Press release submitted on behalf of Amway and Crystal IS.
Amway, an entrepreneur-led health and wellness company, today announced the launch of the New eSpring™ Water Purifier*, powered by innovative UV-C LED technology from Crystal IS. The launch marks the first complete eSpring product re-design in more than 20 years. eSpring is the world’s number-one selling brand of home water treatment systems.**
UV-C LEDs are an advanced, chemical-free way to effectively destroy microorganisms in water, such as bacteria, viruses and cysts.*** Amway scientists and engineers helped pioneer the use of UV-C LED technology for use in home water treatment. With its unique combination of UV-C LEDs and the eSpring e3 Carbon Filter, the New eSpring Water Purifier effectively destroys bacteria by up to 99.9999%; viruses by up to 99.99%; and cysts by up to 99.9%.*** In addition, it effectively reduces more than 170 contaminants, including 145 potential health-effect contaminants, micro-plastics, PFOA and PFOS, pharmaceuticals, 1,2,3-TCP, and more.***
The use of UV-C LEDs also makes the New eSpring Water Purifier a more sustainable product. UV-C LEDs are designed to last up to 10 years, so no annual UV lamp disposal is needed. The new unit also uses 25% less energy when actively in use compared to the previous model. And one e3 Carbon Filter treats up to 5,000L of water per year.† That’s equal to 10,000 500mL single-use plastic water bottles.
“Our health and wellness journey starts with clean water. For more than 20 years, Amway’s award-winning eSpring Water Purifier has given users cleaner, great-tasting drinking water right at home,” said Asha Gupta, Regional President, Asia and Chief Strategy & Corporate Development Officer. “Now we’ve taken things another step further by tapping our best and brightest scientists and engineers to leverage a new way of filtering water using UV-C LEDs. We’re excited to partner with our Amway Business Owners around the world to bring this technology to our customers.”
“We were excited to work with the Amway team on integrating our Klaran UV-C LEDs into their next generation of eSpring products,” said Eoin Connolly, President and CEO of Crystal IS. “Amway’s uncompromising commitment to innovation and performance has resulted in an outstanding product that captures and realizes the full technical and sustainable benefits of UV-C LEDs to improve life and living around the world.”
Amway is the first company to have a water treatment system with UV-C LED technology certified by NSF to NSF/ANSI Standard 55 for Class B microbial reduction. Amway also earned the Water Quality Association Gold Seal for superb consumer water treatment products.
Concurrent with the new eSpring product launch is the introduction of the new Amway™ Healthy Home App, enabling users to monitor their Amway devices, including the New eSpring Water Purifier. The new app offers product information, real-time updates, usage stats and filter change alerts, and enables users to order filters directly from the app.††
New Amway eSpring™ Water Purifier is now available in Hong Kong with additional markets launching in 2024.
