Qi2: Revolutionizing Water Purification with Modular Design

Plainliv Taiwan's Award-Winning Water Purifier Offers Customizable, DIY Solutions

The Qi2's unique properties lie in its modular design. Users can easily add, reduce, or replace filter cartridges at their convenience, offering a flexible solution to water purification. The cartridges, which include PolyPropylene, Active Carbon, Ultra Violet, UltraFiltration, and Reverse Osmosis, among others, can be combined to form the purifier itself. This state-of-the-art design allows for time-saving replacement of patented filter cartridges and can be easily switched between RO, UV, and direct drinking systems.

The design's realization technology was inspired by the plastic injection machine, a device that must overcome high liquid pressure without leakage. With designated parameters in plastic production, the Qi2 achieves a water-tight waterway, owning two invention patents and boasting an elegant outlook.

Technical specifications of the Qi2 allow consumers to choose their own combinations of filters, up to five specific filters. The space required to change filters is a mere 18 * 44 CM, making it a compact solution for any household.

Plainliv Taiwan's Qi2 was born out of extensive market research and user experience workshops. The team identified the challenges users faced with traditional purifiers and integrated the principle of 'Form Follows Function' into their design. The result is a simplified, modular design that not only benefits the user but also reduces the resources of the planet.

Qi2's design philosophy is rooted in the concept of array and building blocks, as well as ergonomics. It breaks the design frame of existing water filters, constructing all possibilities with the simplest element. With Qi2, the waterway and cartridge are replaced simultaneously, eliminating the issue of dirty waterways.

Qi2's innovative design has not gone unnoticed. It was awarded the Silver A' Home Appliances Design Award in 2021, a prestigious accolade rewarded to top-of-the-line, creative, and professionally remarkable designs that illustrate outstanding expertise and innovation. Qi2 is set to revolutionize the water purification industry, offering a flexible, user-friendly solution that puts the power of choice in the hands of the consumer.
