Meet the internet-connected water jug that orders its own filters from Amazon


Meet the internet-connected water jug that orders its own filters from Amazon

You’ve always wanted to connect everything in your house to the internet, right? Well, it’s your lucky day!

Meet the internet-connected Brita water jug. It’s one of the first devices to integrate with Amazon Dash, so it can order its own replacement filters whenever it’s time for a new one without you needing to do anything.

The new jug, which costs $44.99, connects to your Wi-Fi network and tracks water use to determine when it’s time to buy a new one. There’s not that much more to say, except that the idea is kind of both ridiculous and awesome all at once — I’m always forgetting to order new filters, but there’s a good reason Brita’s monthly subscription exists.

All you need to do to get that new water pitcher setup is connect it to your Wi-Fi using your Amazon account and boom, your water jug will spend your money for you.
