Coway's ‘Icon Water Purifier 2,’ released this year, is attracting significant market attention. This product is popular for its design, innovative hygiene management, and systematic maintenance services.


According to Coway, the Icon Water Purifier 2 performs UV sterilization of the faucet (cooking water valve) for 15 minutes every 6 hours and requires the entire faucet to be replaced with a new one annually. The faucet can be easily detached and cleaned, and it is made from ‘Tritan’ material to enhance hygiene. Tritan is an eco-friendly material that is safe for newborns as it poses no risk of environmental hormones or internal corrosion. Another advantage is the application of a 2nd generation electronic cooling system that achieves higher cooling efficiency. The electronic cooling system is an eco-friendly cooling method that uses semiconductor thermoelectric elements to absorb surrounding heat without mechanical movement. The main parts that come into contact with water, from the faucet to the waterway, have also passed material safety tests conducted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).


The Icon Water Purifier 2 is equipped with a 7-inch ‘Nano Trap Filter’ system, which is 1 inch larger than previous models. This filter removes a total of 94 harmful substances, including algal toxins that were difficult to eliminate with the previous 6-inch filter, as well as viruses, environmental hormones, and harmful heavy metals, providing fresh water directly. The hot water temperature has been upgraded from the previous single level (about 85°C) to four levels (about 45°C, 70°C, 85°C, and 100°C), including ultra-hot water. The continuous extraction ultra-hot water function allows convenient use in various situations such as cooking and food manufacturing without the need to boil water separately.



With AI smart diagnostics, the purifier detects its current status and any abnormalities, providing guidance on solutions. Users can check information such as usage status, filter and faucet replacement dates, and product issues via a mobile app. The product measures 18 cm in width and 25 cm in depth (excluding the tray), making it highly space-efficient for kitchens.
