Amway Selects Crystal IS for New eSpring™ Water Treatment System
Crystal IS, an Asahi Kasei company, today announced that Amway, an entrepreneur-led health and wellbeing company, selected Crystal IS to treat and disinfect water in its new eSpring™ Water Treatment System. Crystal IS’s line of Klaran UVC LEDs offers point-of-use disinfection that ensures reliable purification without affecting temperature, taste, or smell of the water.
Tap water quality varies by country and state, and even though public water systems have filtration protocols in place, there is still a risk of harmful chemicals, pesticides, bacteria, and other particles that might contaminate the water. Klaran UVC LEDs provide ultraviolet (UV) light in the ideal germicidal wavelength range from 260 nm – 270 nm to ensure consistent, reliable inactivation of viruses and bacteria.
“At Amway, we are committed to providing solutions that enhance the overall health and wellbeing of our customers,” said Andrew Schmidt, Managing Director of Amway North America. “For our new eSpring Water Treatment System, that meant offering clean, great-tasting drinking water, made possible with Crystal IS’s leading UVC LED technology. Not only are UVC LEDs effective at reducing microbes in water, but they help increase consumer confidence by remaining true to our dedication to quality and sustainability.”
Crystal IS’s UVC LED technology offers numerous advantages over more traditional water purification methods. By harnessing the power of ultraviolet light, the eSpring Water Treatment System effectively eliminates harmful contaminants, bacteria, and viruses from drinking water without the need for chemicals or excessive energy consumption. In fact, water treatment designs that use UVC LEDs can be up to 25% more energy efficient.
“Our UVC LEDs have proven to play a crucial role in helping to offer customers dependable and sustainable disinfection,” said Eoin Connolly, President and CEO of Crystal IS. “This collaboration between Crystal IS and Amway represents a significant step forward in the evolution of water purification technology, and we look forward to finding more ways to integrate UVC LED technology into water product design.”
The collaboration between Crystal IS and Amway exemplifies a shared vision of leveraging technology to address global health and environmental challenges.
