POINT-OF-USE INFECTION CONTROL FILTERS
Protection at the Final Point
A targeted barrier against waterborne pathogens- right where water reaches the people you’re protecting.
POINT-OF-USE PROTECTION —
Even when risk exists within a building’s water system, point-of-use filtration can provide an additional barrier directly at faucets and showers.
THE LAST LINE OF DEFENSE IS AT THE TAP
0.2 µm
MEMBRANE FILTRATION
Absolute-rated 0.2-micron membrane designed to prevent waterborne bacteria from passing through the filter.
99.999%
Up to 6-log (99.999%) bacterial retention under specified validation conditions
BACTERIAL RETENTION
FAUCETS & SHOWERS
Can be applied directly at faucets and showers, two of the most common sources of exposure to building water.
TWO CRITICAL POINTS OF PROTECTION
Protect the Point-of-Use
When a water safety concern is identified, point-of-use filters can be deployed at selected outlets to provide an immediate physical barrier.
PROTECTION DOESNT WAIT FOR REMEDIATION
Address What's Behind it.
Point-of-use filtration doesn’t replace investigation or corrective action. IWM can continue working to identify and address the conditions within the water system itself.
INVESTIGATE — CORRECT — VERIFY
PROTECTING HIGH-RISK ENVIRONMENTS —
Not Every Exposure Carries the Same Risk
For people who are older, immunocompromised, or medically vulnerable, exposure to waterborne pathogens can carry greater consequences. Point-of-use filtration adds a physical barrier at the fixtures they rely on every day.
HEALTHCARE — SENIOR LIVING — HIGH-RISK CARE AREAS
25%
Legionnaires’ disease has an estimated mortality rate of 25% in healthcare facilities. For vulnerable patients, preventing exposure can make a critical difference.
