Numerous households use point-of-use/point-of-entry (POU/POE) systems primarily to deal with aesthetic concerns, such as taste and odor. These treatment devices are installed just as their name implies—at the point where water enters a household or where it is used, such as a faucet. In certain situations, however, using POU/POE systems to provide safe drinking water to a system's customers is not an individual's choice, but that of the water system cooperating with regulatory authorities. Therefore, this “Tech Brief” only discusses POU/POE treatment options that meet Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) water quality requirements. Keywords: point-of-use; point-of-entry; filters; reverse osmosis; distillation; ion exchange; disinfection and oxidation; air stripping or aeration |
