What does the
Homespring Central Water Filtration System do?
The Homespring Central Water Filtration System has been specifically
designed to physically block and remove parasites, turbidity and particulates.
The Homespring also eliminates cloudiness from your drinking water,
while allowing for healthy natural minerals pass though
(please see certification and testing data for more information).
The activated carbon filter reduces chlorine taste and odor to improve taste
and odors of municipal drinking water. The system effectively
filters all municipal and well water prior at the point-of-entry,
filtering your water before it flows through the rest of your
home.

System?
Once the Homespring Central Water Filtration System is installed,
the system is working. There is no start or stop switch. If your
main water valve is open, the Inlet and Outlet valves are open,
and the Bypass valve is closed, the system is on. It makes no
noise and you will see no moving parts while it is filtering water.

Does the system require electricity?

is required to filter your water. You will have filtered water
through every tap even during a power failure. Electricity is
only required to activate the controller to activate the daily
backwash cycle.

What happens if the power goes out?
Nothing. The timer has a built in battery backup designed for
power failure. The Homespring Central Water Filtration System
does not require power to filter water. If the power goes out
during a scheduled cleaning, the System will return to filtering
water and wait for the next scheduled time for cleaning.

Can it be shut down in winter?
If the home is seasonal or not winterized, there is a draining and shutdown
procedure where the filter is filled with a food grade antifreeze
for the winter. In the spring, the antifreeze is drained
and the system is sanitized and ready for use. The procedure must be performed by an authorized person.
