Filter Cartridge (cont.):
Q. How long is the Filter Cartridge UV Lamp ON when system is plugged into power and
treated water is flowing from eSpring Faucet?
A. The UV Lamp is ON whenever treated water is flowing or for at least 30 seconds. If treated
water is flowing for less than 15 seconds and then shut off, the UV Lamp is ON for the
remaining 30 seconds. The UV Lamp shuts off after 30 seconds, unless treated water is ON for
longer than 30 seconds. If treated water is flowing for more than 30 seconds, the UV Lamp
remains ON for the duration of treated water flowing, plus an additional 5 seconds.
Q. If used Filter Cartridge is moved and installed in a different System from the original,
does the System know this is a used Filter Cartridge?
A. The eSpring Water Purifier smart chip technology allows for communication between the
Filter Cartridge and Electronic Module to track and display usage status for current Filter
Cartridge.
Q. What are the stages and flow pattern of the eSpring Filter Cartridge?
A. The Filter Cartridge is made up of three stages with a UV lamp, as the next treatment step.
The three stages of the Filter Cartridge are as follows:
Stage 1 - An outer scrim coarse pre-filter of about 100 microns
Stage 2 - An inner layer pre-filter fine of about 5 microns
Stage 3 - An activated carbon block 1-inch bed depth for removal of organics and particles as
small as 0.2 microns.
Flow Pattern: The water flows through the carbon and then past the UV light before exiting to
the eSpring above or Below Counter Faucet. Water passes through the Filter Cartridge first to
remove any sediment or suspended solids that may limit transmission of the UV light through
the water. The water flows through the carbon portion of the Filter Cartridge filter and is
directed down the stainless steel baffle to direct the water to flow past the UV light. The
stainless steel baffle prevents the UV light from hitting the carbon filter. The UV light is at a
wavelength that destroys the DNA of bacteria and viruses so that they can not reproduce and
are not infectious.
Q. What is the Filter Cartridge proper disposal since UV Lamp contains mercury?
A. Disposal of the Filter Cartridge/UV Lamp may be handled same way as fluorescent bulbs.
Contact local landfill for recommended proper disposal of mercury.
Q. If used Filter Cartridge is moved and installed in a different System from the original
System, does the System know this is a used Filter Cartridge?
A. The eSpring Water Purifier smart chip technology allows for communication between the
Filter Cartridge and Electronic Module to track and display usage status for current Filter
Cartridge.
