​The Water Quality Research Foundation (WQRF) provides an opportunity for the industry to collectively fund robust research projects and give access of the research back to the WQA members. Research has proven that it is imperative for the industry to gain acceptance as a means for compliance and preparation for future challenges and opportunities. Researchers on WQRF-funded projects become advocates for the solutions the POU/POE industry can provide and broaden the industry’s influence with stakeholders.
