Frequently Asked Questions -
Inline PureFlow® BLUE
1. What is the best inline water filter for Legionella prevention in healthcare facilities?
Inline PureFlow® BLUE is a professional point-of-use antibacterial inline water filter designed to reduce Legionella and other waterborne bacteria. Its 0.08 µm hollow-fiber ultrafiltration membrane achieves independently validated Log 10 (99.99999999%) bacterial reduction under ASTM F838-20 testing, making it suitable for healthcare and other high-risk water applications.
2. Can Inline PureFlow® BLUE protect against Legionella and nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM)?
Yes. Inline PureFlow® BLUE provides a physical filtration barrier designed to reduce Legionella, NTM, E. coli, Salmonella, and other waterborne bacteria at the point of use. Its 0.08 µm ultrafiltration membrane delivers Log 10 bacterial reduction validated under ASTM F838-20 testing protocols.
3. How long does the Inline PureFlow® BLUE antibacterial filter last?
Inline PureFlow® BLUE has a service capacity of up to 3,700 gallons (14,000 liters), depending on source water quality and operating conditions. Its integrated hollow-fiber membrane is designed to maintain effective bacterial filtration throughout its specified service life when used according to the manufacturer's instructions.
4. Where can Inline PureFlow® BLUE be installed?
Inline PureFlow® BLUE is designed for professional inline installation at point-of-use water outlets, including showers, sinks, dental equipment, ice machines, and drinking water systems. Its compact design and universal threaded connections allow integration into compatible plumbing installations in hospitals, senior living facilities, dental clinics, and commercial environments.
5. What is the difference between Inline PureFlow® BLUE, RED, and GREEN filters?
The Inline PureFlow® series provides three complementary filtration technologies. BLUE uses 0.08 µm ultrafiltration for Log 10 bacterial reduction, including Legionella protection. RED provides sediment prefiltration to remove particles and protect downstream filtration systems. GREEN uses granular activated carbon (GAC) to reduce chlorine, odors, and certain chemical contaminants, improving water quality and taste. Only BLUE provides the specified Log 10 antibacterial ultrafiltration performance.
