The high costs of bottled water and possible health risks due to harmful chemicals such as BPA (Bisphenol A) present in plastics, and many unfavorable environmental hazards, have facilitated to the popularity of point-of-use (POU) and point-of-entry (POE) water filtration systems. POU systems are installed at a single water connection such as kitchen sink faucet or bathroom sink faucet. These systems will filter water at the actual point where it is being used. POE systems on the other hand, are installed at the main water line where water enters the house. These systems are usually installed in front of the water heater to deliver pure hot and cold water throughout the house. The use of POU water purifiers has emerged as a good solution for people to have access to clean drinking water in their homes at minimal cost. Most of the water purification systems available in the market today require replacement of filter cartridges as opposed to replacement of the whole unit. With a wide spectrum of options available, it is imperative to choose the right home filter system for each individual homeowner. POU filters can be of various types such as under-sink, faucet mounted, pitcher filters, and others. This article provides a brief overview of the technical specifications and features of a home faucet filter.
