With various contaminants including bacteria, chlorine, particulate and other impurities finding their way into our water supplies, the need for effective filtration solutions has never been greater. Enter Point-of-Use (POU) cartridges; a method of filtration and water treatment that plays a pivotal role in safeguarding water from harmful contaminants, right before use!
Understanding Point-of-Use Filtration
Point-of-Use filtration refers to the process of treating water at the specific location where it will be used, at the last stage before it reaches the outlet, this includes a tap, water coolers, drink dispensing machines, ice machines and drinking fountains to name a few. Unlike Point-of-Entry (POE) systems that treat water where it enters a building, POU filtration is more targeted, efficient and highly customisable to meet specific water quality needs.
POU filters are compact and will fit conveniently to various appliances and fixtures, making them a popular choice for residential and commercial applications alike.
How To Remove Sediment:
Sediment in a water supply refers to solid particles suspended in water, which can not only cloud a water’s appearance but also clog pipework and erode appliances over time. POU filter cartridges specifically designed for sediment removal employ advanced media, often made from polypropylene. As water flows through the cartridge, the filter media traps and retains sediment particles leaving water contaminant free as it flows out of the tap.

How To Reduce Chlorine, Taste & Odour:
Chlorine is commonly used to disinfect municipal water supplies, but its presence can result in unpleasant taste and odour. Specific POU filter cartridges are equipped with activated carbon and are highly effective in removing these issues. As water passes through a specialised cartridge, activated carbon uses its large surface area for chemical adsorption, capturing chlorine molecules as well as other volatile organic compounds that contribute to taste and odour.

How To Remove TDS:
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) can be any of a wide range of minerals, salts, metals and other substances that can be found in water. While not all TDS are harmful, excessively high levels can affect water’s taste and potentially have a detrimental effect on health. Various POU filter cartridges are equipped with specialised ion exchange technology or reverse osmosis membranes, capable of reducing TDS to safe levels.

Utilising POU filter cartridges can benefit your application in many ways including being cost effective, convenient, customisable and ultimately providing improved water quality. Whether in your home or workplace, investing in a POU filter cartridge can remove sediment, chlorine, taste and odour, and total dissolved solids effectively, leaving you with a contaminant-free water supply.
