Thanks @robjama for hunting us, and hello fellow Product Hunters! My name is Allen. I started Pani after a volunteer trip to Nepal building a water project in a remote 300-person village, 8 1/2 hours south-east of Kathmandu. That experience not only informed me of the importance of clean water, but that water has nuances that can be "personalized" to do so much more. When I returned from the trip, I started Pani, a word that means "water" in Hindi. I'm grateful to be able to share with you what we're building. Most of us drink a few glasses of water a day, for almost every day that we’ve been alive. It is usually an unremarkable experience that we don’t think too much about. The mundane often times lulls you into complacency. Six months ago, we set out to re-imagine this ordinary experience. Combining lessons learned from my water volunteer trip in Nepal, with the philosophy that Mother Nature knows best, we set out to to make drinking water an extra-ordinary experience. Today, I’m super excited to share with you Pani Source Smart Water System, a water filtration, re-mineralization, and personalization product that will change the way you drink water at home. Please take 2 minutes to view the product intro video for the product features, pod descriptions and how it all works! At Pani, we believe that doing good and doing well are not mutually exclusive. We donate a portion of all proceeds to charities that advance equitable access to clean and potable water for people who live in water-stricken geographies. Additionally, we strive to remove plastic waste and reduce the carbon footprint of our supply chain by making our pods reusable (ie not single-use) and advancing a new consumer behavior/retail distribution model where H2O is added at the point-of-use (ie at home), instead of it being shipped thousands of miles in containers across the US. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this post. I am happy to help answer any questions you may have, and I hope to earn your support/upvote. Gratefully, Me and the entire Pani team www.getpani.com Instagram Facebook Twitter Medium article on my Nepal Trip

Love this concept and applaud the progress to date. @allen_tsai I love your passion around this product and helping people rethink some core and fundamental. High five!
Allen Tsai
@gavin_delany I appreciate you @gavin_delany! We remember that 1.2B people in the world today don't have reliable access to clean potable water. Clean water is a human right, not a privilege.

Interesting product, and having the crowdfunding hosted on your domain is quite clever. Best of luck @allen_tsai and team
Allen Tsai
@sabtiali Thank you Ali! There are pro's and con's for sure, but a tradeoff we were happy to make.
Andres Fabris
Personalized, clean water on demand is such a powerful concept. It addresses at least a half-dozen important needs at out household -- so incredibly excited to receive this product!!
Allen Tsai
@andres_fabris We're working hard on delivering it!
Andy Chen
Love this idea. Water is one thing we drink everyday, multiple times. If there is one thing we should be optimizing the heck out of, it is water, what it is in it, and our habits around making sure we drink enough.
Allen Tsai
@andy_chen3 We're going to try to connect the dots between smart devices, sensors, biometrics, and wrapping it all up in a unique drinking experience!
Vas
?makers love the '3 free pods' hook, but it seems like the actual product is not available yet?
Allen Tsai
@vasgo Hi Vas, when the product ships, we will reach out to you about your pod selections, and at that point we'll ship an extra three pods if you've applied the Product Hunt promo code! Thanks!
Vas
?makers am I the only one who read it as "PAIN source" first? :)

@mselyserobinson The video can probably explain it better, but you insert these reusable infusion pods that contain natural extracts and minerals, and they help you give water an extra dimension. For example, we'll have an electrolyte pod to help you perform/recover after exercise. We'll have an Immunity pod with vitamin C, zinc, and echinacea. Or a Gingko Biloba pod to help you focus/concentrate when the kids are going crazy in the background when you're on a Zoom call =)

Cool product, what are the shipment opportunities?
Allen Tsai
@raziye_damla_ataoglu Hi Raziye, can you clarify what you mean by shipment opportunities? Do you mean logistics/3PL? Do you mean distribution partners?
Raziye Damla Ataoğlu
@allen_tsai Yeah I mean I live in Turkey. Do you make sales to here and is there will be change in price due to extra cost and taxes etc?
Allen Tsai
@raziye_damla_ataoglu We will probably make first deliveries in North America, before expanding to Europe and the Middle East.

I didn't even know water can have those impacts!
Allen Tsai
@arzu_kadak Right? When you do something so frequently for so long (ie drink water), you kind of overlook these little details! But often times it is by wandering off the beaten path that you see things from a different perspective.
