What could be the biggest problem with the water purifier?
People take a cup out of the shelf as soon as they get out of bed and drink water from the water purifier. People take a new cup out of the cup shelf every time when they drink water in the morning, in the afternoon, and before they sleep. Before you know, all cups on the cup shelf are entering into the sink and waiting to be washed. More than half of the dishes of my house are cups.
'S2 Water Purifier' is a wall mounter type of water purifier. Once used, a cup can go through washing and sterilization on the water purifier, which is combined with the drainer over the sink. Hence, there is no need to wash the cup separately.

Kitchen space is always complex. This image is showing the percentage of occupying the water purifier and cup shelf in the kitchen. I was worried about how to efficiently use complex kitchen space. 

 

 

This is a wall-mounted water purifier combined with the cup shelf,
thus enabling the efficient use of complex kitchen space.

 

If you place your used cup on the shelf in the water purifier, it is sterilized and washed immediately through the whole process of boil at the water temperature of 95℃; super ultrasonic wash; water wash and rinse; ultraviolet disinfection; dry by hot air.

 

As there is a water vent at the bottom of the purifier, you can use any kinds of water bottles to contain water regardless of size and length.
