Filtrine Point of Entry Water Filtration Systems Explained

By using a multiple stage process, Filtrine’s point of entry (POE) purification system filters city water to serve clean lead-free water to multiple outlets. Ideal uses are for schools and other institutions where there is a concern that the water coming into the building is compromised in some way. For different flow rates, see the wide variety of Filtrine Point of Entry water filtration system models.

Point of Entry Purification Designed for City Water Entering Buildings

Lead, pathogens, chlorine, organic odors and particles down to 0.5 microns are removed and the purified water is dispensed to coffee makers, sinks, drinking fountains, bottle filling stations, toilets and more. The elements sit inside heavy-duty stainless steel housings that are rated at 150 psi working pressure.

Stage One: The point of entry two-stage process starts with pre-filtration using Filtrine’s Particulate Spun-Poly Filter. Particulate matter is removed, clarifying the water. (In the optional three-stage process, the filter cartridge also eliminates particulate shadowing in the UV sterilization chamber increasing the destruction rate of water borne pathogens.)

Stage Two: Next, Filtrine’s popular biodegradable Lead Miser Purifier improves water quality and the sterilization process by using activated 0.5 micron carbon block elements that meet the NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for removal of sediment, organic tastes/odors, and chlorine taste/odors. It also removes lead and pathogens including Cryptosporidium, Entamoeba Giardia and Toxoplasma to meet NSF/ANSI Standard 53.

Stage Three: The optional stage three Ultraviolet (UV) Water Sterilizer eliminates micro-organisms which can cause water borne diseases. No chemicals or toxic products are used and operation is low cost because the energy consumption is equal to ordinary fluorescent tubes. Standard plumbing connections and grounded electrical outlet make for an easy installation. The quartz sleeve and UV tubes can be cleaned or replaced in minutes for quick maintenance.
