Potable water systems are often contaminated with particulate matter and microorganisms. The Pall point-of-use (POU) water filter is designed to offer immediate, validated protection for passengers and crew against waterborne pathogens.

Features

• Sterilizing grade membrane provides protection from waterborne micro-organisms
• Bacteriostatic additive to reduce retrograde contamination
• Vented housing for pressurized aircraft systems 
• Fully recyclable materials 
• Maximum lifetime - meets aircraft maintenance schedules 

Benefits

• Provides instantaneous protection
• Reduces the risk of waterborne infection
• Cost-Effective
• Qualified to international aerospace standards
• Suitable for pressurized water systems (built-in air venting)
• Design based on technology widely used in hospitals
• Environmentally friendly

How Does it Work?

The double layer 0.2 μm membrane protects against waterborne particulate and microbial contamination, including pathogens such as Legionella spp., Pseudomonas spp. and Cryptosporidium parvum. To minimize the risk of inadvertent cross-contamination and retrograde contamination, the filter housing material utilizes silver technology as an enhanced, non-leaching bacteriostatic additive.

Pall POU filters are compatible with systemic treatments like continuous heating (at 60 °C), heat and flush procedures (at 70 °C), and chlorine dioxide disinfection.
