Edrop - cap water purifier

Portable water purifier

Edrop is a portable water purifier that allows users to obtain clean drinking water cheaply, quickly, and conveniently. Inspired by the form of an hourglass, the unique two-way connector fits on most plastic bottle mouths. It can be used with any two bottles without the need for additional accessories or filtration devices. The two-way filter element ensures more thorough filtration, and the backflush function (activated by squeezing the bottle) extends the service life of the filter element. It can provide clean water for multiple people in a short time and is easily stored for later use.

JURY STATEMENT

Amongst many proposals for filtration-based water purification, this entry stood out on two accounts. First is its reliance on, and compatibility with, plastic water bottles. This gives a smart secondary use to a contentious product and removes the need to manufacture additional product-specific containers. Second is its hourglass form and color coding, elegantly expressing a simple top-to-bottom purification process.
