The Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi is having a smart solution to drink water. Well, the vendor has transitioned into an all-rounder from being a smartphone maker. Initially, Xiaomi started with smartphones, and it went on introducing power banks, lamps and AC in India. Now, it is time for a Mi Water Purifier.

The Xiaomi Mi Water Purifier is priced at 1,299 Yuan (approx. Rs 13,279). The appliance has been developed by Yunmi Technology and the purifier makes use of Reverse Osmosis (RO) in order to purify the water. This is the same process that is used by the bottled pure water filtration, medical water and desalinization.
The Mi Water Purifier has four filters – a cotton filter, a RO membrane and two activated coconut carbon filter. The first one, the cotton filter is responsible to clean the sediments, rust and other impurities from the water.
