LG Electronics models are introducing the LG PuriCare Dual Water Purifier, which will be released on the 26th.

[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] LG Electronics announced on the 24th that it will launch two types of the ‘LG PuriCare Dual Water Purifier’ on the 26th, which takes care of kitchen space utilization, convenience, and hygiene.

The LG PuriCare Dual Water Purifier features a built-in design, installing the main body of the purifier inside the cabinet under the sink, with two water outlets exposed externally. The new product has separate outlets for cold water, hot water, purified water, and clean washing water.

In particular, the clean washing water, produced by electrolysis, helps sterilize and clean ▲ingredients such as fruits and vegetables ▲dishes and utensils such as bowls and spoons ▲and items like dishcloths and toothbrushes. Each outlet can also rotate 180 degrees.

According to tests conducted by the Korea Conformity Laboratories and the Korea Testing & Research Institute, the clean washing water of this product removes 99.99% of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa that adhere to dishcloths and toothbrushes or mix in the washing water, LG Electronics explained.

The ‘UVnano Safe Sterilization’ function uses UV (ultraviolet) LED to sterilize the water outlet cork by 99.99%. This function operates automatically every hour and can also be used by pressing a button whenever the customer wants.

LG Electronics offers a free replacement of the direct water pipe inside the purifier once a year for users who subscribe to the Care Solution service. Additionally, a Care Solution manager visits every three months to manage hygiene by sterilizing the product 99.99% through high-temperature sterilization and high-pressure cleaning.

Especially, when customers connect the water purifier to the LG ThinQ app via Wi-Fi, they can check the filter replacement schedule, product status, water usage, and more on their smartphones.

Moreover, this product is rated as Grade 1 in energy efficiency, reducing electricity costs. The monthly usage fee for the model with cold and purified water is 38,900 KRW, and for the model with hot water as well, it is 40,000 KRW.
