Point-of-use (POU) water disinfection is not merely a public health measure — it can be an engineering solution integral to modern water system design, aimed at reducing the prevalence of waterborne diseases.
POU disinfection systems ensure the safety of potable water right where it is used, whether that be at a hand pump, shower or a kitchen sink. In the face of sobering statistics and advisories from authorities like the CDC and insights from the Gates Foundation, a global non-profit that works to help all people lead healthy, productive lives, POU disinfection systems provide realistic solutions to the significant health risks associated with contaminated water sources worldwide.
