Inside the eSpring Water Purifier is an activated pressed carbon-block filter. This patented multi-stage carbon block effectively removes:

• Chlorine taste and odour
• Particulates, improving clarity
• More than 140 possible health-effect contaminants, including lead, mercury, VOCs, disinfection by-products like THMs, and the gasoline additive MTBE.

How it works

Carbon filtration has long been the technology of choice for home water treatment systems, but our patented eSpring carbon filter does much more.

Most health-related contaminants (pesticides and their by-products, VOCs, THMs) contain carbon molecules, and carbon molecules tend to bond together. So contaminants in tap water will tend to bond with the carbon block filter.

Activation increases the carbon surface

We “activate” the carbon through a special heat process that creates thousands of pores. This increases the surface area available to attract contaminants. The carbon is then pressed together to create a fixed carbon block. This increased surface area increases the ability of our filter to attract and “trap” carbon-based contaminants as water passes through the block. Various other organic contaminants also tend to adhere to the porous surface, so the carbon-block filter acts as a magnet for contaminants. No other in-home system reduces more possible health-effect contaminants.

Our patented carbon block filter:

• Traps particulates 300% smaller than the diameter of a human hair.
• Will treat up to 5,000 litres (1,320 gallons) of water in one year – enough for the average family of six.
• Seven patents granted and several pending.

Good nutrients pass through

While most health-effect contaminants are carbon based, many beneficial minerals like calcium, magnesium and tooth-decay-fighting fluoride are not. That means they do not form a bond with the carbon filter; they simply pass through it and remain in the water.

Ultra-violet (UV) light technology takes the eSpring™ Water Purifier to the next level of in-home water purifiers by doing what carbon alone cannot do: It destroys microorganisms.

How it works

The eSpring Water Purifier’s UV bulb, located in the center of the cartridge, delivers up to 80 millijoules/cm2 (units of measure) of UV light – enough to destroy more than 99.99% of bacteria and viruses that may be in drinking water.

Wireless connections

Another eSpring technology first – and another patented feature – is the wireless (inductive electronic) coupling used between the UV lamp and the unit. This completely isolates the UV bulb from the power source, the way some cellular telephones are separate from their chargers.

Water always flows cold

Turning on the tap activates a sensor that turns the bulb on instantly. Because the bulb is not on all the time, it does not waste energy or heat the standing water, so water always flows cold.

System is durable

Eliminating hard-wired electrical connections makes replacing the cartridge simple and protects the system, making it more durable.

Smart chip technology

“Smart chips” in the eSpring monitor keep track of the UV lamp and filter life, and an LED display lets you know when the cartridge needs to be replaced.

The eSpring™ electronic monitoring system is another of the advanced features that differentiates the system from all others.

It alerts you if there is any problem, if the UV bulb stops working, for example.

It tells you when to replace the cartridge so you always know your water is receiving the full benefit of the eSpring Water Purifier.

It is convenient because it keeps track of these things on its own. It gives you both an audio and visual indication when it is time for a replacement, so you do not have to remember to do it yourself. The monitor resets automatically when a new cartridge is installed. It is so advanced, it automatically “reads” the life of any cartridge inserted, whether that cartridge is new, half-used, or completely used.
