Daeho ENG, Successful Commercialization of Water Purifier Filter

Concerns are mounting over the severe aging of water pipes in Gwangju Metropolitan City. Amid growing citizen demand for clean water usage, attention is focused on a local small and medium-sized enterprise that has developed and successfully commercialized a high-quality water filter.

The company is Daehwo ENG Co., Ltd. (CEO Park Seok-hee), located in Pyeong-dong Industrial Complex, Gwangsan-gu. This company has developed and is marketing the ‘FILTRIO Filter,’ which perfectly removes contaminants from all tap water used in households through a triple filtration system.

FILTRIO is a compound word from Filt (filter) + Trio (trio), meaning a triple filter.

They produce three types: a 5-inch filter for household use such as showers, washbasins, and sinks; a 10-inch filter suitable for households and water meters; and a 20-inch filter for commercial establishments that use large amounts of water.

The greatest advantage of the FILTRIO filter is its ‘Tourmaline Ball function,’ which utilizes changes in water properties to generate mineral magnetized water, inhibit oxidation, enhance sterilization, absorb harmful toxic substances and various bacteria, and release four major effective minerals and abundant mineral ions into the water.

It also features an ‘Illite Ball function’ that removes residual chlorine from tap water, provides skin beauty effects through far-infrared radiation, helps improve blood circulation and metabolism, and aids in promoting the removal of waste from pores.

To achieve this, Daehwo ENG used stainless steel materials throughout the manufacturing process of the water filter, implemented a 100% automated welding process, installed water pressure measuring equipment, and conducted meticulous quality selection. The filter has obtained NSF certification and secured patents.

In particular, Daehwo ENG’s water filter is noted for enabling filtration of household water at once through water meter installation, securing the lowest price competitiveness in the domestic market, having no complicated additional costs, obtaining KC certification, and maximizing effectiveness through triple filter filtration.

According to the company, these strengths have secured a clear competitive edge in quality and price over other domestic companies specializing in water meter filters.

CEO Park Seok-hee emphasized, "Our company has developed a water filter with a triple filtration system under the slogan ‘The Power to Purify the World,’ filed a patent application with the Korean Intellectual Property Office, and entered mass production. We pride ourselves on having the best quality domestically and internationally with our unique technology, as well as being the best in price competitiveness."

He added, "As we are recruiting franchise stores nationwide, we are contributing to creating up to 500 jobs and supplying 100% filtered tap water, thereby promoting consumers’ health. Moving forward, we will further strengthen customer-centered services so that users can affordably use the ‘FILTRIO Water Filter’ with the highest quality through cost reduction."

Meanwhile, Daehwo ENG was established in 2012 in Pyeong-dong Industrial Complex, Gwangsan-gu, and is a specialized manufacturing company producing products such as Baltic refrigerator door welding types, gas range cooktops for export to the United States, air conditioner frames for railway vehicles, and fine dust adsorbers.

Currently, 45 employees work at the company, which has seen rapid sales growth over the past three years and continues to grow through investment in new technologies and stable management, making it a strong small and medium-sized enterprise.

An event to launch the water filter ‘FILTRIO’ to the world is scheduled to be held on February 28 at the Kim Dae-jung Convention Center.
