Ultrafiltration Membrane Water Purification

The Homespring Central Water Purifier is designed and manufactured by GE Water & Process Technologies, the world’s leading provider of ultrafiltration membrane systems.

This self-contained ultrafiltration system will distribute refreshing, crystal clear water to every tap in the home. In addition to great water, the Homespring can yield additional cost savings to the homeowner by eliminating the need for bottled water and the costs of maintaining kitchen-based water treatment systems.

Finally, homeowners can enjoy peace of mind with certified performance for removal of bacteria, parasites and viruses (please see certification and testing data for more information).

Ultrafiltration Membrane

The Homespring uses thousands of hollow fibre membrane strands. Each membrane strand contains billions of microscopic pores. Water pressure pushes water through these pores towards the hollow center of the membrane, while blocking out contaminants larger than 0.02 microns such as bacteria, parasites and viruses. Filtered water then flows through each fibre and is distributed to every household fixture. Unwanted particles and micro-organisms are flushed out during the automatic cleaning cycle.

Carbon Pre-Filtration

The Homespring Central Water Purifier Prefilter removes large particles from source water to protect and extend the life of the system. The filter can be used on municipal water sources to reduce unwanted tastes and odors associated with aesthetic chlorine. This Prefilter utilizes the surface area of small granules to bind and contain trace chemicals, keeping them from entering your water supply. One teaspoon of granular Activated Carbon has a surface area equivalent to that of a football field.
