* eSpring ‘s carbon block technology is the only system on the market to have independent supporting documentation for the effective removal of more than 140 potential health-effect contaminants. These contaminants are mainly organic, contain carbon but also include a few inorganic As a general rule, carbon is very effective at reducing organic contaminants but not inorganic compounds like hardness but there are a few exceptions. * The carbon block is a patented multi-stage filter that traps particulates 0.2 microns in size which is greater than 300 times smaller than a human hair Improves taste, odor, clarity of water (the things you see, smell, and taste) reduces organic chemicals - disinfection by products (the hidden colorless, odorless contaminants) reduces inorganic compounds like radon, lead, mercury, and asbestos * How does can the filter perform so well? The filter is made from a special activated (special process where pores are created within the carbon) The process used determines the proportion of small (micro) and large (macro) pores that are created. The contaminant is attracted to and held (adsorbed) on the surface of the carbon particles due to the physical properties of the contaminant Carbon filter contains carbon surface area of 446,000 (446 thousand) square metres The greater the carbon surface area, the more contaminants that can be adsorbed or trapped into the carbon pores * The carbon block filter is combined with UV light into one cartridge UV light technology does what carbon alone cannot do. 80 millijoules of “zap power” It destroys microorganisms, 99.99% of waterborne disease-causing bacteria and viruses cysts Destroys 99.9% cysts Uses State-of-the-art electronics which means the UV lamp is only on when treated water is flowing. * Third technology is electronic monitor carbon filtration + UV + electronic monitor eSpring makes use of technology which monitors your system performance with a visual indication of system per
