Xiaomi has launched a new product dubbed Chanitex Smart Water Purifier under the Youpin crowdfunding platform. The product is different from the regular water purifier in several ways. First, it comes with an ultra-durable filter which you won’t need to change for three years. The product also comes with support for Mijia app control making it possible to operate the device remotely from your smartphone. The device comes with a price tag of 2499 yuan ($372). The price includes on-site installation service fees and the gadget is expected to start shipping on April 22.
The Chanitex Smart Water Purifier is a product of AO Smith Environmental Appliance Global Research and Development Base and they also provide comprehensive after-sales services. The company has a multi-functional laboratory for water treatment constructed in accordance with NSFCNAS accreditation standards, including 18 modules for precision instrumental analysis laboratories that can detect heavy metals, antibiotics, microorganisms, and disinfection by-products. The firm currently has more than 140 patented technologies.
The Chanitex Smart Water Purifier uses a 550-gallon high-throughput reverse osmosis filtration system that increases the water purification membrane area by 30% compared to conventional 400 water vessels. The water output per minute is as high as 1.6 liters which translates to outputting a cup of fresh water in 7.5 seconds. Compared to the traditional 400G water purifier, the water output per minute increased by 60%. 
The purifier adopts a barrelless design, that is, it can be filtered and ready to drink without a storage chamber. Thus, when the tap is turned on, the water flows through the purifier and fresh water is immediately delivered, reduce waiting time. This design effectively removes the risk of secondary pollution that may arise from the water storage tank.
Further, the Chanitex smart water purifier adopts the patented long-acting RO (Reverse osmosis) membrane independently developed by the company. Under the condition of ensuring fresh and safe water quality, the membrane service life is up to 3 years, and the annual total water purification is improved compared with the traditional 400G water purifier by four times, reaching a total of 5500L of clean water. It has a five-stage layer filtration system, which can effectively remove rust, scale, heavy metals, residual chlorine, impurities from the regular water supply at home. It also removes odour and improves the taste. The patented technology of smart self-flushing automatically flushes out water caught up midway when power goes out.
