Enhancing Water Quality with Point of Use Ultrafiltration Technology
At Newport Water, we believe that every home and business deserves access to clean, healthy, and great-tasting water. That’s why we’ve embraced Point of Use (POU) Ultrafiltration technology. This advanced system delivers high-quality water purification right where you need it—at the point of use—whether that’s your kitchen tap, office water system, or commercial facility. Our ultrafiltration technology works without the need for chemicals or energy, simply relying on water pressure to provide clean water for everyday consumption.
What is Point of Use Ultrafiltration?
POU Ultrafiltration is a highly efficient water purification method that removes harmful contaminants from water, such as bacteria, viruses, and sediment, while retaining essential minerals like calcium and magnesium, which are beneficial for health. Unlike traditional filtration methods, which can strip away these good minerals, ultrafiltration ensures that your water is not only safe but also enriched with naturally occurring elements that contribute to well-being.
We use zero-energy ultrafiltration systems that function purely on water pressure. This innovative approach reduces energy consumption and operational costs while delivering consistently high-quality water, making it an eco-friendly solution for residential and commercial clients alike.
Benefits of Point of Use Ultrafiltration Technology
Our POU ultrafiltration systems come with a variety of advantages that set them apart from other water purification methods like reverse osmosis and traditional filtration systems. Here’s how it can benefit you:
- Retains Healthy Minerals: Many filtration methods remove essential minerals from the water, but our ultrafiltration system preserves calcium, magnesium, and other beneficial elements, ensuring that your water not only tastes better but also supports your health.
- No Waste in the Treatment Process: Unlike reverse osmosis systems, which produce wastewater during purification, ultrafiltration ensures that every drop of water is purified and used, reducing water waste and making it an environmentally friendly option.
- Zero Energy Consumption: Newport Water’s ultrafiltration systems operate entirely on water pressure, meaning there’s no need for electricity or energy inputs. This makes it a sustainable solution that’s easy on both your wallet and the planet.
- Consistent Water Quality: Our systems ensure high-quality water output, no matter the quality of the incoming source. This means you can enjoy safe, clean water whether it’s sourced from a well, municipal supply, or other sources.
- Eco-Friendly: With no chemicals and minimal resource use, ultrafiltration is an environmentally responsible choice. Its reliance on natural pressure means lower carbon footprints, aligning with modern sustainability goals.
- Cost-Efficient: With no electricity required and no need for complex maintenance or chemicals, POU ultrafiltration significantly lowers the costs of water treatment for both households and businesses.
- Easy to Install and Maintain: These systems are compact and straightforward to install under sinks or in water lines, making them a hassle-free solution for providing purified water right at the source. Maintenance is simple, requiring only periodic filter changes.
Cons of Using UF (Ultrafiltration) Technology in POU Systems
- Retention of Hard Water Minerals:In areas with hard water, UF technology is less effective in removing dissolved minerals such as calcium and magnesium—the main components of limescale. As a result, these minerals remain in the filtered water, leading to the formation of limescale buildup in heated applications or appliances like kettles, coffee makers, and water heaters. This can result in higher maintenance costs and reduced efficiency for such appliances over time.
- Taste Impact:Because UF does not remove minerals, the taste profile of the water remains similar to that produced by Brita Pitchers rather than the cleaner, more neutral taste of Reverse Osmosis (RO) filtered water. For individuals who are used to purified bottled water or RO-filtered water, this can make the water taste “heavier” or less refined. Consequently, users accustomed to the taste of highly purified water might find the taste less appealing.
- Limited Contaminant Removal While UF is effective for removing bacteria, cysts, and some particulates, it does not remove dissolved salts, heavy metals, or chemical contaminants such as fluoride, nitrates, and arsenic, which are typically present in some municipal water supplies. For comprehensive purification, additional filtration stages like RO or Activated Carbon may be needed

Zero Energy: A Game-Changer in Water Purification
One of the standout features of Newport Water’s ultrafiltration technology is that it requires zero energy to operate. Some water purification systems often rely on electricity or external power sources, which can add up in terms of both costs and environmental impact. But with our ultrafiltration systems, the natural water pressure in your pipes does all the work. This means there are no ongoing energy costs, making it not only a smart environmental choice but also an economical one.
Furthermore, the absence of moving parts or complex machinery makes these systems exceptionally reliable, ensuring minimal downtime or maintenance issues. For businesses or homes where a constant supply of purified water is essential, the zero-energy POU ultrafiltration system is a seamless, worry-free solution.
