ESPRING UV Light Water Replacement Cartridge with Pre-Filter #100186 – Compatible Replacement for Clean Drinking Water at Home

While carbon filtration – used with varying degrees of effectiveness in many water treatment options, like pitchers and faucet-mount filters – is the most effective single treatment method available to most homeowners, we don't think it's enough. That's why developed the dual-technology eSpring replacement cartridge. Its carbon block reduces simple compounds that affect taste and odor along with organic health-effect contaminants (such as pesticides and VOCs). Сarbon filter can also reduce inorganic contaminants (such as lead, mercury, and radon). The UV light provides the added benefit of UV treatment of the filtered water. Carbon molecules tend to attract other carbon molecules. Most health-effect contaminants – pesticides and their byproducts, VOCs, and THMs, for example – contain carbon molecules. The eSpring carbon-block filter is "activated" carbon, processed to create pores in the carbon that increase its surface area. This increased surface area increases the ability of our filter to attract and "trap" carbon-based contaminants as water passes through the block. Since the surface area of the pores is limited, the carbon filter has a limited trapping capacity. That's why the filter must be replaced every year.
