LG Electronics Unveils PuriCare Ice Water Purifier Equipped with Microplastic Filtering

- LG PuriCare Ice Water Dispenser with Microplastic Filtering Function Draws Consumer Attention
- Providing a Clean Water Life through All-Puri Filter System Filtering

With the recent increase in interest in health, the importance of the water and ice consumed daily is being emphasized. It is now an era where not only drinking water for health matters, but also what kind of water and how it is consumed.

Many consumers purchase single-use PET bottled water easily available at convenience stores and supermarkets. Although single-use PET bottles have emerged as a social issue related to microplastics, domestic safety standards regarding the harmfulness and permissible limits of microplastics have not yet been established, making it necessary to re-examine the hygiene and safety of the water we drink ourselves.

Water, which makes up 70% of the human body, is an essential element for a healthy life. Since hydration is essential for maintaining the proper function of body organs, consumer interest in clean and healthy drinking water is increasing.

Reflecting these consumer needs, LG Electronics has introduced the ‘LG PuriCare Objet Collection Ice Water Purifier’ capable of filtering microplastics.

The PuriCare Objet Collection Ice Water Purifier released by LG Electronics is an ice water purifier equipped with the ‘All Puri Filter System’ that filters 99.8% of microplastics and 99.99% of norovirus. By providing clean water that removes these harmful substances, it allows for drinking water that is cleaner and safer.

Additionally, with UVnano sterilization, the internal water outlet, ice-making section, and ice discharge section are automatically sterilized by 99.9%, allowing the whole family to use it with peace of mind. The direct water pipe high-temperature sterilization function automatically sterilizes the direct water pipe once a week, providing convenience in product management. This high-temperature sterilization function removes E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, ensuring safe use.

Moreover, when applying for a professional care manager visit service, which is a paid service, the ice storage compartment can be separated and cleaned to professionally care for the ice storage environment.

An LG Electronics official stated, “As concerns about microplastic detection are increasing recently, the safety of water and ice consumed at home should be considered more important,” adding, “LG Ice Water Purifiers plan to provide a safer drinking water environment through continuous research.”
