Design Process
Aqua Pura is a water filter designed for the asian market for use in semipublic buildings such as office buildings controlled only by an app.
The water dispenser is automatically adjusted in height by the use of a distance sensor. The collecting container is fixed by magnets and can be easily removed and emptied.
The Aqua Pura app is the complete control mechanism of the filter. Every employee has a license to register and his or her personal login. The employees can control the filter via the app and save individual options such as the amount, the carbonic acid level and the water temperature.
Easy to clean!
The biofilm on the microfilter must be removed regularly. The office staff can simply separate the microfilter from the system and put it in the dishwasher.
With the help of the Aqua Pura App, personalized
data can bestored and the daily required amount of
water can be calculated.There is also a donation
system where employees can join forces to donate water filters to villages with poor water quality.

Research & Synthesis
The project focused on the development of a water filter for the East Asian market. In East Asia, the control of bottled water has repeatedly shown shortcomings. In addition, many cases of fraud are reported where bottled water did not meet quality standards.
Bromine suspected of being carcinogenic has been found in bottled water and the water dispensers in offices are also frequently contaminated with germs.
Another alarming fact, is that there are over 750 million people worldwide without access to clean water.
