The GE Homespring program purifies water for the entire home through a membrane system. Used in Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina and in tsunami-ravaged areas in India and Sri Lanka to provide safe drinking water, the system removes bacteria, cysts and viruses.

Most water treatment systems on the market take up space underneath the sink, in the refrigerator or on the countertop. They require constant monitoring, frequent replacement and provide water of questionable purity. These systems could be considered inconvenient to use and provide a limited supply of water to the home, usually through one special tap in the kitchen.

The Homespring Central Water Purifier enables the homeowner to obtain this treated water from every tap in the entire house by filtering water at the point of entry.

Sounds kind of neat.
