This system is made by Doulton in the United Kingdom and is all stainless steel (diverter is chromed brass) and contains the Genuine Doulton Ultracarb 10” filter candle.
The filter unit is supplied complete and also includes both white and black tubing, we add the black tubing in the shipment as we believe the black looks better with the bright stainless finish and is also less noticeable.
Be aware there are fake Chinese copies of this system sold and strangely they charge more for them, we only sell the genuine DOULTON units. How can you tell the fake from the genuine, if you look at the photo of the base of the unit you will notice the Doulton name and address stamped into the base, the fakes don't have the stamp.
