Filtered Water Systems For Commercial & Healthcare Environments – Benefits, Options, And Design Considerations

Unobtrusive, hygienic and with the capacity to deliver chilled or boiling water safely and instantly, filtered water systems are ideal for specification in commercial and health care settings.

Beyond their efficiency and convenience, filtered drinking water systems also represent an environmentally sustainable option in such applications. Considering as the United Nations points out, on average in 2021 Australians purchased 504 litres of bottled water per person, the consumption of water from filtered water systems has the capacity to contribute significantly to reduction in plastic waste.

What then are the considerations for specifiers when incorporating filtered drinking water systems in commercial and health settings? And how can they ensure they end up with a system that is fit for purpose?

In this session of CPD Live, we address these questions and more. Beginning by outlining the above-mentioned benefits of filtered water systems, our speakers will go on to identify all the technical, aesthetic, and environmental considerations associated with their installation.

Outlining all relevant standards and regulatory requirements, they will explain the best ways to identify, install, and maintain filtered water systems in commercial and healthcare settings.
