Project















SPARK designed and engineered the Clear2O's integrated meter that accurately measures the life of the filter and allows for quick-connect, on-demand re-fill capability.






Challenge

Applica wanted to raise the benchmark with their new Clear20 water filtration pitcher by featuring a new, high-quality filter and ondemand re-fill capability.

To call attention to the Clear2O's innovative features, Applica's outside design team, BOLT, created a dramatic, appealing form for kitchen counter top and refrigerator use.

Solution

SPARK took BOLT's concept sketches and transformed them into an aesthetic, eyecatching design with smooth forms and multiple, industry-first features.

Most impressive, SPARK design and engineered an innovative flow meter that accurately measures the quantity of water through the filter rather than a less accurate timer.

Result

SPARK's engineering effort helped Applica achieve their objectives for an innovative, industry-first product.

  • Space-efficient design holds 50% more water than conventional filter pitchers.


  • High-performance Cuno filter removes five times more contaminants than the leading pitcher filters.
  • NEW FILTER PITCHER BENCHMARK
    SPARK provided plastic part design and complex surface modeling that insured the Clear2O achieved a seamless, sculptural form with an ergonomic handle for ease-of-use. SPARK's final 3D CAD models featured 34 individual, tool-ready plastic parts.

  • Intelligent-filter indicator for exact replacement time.


  • Advanced quick-connection to faucet fills pitcher faster.
