Where patients are able to use dialysing equipment at home, individual single-patient systems are installed. The water quality is just as important as with the central plant without the need for endotoxin removal from the loop.

There is ongoing discussion about the appropriate stages of filtration used in these systems as differing water qualities and elements are present in each. Some will use a depth or surface cartridge for sediment removal then a chlorine treatment cartridge, others use chloramine cartridges if chloramine is present and others will use Fibredyne cartridges to cover both sediment and chlorine removal. Combinations of all of these options are used and we recommend the use of each technology depending on the water quality.

Stages of Filtration & Water Treatment

Hardness Removal

Prevents scale build up on tanks, pipework and equipment

Hardness Removal - Fileder Filter Systems

SPECTRUM SoftH-FLO Water Softener

Typically used

WTE-SOFT13

Particle Removal

Prevents debris, scale flakes, dirt and particle build up in pipework, tanks, equipment and where present, premature blinding of filtration stages further along the cascade.

Particle Removal - Fileder Filter Systems

SPECTRUM Pleat²

Typically used

SPE-5-93/4

Chlorine and Organics Removal

Helps the taste and odour of the liquid and where present, protects RO membranes from chemical attack.

Pentair Fibredyne CFB-Plus Carbon Block Cartridge

Typically used

CFB-PLUS10

SPECTRUM 10″ / 20″ Economic Filter Housing Systems

Typically used

EFHS-PK-3-10-3/4

Chloramine Removal

Some utility companies use chloramine in place of chlorine as it lasts longer in the pipework, removing chloramine requires highly developed carbon technology.

SPECTRUM 870 Premier Carbon Block Cartridge

Typically used

PCB-1-93/4

Ion and Salts Removal

Very pure water is produced using reverse osmosis membranes to separate the majority of salts and ions from the feed water and sending the salts and ions to waste or re-circulation.
