Multi-Modularized Water Purifier
Qi2

Multi-Modularized Water Purifier for PLAINLIV TAIWAN CO., LTD.

The idea of Qi2 came from the concept of array and building blocks, also the philosophy of ergonomics. Breaking the design frame of existing water filters, constructing all of possibilities with the simplest element. Compared with the existing water filters, Qi2 provides users with flexible filter cartridge selection from one to multiple combinations. As seen, Waterway and Cartridge will be replaced simultaneously, thus no more dirty waterway.

Production Technology

The realization of sluice-type replacement method comes from the plastic injection machine. We noticed that the injection machine must overcome the high liquid pressure with no leakage, so it could be achieved the same as in the waterway. With designated parameters in the plastic production for our design, we make the waterway water-tight, which owns 2 invention patents, as well as the elegant outlook.

Design Challenge

Simplified modulized design make it easier not only for user but also for manufacturing. Replaceable waterway reduces the usage of the whole water purifiers, thus reduces the resources of the planet.

Project Duration

By doing global water purifier market research in Winter 2018, we started the project workshop in Taiwan. With proposed blueprint, design validation, engineering validation, product validation, and then trial production in Summer 2020, our Qi2 product is honored to receive the Gold Medal Award among 535 pieces in the Taiwan Innotech Expo in September. The mass production and delivery is scheduled in November 2020 before Christmas season.

Operation Flow

Straight forward and easy to install, add, reduce and replace filter cartridges with simple tool and supporting rods inside the product package.

Research

The team realized that user has been troubled by traditional purifier after brainstorming with collecting market data and conducting some user experience workshops. Form Follows Function was then integrated into our design for the product.

Inspiration

The design comes from the ARRAY of BRICKs. Water purification needs multiple combinations of water treatment methods depending on the water quality, just like ARRAY of BRICKs. The water treatment methods have been built into different modules or filter cartridges, such as PolyPropylene, Active Carbon, Ultra Violet, UltraFiltration and Reverse Osmosis etc.. The household consumers can then make their own choice of water purifiers simply by the water quality of the area they lives, and they can easily add, reduce and replace filter cartridges at any time at any conveniences by their own.
