Description
Combining fixed Docking Station and exchangeable Filter Capsule for up to 2 months use
The QPoint® Shower Water Filter Assembly with exchangeable QPoint Filter Capsule for up to 62 day (2 months) use, provides water filtered through a 0.2 µm sterilizing- grade membrane at the point-of-use as defined by ASTM, FDA and HIMA guidance 1-3.
The QPoint Filter Capsules have been validated according to ASTM F838-15a and demonstrate complete retention of Brevundimonas diminuta as per FDA requirements3.
In addition, the QPoint Filter Capsules have undergone multiple intermittent hot water cycles at 5 bar (75 psi), followed by testing according to ASTM F838-15a with complete retention of Brevundimonas diminuta as per FDA requirements3, thus meeting operating conditions as defined in HIMA2. Furthermore, field evaluation studies confirm performance under real life use conditions4.
The QPoint Filter Capsule retains bacteria, protozoa, fungi and particles. The high technology integrated prefiltration layer delivers exceptional particulate-trapping capacity with good flow rates, and protects the sterilizing-grade membranes enabling long performance life, i.e. 62 days.
A combination of technologies within the QPoint Filter Capsule helps to minimize the risk of retrograde contamination. However, these technologies do not replace local water testing and/or hygiene measures at the local environment.
The Docking Station will fit directly to all standard water outlets. The combination of the fixed Docking Station with the disposable QPoint Filter Capsule is compact, reduces waste, reduces costs and improves logistics for the user.

Systemic Chemical Disinfection QPoint Filter Capsules
A wide variety of systemic chemical treatments are used to mitigate microbial contamination within potable water supplies to hospitals, hotels, leisure centers, schools, apartment blocks and other building complexes. Such chemical treatments may be used in conjunction with Pall Point-of-Use Water Filters as part of the engineering solution.
Testing has been performed to support compatibility of Pall QPoint Filter Capsules (QR212, QR22) with a range of common systemic chemical treatments, including shock treatments completed during periods of critical water system contamination.
Shock treatment with 100 parts per million (ppm) active chlorine
Following exposure to 100 ppm active chlorine for 1 hour at 22 °C (72 °F), all QPoint Filter Capsules passed integrity test. No visual abnormalities were observed.
Continuous treatment with active chlorine for up to 62 days (2-10 ppm)
Following exposure to 2-10 ppm active chlorine for 62 days at 22 °C (72 °F), all QPoint Filter Capsules passed integrity test. No visual abnormalities were observed.
Continuous treatment with chlorine dioxide for up to 62 days (1 ppm) followed by shock treatment with 100 ppm chlorine dioxide
Following exposure to 1 ppm chlorine dioxide for 62 days at 22 °C (72 °F), followed by shock treatment with 100 ppm chlorine dioxide for 12 hours, all QPoint Filter Capsules passed integrity test. No visual abnormalities were observed.
Shock treatment with 100 ppm chlorine dioxide
Following exposure to 100 ppm chlorine dioxide for 12 hours at 22 °C (72 °F), all QPoint Filter Capsules passed integrity test. No visual abnormalities were observed.
Shock treatment with pH > 12
Following exposure to pH > 12 for 1 hour at 22 °C (72 °F), all QPoint Filter Capsules passed integrity test. No visual abnormalities were observed.
Shock treatment with peracetic acid (1000 ppm)
Following exposure to 1000 ppm peracetic acid for 2 hours at 60 °C (140 °F), all QPoint Filter Capsules passed integrity test. No visual abnormalities were observed.
Conclusion
Pall QPoint Filter Capsules maintain their filter integrity and are compatible with shock treatment of 100 ppm active chlorine for 1 hour, continuous active chlorine treatment with 2-10 ppm for 62 days, shock treatment with 100 ppm chlorine dioxide, continuous treatment with 1 ppm chlorine dioxide followed by shock treatment with 100 ppm chlorine dioxide for 12 hours, pH > 12 for one hour or 1000 ppm peracetic acid for 2 hours.
