[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] Coway announced on the 20th that it will launch the 2021 model ice water purifier 'Coway Ice (AIS) 3.0 IoCare,' which significantly enhances purification performance and user convenience.

According to Coway, the new product is an upgraded version of the ice water purifier released last year. It strengthens water purification performance and ice hygiene management, and incorporates the customized care solution 'IoCare' utilizing Internet of Things (IoT) technology.

In particular, this product adopts an RO membrane filter system to provide more powerful purification performance. It has also been verified for the removal performance of harmful substances in a total of 104 items (excluding duplicates) by domestic and international accredited institutions. These include 47 items certified by the domestic KC certification, 79 items certified by the Water Quality Association (WQA) in the United States, an international certification body, and 1 item evaluated by Norogen.

Additionally, through the WQA Gold Seal certification from the Water Quality Association, Coway added that the product passed certification standards such as non-detection of approximately 190 harmful and toxic substances in all parts that come into contact with water and structural integrity tests of the product.

Ice and cold water are produced separately by a dual cooling system. The UV LED lamp installed in the ice tank automatically cares for the entire tank three times a day for two hours each time, hygienically managing the ice.

The customized care solution IoCare guides users to drink water at an appropriate temperature based on weather and living environment information. It also provides individual users with daily and monthly water intake information, suggesting healthy water drinking habits.

The new product self-diagnoses its status through artificial intelligence (AI) technology. If an abnormality is detected, malfunction information and solutions are also displayed on the LCD screen. Coway explained that with a width of 27 cm, it also boasts excellent space efficiency.

Park Chanjeong, head of Coway Environmental Technology Research Institute, said, “Coway AIS 3.0 IoCare is a product that upgrades consumer usability through innovative technology along with enhanced purification performance to provide clean water and ice, which are the most important essentials of an ice water purifier.”
