Are both the carbon block and UV light really necessary?
A. 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 do not think it is enough. That is why we have developed the dual-technology eSpring™ cartridge/filter/UV light. Its carbon block reduces simple compounds that affect taste and odour along with organic health-effect contaminants (such as pesticides and VOCs). Our carbon filter can also reduce inorganic contaminants (such as lead, mercury, and radon). The UV light destroys potential microorganisms. Back to Top Q.
