Dial + Plus Water Purifier

Industrial Design

DIAL+PLUS water purifier  (WPU-B200/B100)

We tried to improve a mechanical water purifier which has not been developed much to be in line with modern culture. Modern people who has high interest in health use purified water as water for cooking or as water to make tea. We designed this product by focusing on the function and nature of the product, and tried to minimize the unnecessary elements.




Continuous water dispensing is possible without electric power and pollution

There are many products that provide continuous water dispensing function in the water purifier market.
They are largely divided into electric type and lever type. Electric type has a problem of waste of electricity as motor pump should be operated. Lever type has no waste of electric power as water is taken with physical force and gravity. However there is inconvenience of pressing lever for a long time or pollution by water splash when lever is pulled to the front of cock and returned. Continuous water dispensing dial, which is newly applied to DIAL+PLUS water purifier makes it possible to achieve continuous water dispensing only by rotating dial.




Lever + Dial

The 'push lever' type is intuitive and easy to use as the user only needs to push a cup to the cock area to get water.
In case of the newly invented 'dial' type, if the user turns the dial located on the upper parts of the cock, it is possible to get water as the lever is pushed back without the power consumption. It is fixed when the dial is turned up to 90 degrees. The dial type removes the inconveniences of the lever type that needs to keep pressing the lever to get plenty of water. The cock protruding design is possible to use a large pot and bottle conveniently.




Highest Energy Consumption Efficiency Grade

The product is recognized as eco-friendly product as it obtained “Grade 1”, which is the highest energy consumption efficiency grade in Korea with its consumption power of 55~300W. In addition, it makes user easily set the energy saving mode by playing hot water and cool water temperature control button on the front side of the product.
