Multifunctional Water Purifiers

The Philips InstantTrust Works on Everything from Taps to Pitches

— November 13, 2011 — Art & Design
The Philips InstantTrust is a new UV purifying system designed to make clean water accessible to all. InstantTrust was designed by Philips Lighting, and is designed to be used with all types of water systems and with water of all temperatures.

Philips InstantTrust uses UV light to kill bacteria and other harmful organisms lurking in tap water. The gadget is unique because it has been designed to work with everything from pitchers to sink faucets. Designing a water filter that works with a variety of items would be great, as buying multiple filters to ensure clean drinking water throughout the house is costly and impractical. Philips has not announced any pricing or release date information, so it may be some time before you are actually able to shop around for the Philips InstantTrust.
