The first pillar involves deploying targeted treatment technologies where they are needed most.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>Hemodialysis:<\/strong>\u00a0This is the most water-critical application. A dedicated\u00a0<strong>dialysis water treatment system<\/strong>, a subset of the broader\u00a0<strong>hospital water treatment system<\/strong>, must comply with\u00a0<strong>AAMI\/ISO 23500<\/strong>.
