Water Filtration Systems
Point of Entry (POE) Water Filtration Systems:
- Controlling Sediment and Biofilm
- Many source waters and distribution networks contain varying levels of sediment going into buildings
- These levels often are subject to changes in seasons, civil construction and even fire hydrant use in the community. Many outbreaks have been correlated to construction.
- Sediments and biofilm throws in the network have the following effect:
- Sediment accumulation in buildings and piping leading to restricting flow over time
- Enhanced biofilm growth in building water systems
- Shortened life of water using equipment and stress/wear on pump impeller
- They can overcome residual disinfection levels
- Accumulations of sediment through distribution piping can make free chlorine levels vary as well as disinfection results at different distal sites.
- Sediment can shield microorganisms from disinfectants as well as exert a disinfectant demand, limiting the effectiveness of secondary disinfection.
- Sediment can reduce equipment life by 9 to 12%.
Self-Cleaning Point of Entry Water Filtration Systems:
- Intelligent Water Management
- Able to monitor incoming water variance with respect to sediment loading and track historical
- Ability to track in real time amount of sediment coming into the facility
- Lower Cost of Ownership
- Low maintenance- automatic protection for millions of dollars of equipment such as MRI, X-Ray, Boilers, Dialysis Water Treatment, Food Service Equipment and more.
- Little need for maintenance and consumable purchases, eliminating disposal labor.
- Green and Sustainable
- Less than 1% water waste. No consumables or waste media.
- Average of 50-75% less water wasted going to drain.
- No waste going to landfill or being added to medical waste disposal.
- Less Potential Biological Growth
- Filtration media is non porous and the sediment is vacuumed frequently before major accumulation.
- No media to get infected or have to sanitize and change out.
- Does not absorb disinfectant like anthracite layers or zeolites.
- No significant build up of nutrients or the potential to incubate biofilm.
- No large build up of nutrients or biofilm in the piping or equipment in the facility.
- Fewer Emergency Issues
- Less pressure drop than other filtration, dependable high strength construction and no concerns with channeling or filter collapse/breaching.
- No concerns with channeling in low flow.
- Avoiding emergency pressure drops and excessive differential pressures.
- Avoiding reduced pressures in the facility, channeling, catastrophic pump failures or deadheading throughout the facility and equipment.
