Xiaomi’s Smarter Living 2020 event today brought a number of affordable smart products to India. It includes the Mi Smart Water Purifier, the company’s first such product in India. To recall, Xiaomi does have a couple of water purifiers in China, but this looks like a brand new model that’s tailor-made for Indian customers.
The Xiaomi Mi Smart Water Purifier features a three filter design, much similar to its recently launched “Lentils” Water Purifier in China. These three filters work together to purify water in five stages. In the first two stages, the PPC filter clears out any large and visible particles in the water along with residual chlorine, odor, and color. The RO filter removes heavy metals and other organic materials in the third stage. The fourth stage involves the PAC filter removing odor and also improving the taste of the water. In the final fifth stage, UV light kills the remaining bacteria and viruses inside the water with 99.9% efficiency.
While this three-filter design ensures clean and safe drinking water, the real highlight of the Mi Smart Water Purifier is its smart capabilities, not usually found in this segment. Xiaomi’s Mi Home app can give you an exact picture of what’s happening inside the Purifier. You can monitor the water level in the tank, keep a track of the TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) level of the water inside, as well as the lifetime of each filter, in real-time.

The Mi Water Purifier also comes with a DIY filter replacement design which ensures you don’t have to worry about additional annual maintenance costs. Xiaomi’s water purifier is priced at Rs. 11,999 ($167) and will go on sale from September 29 in India via Mi.com, Flipkart, and Mi Home stores.
It looks like Xiaomi is finally bringing its smart products, which are extremely popular in China, to the Indian shores. Alongside this new Purifier, the company also announced the new Mi Band 4 and four new extremely affordable large screen Mi TVs in India.
