Water Filtration From a Smartphone

Franke’s Bluetooth-enabled StillPure Filtration System lets homeowners monitor their kitchen sink filtration from a smartphone. Franke claims the under-sink filter removes harmful bacteria, parasites, cysts, chlorine, and lead from water and is compatible with any of Franke’s faucets. An Apple or Android app receives data from the FM100 module— a monitor connected to the filter that tracks how many filtered gallons of water a household consumes—and alerts homeowners when a filter needs to be changed. Users can reorder filters in the app. The system is sold for $95 to $945, depending on components selected. franke.com
