Legionella Pathogens And Hospital Water Filtration

In order to combat Legionella, many hospitals have installed water filters on sinks and showers.  The majority of these filters are 0.2 micron and need to be changed every 14-30 days, depending on the filter type.  The costs for these  filters and the labor to change them have added significant expense.

The Nephros DSU and SSU  are ultrafilters; at 0.005 microns, they are a major improvement over the 0.2 micron filters. The single-stage ultrafilter (SSU) for sinks, will last at least 2 months (VS 14 days).  The dual-stage ultrafilter (DSU) for showers, will last at least 3 months (VS  30 days).

Since both filters last longer, fewer changes per year will reduce the labor costs.   Installation Videos and specifications are available on our website.
