NURSERY HOMES, ELDERLY CARE & HOSPICE
Supporting Water Safety for High-Risk Environments and Vulnerable Populations
In nursing homes, elderly care facilities, and hospice environments, residents are often more vulnerable to waterborne bacteria due to age-related immunity decline and underlying health conditions. Pathogens such as Legionella pneumophila, NTM, E. coli, and Pseudomonas present elevated risks in these settings. Many of these facilities operate with aging plumbing infrastructure, low-flow zones, and shared hygiene fixtures, all of which can contribute to microbial growth and contamination.
Our Anti-Legionella filters, available in both Point-of-Use and Point-of-Entry formats, provide immediate, high-efficiency bacterial reduction at taps and showers. They deliver microbiologically safe water for residents and staff, supporting hygiene, regulatory compliance, and dignity in care.
With a 0.08 µm ultrafiltration pore size, our filters are:
-
Certified to NSF P376, ASSE 2011-2022, and ASTM F838-2015ae, achieving Log 8 (99.999999%) Legionella and fungi reduction.
-

TapTech Pro - Antibacterial Point-of-Use Faucet Filtration (POU)
Faucets are among the most critical exposure points in elderly care water systems, particularly in hygiene-sensitive areas such as resident rooms, bathing areas, medication stations, and shared restrooms. These outlets are susceptible to contamination from stagnant water, biofilm buildup, and splash-back, all of which can increase exposure to Legionella, E. coli, Salmonella, and other opportunistic waterborne bacteria. In care settings where residents may be immunocompromised, proactive point-of-use intervention is essential.
The TapTech Pro filtration system provides immediate, high-efficiency bacterial reduction directly at the faucet. It helps reduce microbial risks and supports safe water use for daily hygiene, caregiving tasks, and hygiene-critical routines in elderly care and hospice environments.

Antibacterial Filtration Solutions for Ice Machines
Ice machines in elderly care and hospice facilities operate under conditions that can promote microbial growth. Persistent moisture, organic residue, and inconsistent cleaning contribute to biofilm formation, particularly within internal components such as water lines, drip trays, and reservoirs.
Although ice is frozen, internal areas of the machines often remain warm between cycles or during low-use periods, allowing waterborne bacteria such as Legionella and NTM to persist. These conditions elevate the risk of contamination, especially in environments serving individuals with weakened immune systems.
Recognized in water safety protocols as high-risk utility equipment, ice machines in care settings require consistent oversight. Implementing targeted point-of-entry and point-of-use filtration is essential to help prevent microbial colonization, support safe ice production, and meet facility hygiene expectations.

Antibacterial Filtration Solutions for Coffee and Beverage Equipment
n elderly care and hospice environments, water quality is essential not only for taste and resident satisfaction but also for maintaining hygiene standards and ensuring the reliable operation of beverage equipment.
Coffee and beverage machines are routinely used in staff break rooms, resident dining areas, and family visitation spaces, making them an integral part of daily care and comfort services.
Suboptimal or contaminated water can impact taste, reduce equipment lifespan, and elevate the risk of exposure to waterborne bacteria in settings where hygiene is a priority. Providing consistently high-quality water helps support operational efficiency, resident well-being, and adherence to care facility expectations.

Antibacterial Water Protection for Resident Care Areas and Shared Sanitary Facilities
In elderly care and hospice environments, areas such as resident bathrooms, shared hygiene spaces, staff care stations, and utility rooms present elevated exposure risks to waterborne bacteria due to frequent water usage and close proximity to vulnerable individuals.
These high-priority zones require localized water safety strategies to help mitigate microbial risks, including Legionella, NTM, E. coli, Salmonella, and other opportunistic pathogens.
To support hygiene protocols and align with facility safety expectations, implementing Point-of-Entry (POE) filtration in these areas is essential. The TotalPure POE System delivers high-efficiency bacterial reduction at key water entry points, supporting consistent water quality throughout the facility.
Combining Point-of-Entry (POE) and Point-of-Use (POU) filtration creates a dual-layer water safety approach that enhances hygiene, helps reduce pathogen exposure, and supports a safer environment for both residents and staff.
The TotalPure Point-of-Entry (POE) System offers high-efficiency filtration at designated entry points to safeguard critical zones.
