The eSpring Water Purifier is truly the first of its kind in many respects:

- The first company to develop in-home system's that combine a patented carbon-block filter with ultraviolet light and an electronic monitoring system
the only system verified to effectively remove lead, THMs and more than 140 contaminants
- The first company in the world to have a carbon/UV system that meets NSF International Standards 42, 53 and 55 - three internationally recognized water quality standards certified by NSF International for the reduction of more contaminants than any other UV carbon based system
- The first system to use wireless inductive coupling technology to increase safety and reliability

TRUE INNOVATION
The eSpring™ Water Purifier destroys microorganisms with ultraviolet light technology. It also effectively reduces more than 140 other possible health-effect contaminants by trapping them in its patented carbon block filter. No other in-home system does both.

Our team of scientists and engineers, who are experts in water quality technology (and holders of more than 400 durable product patents granted or pending), have been researching water treatment systems since 1984. It is their dedication to research and their commitment to quality that brought the eSpring Water Purifier to reality.

Note: The eSpring Water Purifier is designed for use on potable drinking water supplies.

Ultra-violet Light Technology
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, puts out up to 80 millijoules (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 an electro-magnetic connection to the bulb that switches the bulb on. Because the bulb is not on all the time, it does not waste energy, and the water always flows cold.

System is durable
Eliminating hard-wired electrical connections makes it simple to replace the bulb, and it is protected, which makes the system more durable.

Carbon Filter Technology
Inside the eSpring™ Water Purifier is an activated pressed carbon-block filter. This patented multi-stage carbon block effectively reduces:

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.

Carbon attracts carbon
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, even without the UV light.

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
- Uses patented technology
- Good nutrients pass through
- While most health-effect contaminants have a carbon base, many beneficial minerals like calcium, magnesium and tooth-decay-fighting fluoride do not. That means they do not form a bond with the carbon filter; they simply pass through it and out into the water.

Monitor Technology
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 UV lamp and/or filter/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.

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 filter/cartridge needs to be replaced.

The eSpring Water Purifier - the first in-home system certified to meet three separate international standards for water quality.
- ANSI/NSF Standard 42: Improves taste, odour and clarity
- ANSI/NSF Standard 53: Effectively reduces possible health-effect contaminants including lead, mercury, VOCs, disinfection by-products like THMs, and the gasoline additive MTBE
- ANSI/NSF Standard 55: Controls microorganisms with UV light
The quality of drinking water is a public health issue; NSF International is the leading third party certifying organization dedicated to the protection of public health.
