Stelton 1310-10 Filter Pitcher Review
Our verdict
The Stelton 1310-10 is a premium-tier filter jug aimed at buyers who want Scandinavian design alongside ultrafiltration performance. At $136.21 it is among the pricier pitchers in this category, and the 2-liter capacity suits smaller households or single users rather than large families.

813 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other water filtration: replacement filters, under-sink and reverse osmosis systems, filter pitchers, water dispensers, coolers, faucet filters and softeners we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Stelton 1310-10 uses ultrafiltration, a membrane-based purification approach that is designed to reduce bacteria, cysts, and fine particulates by physically blocking them based on pore size. This is a different mechanism than the activated carbon or ion exchange used in most consumer pitchers, and it does not require a chemical medium that depletes over time in the same way.
The pitcher holds 2 liters, which is on the smaller side for a household pitcher. It is built from polycarbonate and configured as a countertop jug. Dimensions are 5.91 by 5.91 by 11.22 inches. The weight figure in the data (640 pounds) appears to be a data error and should be disregarded.
With 813 reviews and a 4.3-star rating, buyer satisfaction is reasonable, though not at the enthusiastic levels seen for dominant mass-market brands. No NSF or other third-party certification is listed in the available data.

Cons
- At $136.21, it is significantly more expensive than mainstream filter pitchers
- 2-liter capacity is small for families or high daily usage

Frequently asked questions
How is ultrafiltration different from activated carbon filtration?
Ultrafiltration uses a physical membrane with very small pores to block particles, bacteria, and cysts from passing through. Activated carbon works by adsorbing chemicals, chlorine taste, and odors onto the carbon surface. They address different types of contaminants. The Stelton 1310-10 uses ultrafiltration, which means it is designed to reduce microbial contaminants rather than primarily addressing taste and odor compounds the way activated carbon does.
Is the 2-liter capacity enough for daily household use?
Two liters is approximately 8 cups, which is comfortable for one to two people drinking primarily filtered water throughout the day. For a family of three or more, or for households that cook with filtered water in addition to drinking it, the 2-liter size will likely require multiple refill cycles daily. Consider a higher-capacity pitcher or dispenser if volume is a priority.
