As kitchen trends have skewed towards industrial-strength appliances, with soccer moms reaching into Sub-Zero 'fridges, will it also dip into laboratory-level water filtration systems? If so, UK-based manufacturer Elga may have a market beyond science geeks.
Elga's Purelab Flex water filtration system ain't exactly a Brita pitcher; it spits out 2 liters a minute of water in various degrees of filtration, with precision dispensing indicating by an LED readout and even USB data capture that records water quality. The entire system is a lot bigger than it looks (see bottom-right photo) and it's probably more than most consumers need...but that's exactly what I said about Sub-Zero 'fridges when they started making their way into suburban kitchens.
