaminants, including microplastics, bacteria, heavy metals and PFAS
- Mineral retention: retains 100% of naturally occurring minerals in your water
- Gravity-powered: no electricity or water pressure required to operate
Fluoride Removal and Stand Options
The Phoenix is available in two cartridge configurations and three stand options, allowing you to match the unit to your household's needs and kitchen setup:
- Smart Carbon Cartridges — standard contaminant and mineral-retention filtration
- Smart Carbon + Fluoride Removal Cartridges — adds fluoride reduction to the standard filtration process
- No Stand — the filter unit only, for placement on an existing benchtop or surface
- Teak Wood Stand — a timber stand for benchtop or floor placement
- Stainless Steel Stand — a stainless steel stand option (Smart Carbon Cartridge configuration only)
All variants are built for a 6 Litre capacity, suited to 1-2 people.
Fits Your Lifestyle
Because the Phoenix operates on gravity alone, it doesn't need electricity or connection to household plumbing. This makes it a practical option for kitchen benchtops, granny flats, sheds, caravans or any space where a plumbed-in filter isn't possible or preferred.
- No electricity or water pressure required
- No plumbing installation needed
- Suitable for 1-2 person households
- Choice of cartridge type and stand finish to suit your space

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Phoenix Gravity Water Filter remove from water? +
The Phoenix uses Smart Carbon Cartridges to remove up to 99.9% of contaminants, including microplastics, sediment, bacteria, cysts, chlorine, PFAS and pesticides. Mechanical filtration captures physical particles while activated carbon adsorbs chemical contaminants. Unlike many filters, it retains 100% of naturally occurring minerals, giving you cleaner water without stripping beneficial mineral content.
Is the Phoenix Gravity Water Filter compatible with different stands? +
Yes, the Phoenix is available with No Stand, a Teak Wood Stand, or a Stainless Steel Stand. All options house the same 6 litre filter unit and Smart Carbon Cartridges, so you can choose based on your kitchen benchtop space and preferred finish without affecting filtration performance.
How often do the Smart Carbon Cartridges need replacing? +
Cartridge lifespan depends on household water usage and water quality, so check the product guidelines included with your Phoenix unit for the recommended replacement interval. Replacing cartridges as advised maintains the 99.9% contaminant removal rate and ensures consistent mineral retention in your filtered drinking water.
How do I install the Phoenix Gravity Water Filter? +
The Phoenix is a gravity-fed system requiring no electricity or plumbing connection. Simply assemble the unit on your chosen stand or benchtop, fit the Smart Carbon Cartridges, and pour water into the upper chamber. Gravity draws water through the cartridges into the lower chamber, ready for drinking.
What size and cartridge options does the Phoenix come in? +
The Phoenix Gravity Water Filter is available in a 6 litre capacity suited to households of 1-2 people. It comes with either standard Smart Carbon Cartridges or Smart Carbon plus Fluoride Removal Cartridges, letting you select the filtration level that best matches your household's water quality needs.
