Inside the eSpring Water Treatment System is an activated pressed carbon block filter. This patented multi-stage carbon block effectively removes:
- Chlorine taste and odour
- Particulates, thus improving clarity
- More than 140 possible health-effect contaminants, including lead, mercury, VOCs, disinfection by-products like THMs, and the petrol 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 and 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 carbon 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 than eSpring.
To increase the sediment removal surface by four times more, a polypropylene prefilter is added to the system. No additional space is required to accommodate the prefilter as it comes with the UV-carbon cartridge. It is used to remove particles down to 1 micron size.

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 or up to one year, whichever comes first.
- uses patented technology unique to eSpring.

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.

Back in 1919, UV technology is recognised as an effective way to treat water without adding chemicals. Ultraviolet (UV) light technology takes the eSpring™ Water Treatment System to the next level in in-home water purifiers by doing what carbon alone cannot do: it destroys microorganisms.
|
|
|
How it works
The eSpring Water Treatment System’s UV lamp, located in the centre 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 found in drinking water.

|
|
|
Water always flows cool
The tap water being diverted to the unit will activate a sensor to turn on the lamp instantly and automatically. Because the lamp is not on all the time, it does not waste energy or heat up the standing water; water always flows cool or at tap temperature. Isolating the UV lamp from the power source also provides greater safety and reliability.
|
|
System is durable
Eliminating hard-wired electrical connections between the unit and the cartridge makes replacing the cartridge simple and protects the system, making it more durable.
|
|
|
|
|
With the electronic monitoring system, you never have to worry about changing filters too soon or too late, and the system is so advanced, it automatically “reads” the life of any cartridge inserted, whether that cartridge is new, half-used, or completed use. This eliminates the guesswork when it comes to determining the life of the cartridge. Again, it will also alert you if there is any problem.
|
|
For the electronic monitoring system to track accurately, the power supply to the eSpring unit must be turned on at all times. It consumes very little electricity when it is on stand by mode.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Normal operation
When the system is filtering the water, you can see the water drops moving. |
| |
| Cartridge left with 10% life
You will hear a beep when you first turn to treated water setting. This indicates that the cartridge is left with 10% life and is due for replacement. |
| |
| Cartridge due for replacement
You will see the filter icon flashing blue and "Replace Cartridge" is red, When you're in treated water setting, you will hear a beeping sound every 2 seconds. |
