Household Water Systems: Tailoring Treatment Alternatives to Contaminants in Groundwater and Distribution Systems
Citation:
Patterson, C. Household Water Systems: Tailoring Treatment Alternatives to Contaminants in Groundwater and Distribution Systems. Presented at SSWR Webinar on Point of Use/Point of Entry, Cincinnati, OH, March 29, 2016.
Impact/Purpose:
This webinar presentation will highlight research case studies on household water treatment systems. EPA’s Office of Research and Development has been evaluating the performance of point-of-use/point-of-entry treatment systems designed for use in homes and small businesses for many years. The research studies were conducted at EPA’s Test and Evaluation Facility and at field locations.
Description:
This SSWR Webinar will provide an overview of ORD point-of-use/point-of entry research studies. The presentation will document the applicability of POU/POE devices and the regulatory requirements for household water systems under the Safe Drinking Water Act. The presentation will focus on the capabilities of kitchen sink membrane and carbon filters and their application to a wide variety of chemical and microbiological contaminants in well and tap waters.
