As the importance of clean and safe water becomes increasingly evident, many consumers are seeking out ways to purify their drinking water. While point-of-use (PoU) systems have long been a popular choice for purifying tap water, some experts believe that we are on the cusp of a new era of hybrid PoU systems that combine multiple purification technologies.

Historically, water purification systems utilizing different technologies were sold separately. However, as consumers demand even purer water, manufacturers are looking to combine these technologies to create more effective systems. One example of this is the combination of UV light with visible light on the tip of many systems, which glows when water comes out. This visual cue not only serves to reassure users that the water is being purified but also helps to verify the technical effectiveness of the system.

One such hybrid PoU system is the Firewall® UVC purification system from Waterlogic. The patented technology offers instantaneous water purification, ensuring that it is effectively free of harmful bacteria. Unlike other mains-fed dispensers, the Firewall technology purifies water all the way through to the dispensing nozzle and acts as a barrier, preventing bacteria and viruses from getting into the system. The technology is designed for fast and comprehensive purification on demand, and it exposes the water to UVC radiation for longer than conventional UV solutions, ensuring the world’s highest standard of purification.

Waterlogic offers a range of water dispensers that are equipped with Firewall technology, making it easy for consumers to enjoy safe and clean drinking water wherever they go. With the emergence of hybrid PoU systems, we can expect to see even more innovative technologies being developed to meet the growing demand for purer and safer drinking water. As consumers continue to prioritize health and wellness, the water purification industry is sure to keep evolving to meet their needs.
