MICROPOROUS FILTER WITH AN ANTIMICROBIAL SOURCE

摘要

A fluid filtration device having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet and a confined fluid path between the inlet and the outlet through a microporous filter with a pore size adapted for filtering microbes, for example bacteria and virus. The device comprises an antimicrobial source, preferably halogen source, adding antimicrobial substance to the fluid in the confined fluid path between the fluid inlet end the microporous filter in order to prevent biofilm formation in the microporous filter.
