The Red Wing stoneware companies used both terms "success" and "perfection" to label these filtering systems. Minnesota Stoneware Company called theirs the Perfection Filter. Red Wing Stoneware Company called theirs the Success Filter. Red Wing Potteries later also used the Perfection Filter name.

Despite the name, the filtering system was all basically the same. One crock to hold well water sat on top of another which would contain the filtered water. The well water in the top crock slowly dripped through a filtered hole into the lower crock. A spigot in the lower crock allowed the water to flow into a mug. The whole system was topped with a lid and sometimes sat on a base.
