You fill a glass from the tap, the water looks clear enough, and you take a sip without thinking twice. But do you really know what’s in that water? Hidden beneath its transparency are impurities you can’t always see—chemicals, metals, microorganisms, etc. We assume the tap is fine because it’s what we’ve always done. But why settle for “good enough” when you could have water that’s visibly, undeniably clean? That’s the idea behind Waterdrop’s ED01 Electric Water Filter Pitcher. It’s not just about filtration; it’s about transparency—literally. The water-purifying pitcher itself is crystal clear, so you see exactly what you’re pouring into your glass. No more guessing, no more second thoughts. And the best part? Being able to carry your ED01 around from room to room instead of having to walk to the kitchen or your wall-mounted purifier every single time you need a glass of water. Whether you’re working at your desk, lounging on the couch, or prepping a meal, this sleek pitcher follows you, offering fresh, purified water wherever you need it. Clean water, on your terms.

The Waterdrop ED01 is a remarkably portable water filter pitcher, designed to give you clear water wherever you go. The pitcher itself holds 3.5 liters (or 15 glasses worth) of water in it at any given point in time, with a one-touch dispenser that automatically filters and dispenses water directly into your bottle or glass. At 10.2 inches in height, it’s compact enough to even slide right into your fridge, giving you the added advantage of crisp, chilled drinking water at the push of a button.

Even though its transparent design is arguably its most eye-catching feature, the real beauty of the Waterdrop ED01 is what you don’t see—the advanced filtration happening behind the scenes. Sure, we all want clean water, but most of us don’t give a second thought to what’s actually in that water. With a single-button dispensing system, this pitcher does the heavy lifting of purifying for you on demand, removing bacteria, heavy metals, chemicals, and other contaminants you don’t want in your body. And it does so instantly, meaning you’re not just getting water that’s filtered—you’re getting water that’s as fresh as it can possibly be. Compare that to traditional gravity-fed systems, where the water can sit around for hours, potentially growing germs or losing its crisp taste.

Waterdrop’s electric filter pitchers provide instant filtration too, at a stunning 0.8 liters a minute compared to gravity water filters that take nearly 4x as long. All you do is hit the water drop icon on top and the ED01 gets to work. Water passes through a 5-micrometer filter that traps and removes over 30 harmful contaminants like chlorine, PFOA/PFOS, lead, benzene, mercury, while even trapping molecules that give some types of water a bad odor or taste. It doesn’t reduce the water’s TDS count, which you may want to take care of if you’ve got high-TDS tap water in your neighborhood – that’s where RO filtration systems are required, although RO systems are traditionally a lot bigger and bulkier than the ED01’s sleek water filter design.

The cartridge-based filters are easy to install and even swap out. Sort of like installing a big battery, the cylindrical filter cartridges slide in and slide out, making replacement a breeze. Each cartridge is good for up to 200 gallons of water or 1600 bottles, lasting anywhere between 4-6 months based on your water consumption. The ED01’s built-in battery has a 30-day life too, so you only ever need to recharge the thing once a month.

The ED01’s portable design and built-in handle mean you can carry your water purifier around with you – reducing your dependency on single-use water bottles. Whether you’re at home, at work, or out in nature, the ED01 has your drinking water needs sorted. Going on a camping trip? No need to haul around a bunch of bottled water when you can just bring the ED01 along and get fresh, filtered water from any available source. Living in a small apartment? The compact size won’t take up much counter space, and the clean, minimalist design ensures it won’t clash with your décor. The minimal, all-clear design adapts to your decor, and the compact form factor to your lifestyle, offering you the flexibility and freedom to get clean water wherever you are. You don’t realize how much you rely on something as simple as good, clean water until you have a product that makes it this easy to access.

I don’t know about you but I’ve never seen a water filtration system that looks elegant enough to integrate into your house or kitchen’s decor. They’re almost always made of plastic, with a design that can only be described as ‘worthy of being hidden’. That’s why most kitchens come with under-sink compartments for hiding these purification systems, so all you get is clean water through the tap without that hyper-industrial aesthetic of the purifier ruining your kitchen’s design. That’s something the folks at Waterdrop Filter wanted to change – among other things. The first time you lay your eyes on the Waterdrop Filter X series – X16, chances are you won’t even think it’s a purification system – with the sleek aesthetic of probably a high-end PC, the X16 is a state-of-the-art tankless RO water purifier that couples with a touch-sensitive faucet that truly uplifts your kitchen. Place the X16 in a hidden compartment or have it sitting on your countertop, it delivers RO-purified water at a speed of 1600 gallons per day. The water goes through a meticulous 11-stage filtration system, coming out as pristine and tasty as you’d expect from a device that looks this cutting-edge.

