1. Point-of-Use (POU) Systems

Treat water at a specific tap (e.g., kitchen sink).

Provide clean water where installed, but do not treat water in the rest of the house.

More affordable than whole-house systems.

2. Point-of-Entry (POE) Systems

Treat all the water entering your home, ensuring safe water from every tap.

Typically more expensive than POU systems but provide whole-home protection.

Different Water Treatment Technologies

Not all filtration systems disinfect water. Here’s a breakdown of popular options:

UV Filtration: Uses ultraviolet light to kill bacteria and viruses.

Chlorination: Effectively disinfects but may produce chemical by-products.

Ozonation: Kills microorganisms without leaving a chemical residue.

Carbon Filters: Improve taste and remove chemicals but do not disinfect.

Water Softeners: Reduce hardness but do not remove bacteria or viruses.

Reverse Osmosis (RO): Removes many contaminants but does not disinfect.

Which System is Right for You?

Each treatment method has its pros and cons. To choose the best system for your needs, consider factors like contaminants in your water, budget, and the level of protection required. A water treatment professional can help guide you to the right choice.
