Ultrafiltration

GE Homespring

The GE Homespring Whole House Water Purifier enables the homeowner to obtain safer, better tasting water from every tap in the entire house by filtering water at the point of entry. In addition to providing an effective barrier to bacteria, parasites and viruses, this self-contained water treatment system will distribute refreshing, crystal clear water to every tap in the home.

A GE Homespring Whole House Water Purifier 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.

How the GE Homespring Whole House Water Purifier works:

The GE Homespring Whole House Water Purifier physically blocks out contaminants like bacteria, parasites and viruses as the water enters your home. This shift towards ‘point of entry’ water filtration ensures that your entire home is supplied with cleaner, safer and better tasting water.

The GE Homespring Whole House Water Purifier consistently provides clean, filtered water for all of your cleaning, cooking, washing and drinking needs; while automatically flushing unwanted contaminants and particles down the drain.

Ultrafiltration Membrane

The GE Homespring Whole House Water Purifier uses thousands of ZENON’s ultrafiltration hollow fibre membrane strands. Each membrane strand contains billions of microscopic pores. Household water pressure pushes water molecules through these pores towards the hollow center of the membrane, while blocking out larger contaminants 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 then flushed out of the Homespring during the automatic cleaning cycle.

The Homespring effectively blocks and removes particles larger than 0.02 microns nominal from your water supply.

Carbon Filter

A carbon 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.

A stainless steel mesh filter can be used on water sources as a final guard for the Membrane Module against large particles. This reusable filter is used in installations where activated carbon is not required.

Highest Removal Performance

The UrSpring Ultrafilter removes bacteria, cyst and parasites from your water (see information on the backside for detailled info on removal perfor- mance) through a natural filtration process: Due to its Ultra-fine filter pores, of which not one is larger than any bacteria or parasite, such pathogens are removed from any water source without residuals or chemicals.

Removes turbidity and iron

No matter how much turbidity, rust or other particles are delivered into your home water system from either your municipal supply or your well: Your UrSpring system will remove all such particles completely, leaving clear and fresh drinking water. It also contributes significantly to a clean and hygienic in-house piping system.

Keeps E-Coli out of your drinking water

Every single Seccua UrSpring unit has been tested for full removal capabil- ity of E-Coli before it leaves our factory. Ground-breaking functions of the unit help to minimize filter damage during operation, so your Urspring maintains highest E-Coli reduction capability throughout its entire filter-life.

UV pre-treatment, better than ever

Not only does the UrSpring remove turbidity and reduce bacteria and parasites to a large degree, but due to its fully automated filter-cleaning it also offers the most effective pre-treatment to downstream disinfection technologies like UV or chlorination – at lower operating cost than conven- tional cartridge filtration.

Helps to reduce disinfection by-products

Disinfection by-products are created when disinfection chemicals react with organic matter in the water, such as virus, bacteria, parasites, but also dissolved organics like true color, typically made up from putrifying leaves, grass or wood. Seccua UrSpring removes all particulate organic matter and up to 10% of true color and therewith helps to reduce disinfection by- products effectively.

Easy to install, compact and efficient

Seccua UrSpring systems incorporate more power than any small-scale Ultrafiltration-system available: Up to twice the filter surface offer ultra-low required driving pressures, help to save energy and deliver more water for best-available comfort.

Go Green!

Without any additional equipment required, the system can be connected to solar power supplying 12 VDC. Its ultimate low power consumption of only 1,5 W during filtration gives it a superior advantage over desinfection technologies like UV, using often more than 97% less energy than small UV disinfection systems. Furthermore Seccua offers a unique recycling program for its filter elements, helping you to act more sustainable.
