A Vario Ceramic Disc is a replaceable component in a water filter that acts as a pre-filter to block larger particles and prolong the life of the main filter. It is also used in some high-end coffee grinders as a durable, heat-resistant burr that maintains sharpness. The term "Vario" can also refer to other products, like slurry injectors for agricultural use or dental restoration discs.

Function:A cleanable pre-filter disc that protects the pleated glass fiber filter cartridge from clogging by blocking larger particles.
-
Benefit:Helps maintain the filter's flow rate and extends the overall life of the filtration system.
