Free will water purifier

Free will purifier is designed taking a hint from a rotary lever-typed faucet.
How much angle a lever handle is turned determines water temperature and flowrate, enabling a user to know how to use it intuitively. This means a high level of convenience to modern consumers who put priority on well-being whether they use purified water for cooking or making tea.




Existing problems

"The inconvenient and uncertain system." The existing lever-typed purifier has corks both for hot water and cold water. This allows users who want to get lukewarm water to shuttle between the hot water and cold water. Furthermore, users can only guess the temperature of the water they get. "Difficult interface." The touch-typed purifiers provide relatively sensitive and various functions. However its lack of intuitive interface is difficulty for users. Especially for those who do not know the language displayed on the purifier, the difficulty is multiplied.




Temperature & Flowrate

Designed under the motive of a rotary lever-typed faucet, the Free Will allows anybody who has ever used a faucet can use it easily. Water temperature and flowrate is adjustable depending on the angle of turning the lever handle. The 2in1 cork is a structure that helps users get a large amount of water. If there is only 1 cork, water pressure may go up and water will be scattered. The 2in1 cork raises flowrate instead of water pressure.




Color lighting

Colors of lighting show the water temperature intuitively. And on the front of the cork, an icon style lighting displays flowrate.
