Pall Corporation’s QPoint tap water filter assembly, the latest addition to the company’s range of advanced point-of-use filters for protection against waterborne pathogens, offers ‘enhanced features, and improved performance’, and a longer capsule life – of up to two months.
With a fixed, chrome docking station, and exchangeable filter capsule, it ‘reduces waste and cost, 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 – all known to cause infections in immunocompromised and vulnerable individuals. QPoint offers ‘an immediate, protective barrier’ of double layer 0.2 micron sterilising grade filtration, without restriction on the volume of water used’.
