Description:

This study was conducted to determine whether point-of-use (POU) reverse osmosis (RO) units could satisfactorily function in lieu of central treatment to remove arsenic and fluoride from the drinking water supply of San Ysidro, NM. POU treatment was evaluated for removal efficiency, cost, and management effectiveness. Seventy-eight under-the-sink model RO units were installed in private homes, and 72 were monitored for about 18 months to evaluate operational and maintenance data for POU treatment.
