Pall Corporation’s QPoint Tap Water Filter Assembly, the latest addition to the company’s advanced point-ofuse filter range for protection against waterborne pathogens, offers ‘enhanced features, improved performance, and a longer capsule life of up to two months’.
With a fixed, chrome docking station, and exchangeable filter capsule, the filter assembly reportedly reduces waste and costs while simplifying installation and exchange. The filter capsule is designed and validated for retention of a broad spectrum of waterborne pathogens frequently found in drinking water, such as Legionella spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, nontuberculous mycobacteria, Escherichia coli, Aspergillus fumigatus, and Cryptosporidium parvum. QPoint offers ‘an immediate, protective barrier of double layer 0.2 micron sterilising grade filtration, without restriction on the volume of water used’, with the high technology pre-filtration membrane maintaining good flow rates despite variable water qualities. Retrograde contamination control is enhanced via a ‘proven non-leaching bacteriostatic additive’ moulded within the housing, and an inner protective shield against backsplash.
