What are “point-of-use” and “point-of-entry” water quality improvement equipment and how does it differ from bottled water?
Point-of-use (POU) water quality improvement equipment is used to solve a specific problem at the exact location or point where a higher quality drinking water is desired. Drinking water at the kitchen sink or wet bar are examples. POU equipment includes various types of filtration and distillation devices. Point-of-entry (POE) equipment is generally located outside the home or business, and treated water is delivered to all inside taps. Examples are water softeners, iron filters and other types of equipment that are suitable for such utility purposes as laundry, dishes, cleaning and personal needs.