Unlike conventional dispensers that rely on pre-filled tanks, the Waterdrop Filter X series – X16 operates on a tankless design. This means it generates purified water on demand, eliminating the need to wait for a bulky dispenser to slowly trickle out water. This helps give it that sleek design that sets it apart from other bulkier purifiers that store up to 10 or 20 liters of water at a time in advance. Water gets purified on demand, and the instant you touch the faucet, water flows at a maximum rate of 1600 gallons per day (that’s fast enough to fill a glass in a mere 2 seconds, or a kettle in 10 seconds). The flow speed can be adjusted too, but the idea of never having to wait with a carafe or jug while it slowly fills up is quite the boon.

However, water speed isn’t what defines the X16 – it’s the fact that the water goes through a meticulous 11-stage filtration process across 3 different filter modules. This multi-stage approach tackles a wide range of contaminants that may be lurking in your tap water. The heart of the system lies in the 18-layer RO membrane filter. Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a technology that forces tap water through a semi-permeable membrane, effectively filtering out a wide range of impurities, including Chlorine, Lead, Fluoride, Heavy Metals like arsenic, mercury, and chromium-6, and finally Microscopic Contaminants like bacteria, cysts, etc. RO filtration is considered to be arguably the highest standard in home-based water filtration – but it does have a caveat – for every liter of water filtered, the tankless RO system also ejects contaminated water out of its system, leading to wastage. The X16 tackles that with a 3:1 fresh-to-waste water ratio – which means for every 3 liters of fresh purified water, there’s just 1 liter of impure water that’s disposed at the end of the day – a metric much better than some purifiers that waste up to 50% of water in their purification process.

While the multi-stage filtration process removes a wide range of contaminants, the X16 takes an extra step to ensure water safety. The system also integrates a UV sterilizer that eliminates bacteria and viruses in the dispensed water, providing an extra layer of peace of mind. This is especially beneficial for those with compromised immune systems or concerns about microbial contamination in their water supply. While the filtration happens behind the scenes, what you really end up interfacing with is the X16’s tap – a smart, touch-sensitive faucet that comes with its own color-coded display to let you know that your water is pure and contaminant-free. An intuitive dial on the faucet lets you select the desired water volume, from 1 to 64 ounces, with automatic shutoff once the chosen amount is dispensed. Need to stop dispensing early? Pushing the dial again stops the water flow – it’s so easy even a kid could do it.

A simple glance at the faucet’s display also lets you know the status of each of the three filters – blue indicates a healthy filter life, yellow signifies a filter nearing replacement, and red signals an urgent need for a filter change. This intuitive system ensures optimal performance and prevents potential water quality issues by reminding you to replace filters before they become ineffective.

The result is a design and tech overhaul of how drinking water is filtered and dispensed in your kitchen. Instead of purifiers that you want to hide away, and faucets that can often look archaic, the X16 puts a minimal-futuristic spin on the category, with a sleek-looking purifier that’s worthy of being on your countertop, but if space is a constraint, fits perfectly well in your undersink, occupying a minimal footprint. The faucet echoes the same intuitive, sleek, cutting-edge approach that’s seen in the tankless purifier too. It’s simple and easy to use, giving you fresh water that’s enriched in minerals and has a pH level of 7.5± so you actually enjoy the taste of water too.

Bringing an Apple or Tesla-kind of innovation and disruption to the water dispensing space comes with a price, though. The Waterdrop Filter X series – X16 starts at $1999 for the entire kit (purifier + smart faucet), but you can grab a 35% discount on Prime Day and an additional 5% off using the code YDreader during checkout!

Brazil apparently has one of the most effective (and affordable!) water filtration systems in the world. You can find clay water filters in almost every home and markets and they are actually created by local craftsmen. There are some challenges to this though as it is not always aesthetically pleasing and some people say there is a certain aftertaste to the water that goes through this system. There is even sometimes a problem about mold as well. Now a reinterpretation of the clay water filters may have solved some of those issues.

Designer: Estúdio Biologique

A Brazil-based design studio has come up with the Biologique water filter which still uses the same filter system. However, it uses white ceramic so that the water should taste about the same but of course it is filtered. It also doesn’t leave any mold but is also easy to clean, which was also a problem with the traditional filter. The important thing though is that it is able to bring clean, drinking water with the simple filtration system that doesn’t require any complicated installation or instructions.

For those that are concerned with the aesthetics of the water filter, then this is also where Biologique shines. It has a simple, minimalistic design that still keeps the original idea of the clay water filter but brings a more modern feel to it. It has two round parts on top of each other, a wooden stand, and a faucet that looks like those you find in draft beer machines. It comes in different colors: terracotta, rosé, green, brown, off white, black, gray, and capuccino.

The Biologique water filter comes in 9.0L and a petit version in 4.5L so you have two options depending on your space and the drinking water capacity of the people you live with. Of course it is more expensive than the traditional clay water filters that you’ll find in the usual Brazilian households. That’s the price you have to pay to have something prettier and better designed. Estúdio Biologique says their products are done by hand and on a small scale, so that’s also one of the reasons for the price point.
