Water filtration systems remove potentially-harmful contaminants from drinking water, including bacteria, chemicals, and heavy metals. Many people also like the taste of purified water better. Employers interested in providing these benefits for the health of their staff should consider a point-of-use filtration system, described more below.

Why You Should Use Point-of-Use Filtration Systems 

1. Affordable

Point-of-entry filters treat water where the water line comes into your building. However, this isn’t always efficient since it filters all water, including what goes into the boiler or fills the toilets.

Point-of-use water systems, on the other hand, attach directly to the water source. If you are looking to improve the quality of the water coming from the break room faucet, you only need to purchase a single unit. As a result, they cost less.

Although filter cartridges should be replaced every three to six months, they are also inexpensive.

2. Easy to Install

Point-of-use filters can be installed quickly without using too many tools. The installation process also doesn’t require any structural alterations, as the system can be attached directly to the appliance and stored nearby—for example, in a cupboard under the desired sink.

Point-of-entry water filtration systems may not be an option in a multi-story office building where the water lines are all connected, making point-of-use systems convenient. They are also a useful option for smaller offices, as they are small enough to fit into more compact spaces. 

3. Effective

While options such as refrigerator and water pitcher filters do exist, point-of-use filters are better at eliminating bacteria as well as chemical tastes and odors from the water. This is because the water goes through a pre-filter, a membrane, and an activated carbon filter before making it to your faucet.
