Minus Water Filter

Minus Water Filter is an innovative, sustainable tap water filtration device designed to provide instant access to clean drinking water while maintaining a zero-waste lifecycle. This compact, pocket-sized filter utilizes tap pressure to push water through an all-natural activated coconut charcoal filter infused with silver particles, effectively removing chemicals, bacteria, and unpleasant odors from tap water. The device's thoughtful design incorporates several groundbreaking features, including a natural indigo colorant that serves as an intuitive end-of-life indicator, washing out gradually to signal when replacement is needed. Constructed from durable stainless steel with a rubber coating for enhanced grip, the filter features precision-manufactured seals designed to fit common tap sizes and removable components for easy maintenance. The filter's circular economy approach is exemplified through its complete recyclability and reusability, as used filters can be returned via any post box for cleaning, recharging, and redistribution. This sustainable solution addresses the critical issue of water safety in 187 countries where tap water may contain harmful contaminants while eliminating the environmental impact of conventional disposable filters. The design, which won an Iron A' Design Award in the Sustainable Products, Projects and Green Design category, represents a significant advancement in sustainable water filtration technology, combining practical functionality with environmental responsibility. Its dimensions of 190mm x 37mm x 53mm make it highly portable, while its user-friendly operation requires only simple steps for immediate access to clean water.
