Franke Hot & Cold Dispenser Faucet - TRADITIONAL Satin Nickel LB4280

Point-of-Use (POU) systems refer to faucets that produce water on an as-needed basis at the faucet, as opposed to whole house units which connect directly to the water main and treat everything that flows in from that pipe.

The benefit of a POU system versus a whole house system is that with a whole house system, the incoming water is treated and then stored in a tank. Eventually it passes throughout the house. It is possible for the water to gather microorganisms and impurities during the time of water storage and eventually to glass.

Generally, a POU faucet water purification unit is most likely to be found in the kitchen, but there is always use for one in the bathroom as well.

A hot water POU is the perfect answer for the fast paced, instant gratification world we live in. It defines convenience: hot beverages; pre-heating water for cooking, heating baby bottles or even thawing.
