Kohler Splash

The Splash concept was created to redesign countertop water filtration systems for consumer use. Many current gravity-fed options leave you waiting several minutes and only filter out chlorine and zinc, leaving harmful contaminants such as lead, arsenic, uranium, pharmaceuticals, bacteria, and viruses. By integrating a small pump, the Splash allows for a more robust filtration system while reducing valuable time.

The Splash was iteratively designed into two form factors to test the benefits of both with consumers. The features of each design remain the same.
