Introduction to the FreshPoint™ Ultrafiltration System
The FreshPoint™ ultrafiltration system is an advanced Point of Entry (POE) water treatment device designed to
improve the water quality in the entire home. It uses ultrafiltration membrane technology to provide a physical barrier
to particles, large dissolved molecules, most colloids, and microbes down to 0.025 um in size. The FreshPoint™ is not
designed to removed ions or other elemental forms such as hardness and heavy metals, or small organic molecules
such as pesticides.
The FreshPoint™ should only be installed by a qualified professional. The installation must comply with all local codes
