When you enter the kitchen, it is highly likely that you will come across a point-of-use water filter. These filters can be installed under the sink, attached to the faucet, placed in the water pitcher inside the refrigerator, or even found in a sports bottle on the countertop. As the public becomes more aware of the importance of water safety, the demand for point-of-use water filtration devices has increased. This has resulted in a competitive market where manufacturers are offering a wide range of options for consumers to choose from. In this competitive landscape, it is crucial for manufacturers to differentiate themselves through innovative features that not only ensure the safety of drinking water but also enhance filtration speed, taste, and filter lifespan.

These filters can remove and/or dramatically reduce a vast array of health-threatening contaminants from questionable sources of water, including remote lakes and streams, stagnant ponds, and water supplies in foreign countries where regulations may be sub-standard at best. The filter is impregnated with proprietary “absorbing” media that promotes IONIC “absorption” of pollutants within the micro-porous element, such as aluminum, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, and other dangerous heavy metals.
