Filtration

Water treatment dealers and their customers are exposed to a myriad of contaminants every day. Modern technology in the water treatment industry, such as reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and microfiltration units, can eliminate or minimize exposure to users.

Water treatment dealers must help end users stay on top of regulations and develop information for profitability and customer safety. Contaminants and filtration processes highlighted in this section address aesthetic (taste, odor, color, etc.) issues, system-operation nuisance concerns and health risks.

Technology in point-of-use and point-of-entry filtration systems is ever-changing and new and improved innovation is always on the horizon. Dealers and readers need to stay on top of these developments and the following articles and press releases can be integral to that education.
