This expert water safety article looks at the role of point-of-use water filters, and asks if they can be used to control the health risks from legionella and other waterborne pathogens that can contaminate engineered water systems.
The article considers how these specialist water filters work to protect people from legionella and other waterborne pathogens, and where and under what circumstances they should be used.
Can point-of-use water filters control legionella risk?
You might already suspect the answer to that question is yes, but let’s take a more detailed look. The bigger question to answer is how these filters can help maintain water safety standards, and why you might consider installing point-of-use (POU) water filters in a specific building.
We’ll explain more about these high performance water filters here, so you can better understand their role, the scenarios that might call for them, and how they complement rather than replace other water safety control measures.
