Environmental Benefits
1. The GE Homespring systems use no electricity or chemicals to purify water (97% energy efficient) 2. The 670 kWh* yearly energy savings from using a GE Homespring system instead of an Ultraviolet (UV) unit is equivalent to approximately three weeks of all power usage in an average home, with approximately 403 kg (890 lbs) of associated carbon dioxide emissions
3. When used to replace the use of 1 liter containers of bottled water, the GE Homespring not only significantly reduces the cost of water per liter, it also can reduce annual plastic disposal for a family of four by 54 kg (119 lbs.) and reduce annual Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 162 kg (357 lbs.). In a 500-worker factory or office, it can reduce annual plastic disposal by 9,250 kg (20,392 lbs.) and reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 27,750 kg (61,178 lbs.)

Operating Benefits:
1. The Homespring system provides an 8.7 percent lower cost per liter of water over an expected 10 year life span compared to UV disinfection technology 2. The GE Homespring systems, used for surface water treatment in Small Drinking Water Systems (18,900 liters per day) offers up to a 52 percent reduction in capital cost and a 36 percent reduction in operating cost compared to conventional technologies 3. Homespring UF technology is more reliable than UV water disinfection technology because Homespring can continue to function during power outages and its effectiveness does not depend on the water quality to be treated

Virtually Maintenance-Free and Durable Life Expectancy 1. The membrane modules have been designed to maximize filtration life and reduce frequent changing 2. For ease of use, the system is self-sustained to conduct daily self cleaning regime, hence only an annual service is required 3. The membrane will last over 10 years if used on municipal water 4. The membrane will last from 5 to 10 years on surface/lake waters depending on the level of contamination in the incoming water
