Point-of-Use Filtration

What Is a Point-of-Use Filter?

A point of use filter is a specialized filtration device installed directly at a water outlet, such as a faucet, showerhead, or equipment connection. These filters use membrane technology to physically block waterborne pathogens, including Legionella, from reaching patients, residents, and staff. Unlike chemical disinfection, point of use filters provide an immediate physical barrier at the tap.

Point of use filters are a critical tool for emergency response during Legionella case investigations and as an ongoing protective measure in high-risk areas of healthcare facilities.

Emergency Response and Case Investigations

When a facility receives a positive Legionella result or is managing a case investigation, point of use filters can be deployed immediately to protect occupants while the source of contamination is identified and corrected.

Watertech of America stocks point of use filters for Legionella case investigations and can deliver them next day. When your facility is in the middle of a response and needs filters on-site fast, we are ready.

Applications

Point of use filters can be installed on a range of water outlets and equipment throughout your facility, including:

• Sinks:Patient rooms, handwashing stations, and kitchen areas
• Showers:Patient and resident showers in hospitals, long-term care, and assisted living facilities
• Ice machines:A commonly overlooked source of waterborne pathogen exposure
• Medical equipment:Any water-connected device where pathogen-free water is required

Filter Duration Options

Not every application requires the same replacement schedule. Watertech offers point of use filters in multiple duration options to match your facility’s needs and budget:

• 1-month filters
• 2-month filters
• 3-month filters
• 6-month filters

Our team can help you determine the right replacement cycle based on your facility’s water quality, usage volume, and risk level.

Why Stock Point of Use Filters?

Having filters available when you need them is the difference between a quick response and a prolonged exposure risk. Watertech keeps inventory on hand so your facility does not have to wait for a manufacturer to ship. For facilities that want to maintain their own emergency supply, we can set up a stocking program tailored to your building.
