Point of Use & Point of Entry
Puragen’s solutions ensure safe, great-tasting drinking water for point of use (POU) and point of entry (POE) systems through high-performance purification.
Providing safe, high-quality drinking water at POU and POE requires efficient contaminant removal to meet strict NSF standards like the WHO Drinking Water Guidelines, EU Drinking Water Directive and EPA MCLs for VOCs and disinfection byproducts.
Puragen supplies fine-grade granular and powdered activated carbons engineered specifically for the particle size and purity requirements of POU and POE filter formats. Our carbon engineering team works with manufacturers and system integrators to match the right carbon grade to each filter design and performance specification.
Contaminants we remove
Puragen’s POU/POE applications provides advanced filtration to effectively remove harmful contaminants, including persistent and emerging pollutants. Carbon selection is tailored to the specific contaminant profile and flow characteristics of each POU or POE system to ensure consistent, compliant performance.
Activated carbon products for POU and POE water
We provide a range of fine-grade granular carbons filtration media for drinking water applications. Our carbons are available in a variety of grades, including acid-washed variants for applications requiring extra purity, and micro-GAC grades suitable for incorporation into solid carbon block filters. Particle size, purity level, and adsorption capacity are all factors our team considers when recommending the right carbon for a given POU or POE format.
Granular Activated Carbon (GAC)
Fine grade, high-purity GAC products, including acid-washed variants if required for extra purity. For applications where water is passed through a bed of carbon in granular form, micro-GAC grades are incorporated into solid blocks of carbon, typically used in POU filters.
Micro-GAC can be incorporated into solid blocks of carbon, typically used in POU filters.
Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC)
Used in single-use batch processing, PAC effectively removes colorants, off-flavors and organic impurities from water. It provides rapid adsorption kinetics and is easily filtered out after treatment.
PAC is well suited for applications where periodic or seasonal contaminant loads require a flexible, dose-controlled treatment approach.
Relevant Industries
These industries commonly use Puragen’s POU & POE applications. Take a look at our other products and services for these industries. POU and POE filtration is a critical component of water quality management across residential, commercial, and light industrial settings where centralized treatment alone may not be sufficient.

Frequently Asked Questions
Point of use systems treat water at a specific outlet, such as a drinking tap or appliance, while point of entry systems treat all water entering a building or facility at the supply line. Both approaches use activated carbon filtration to remove contaminants, with carbon grade and system design selected based on the application and target contaminant profile.
Puragen’s POU and POE carbons are effective at removing chlorine, chloramine, taste and odor compounds, PFOS/PFOA, pharmaceuticals, dissolved VOCs, pesticides, herbicides, geosmin, and disinfection byproducts including trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids. Carbon selection is tailored to the specific contaminant profile and performance requirements of each system.
Puragen supplies fine-grade granular activated carbon (GAC), including acid-washed and micro-GAC variants, as well as powdered activated carbon (PAC) for batch processing applications. Micro-GAC grades are specifically suited for incorporation into solid carbon block filters commonly used in POU systems.
Puragen’s POU and POE solutions are designed to support compliance with standards including the WHO Drinking Water Guidelines, EU Drinking Water Directive, and EPA maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for VOCs and disinfection byproducts. Carbon type and system configuration are selected to meet the specific regulatory requirements applicable to each installation.
Puragen takes a long-term partnership approach that covers carbon engineering, analytics, fixed filter services, and integrated logistics across the full carbon lifecycle. This includes supply, carbon exchange, reactivation where applicable, and ongoing system support to ensure consistent filtration performance.
