While the quality of water sources varies considerably worldwide, quality expectations for residential drinking water do not. Homeowners demand water that tastes good and is safe for drinking, cooking, bathing and household uses.

Residential Applications

POINT OF ENTRY (POE)

Hard water (water that contains significant quantities of dissolved minerals like calcium and magnesium) can have many adverse effects in the home and end up costing more money in the long run. There is an effective way to address the problem of hard water in the home, however, through POE water softening systems that contain ion exchange resins.

 

POINT OF USE (POU)

The truth is tap water isn’t always as clean as it should be and may contain any number of different contaminants. Reverse osmosis (RO) is among the most effective technologies for removing PFCs, trace pharmaceuticals, and disease-causing bacteria and viruses from drinking water. These components are becoming essential to many POU home water treatment systems, including under-the-sink and countertop units.
