Essential Water Purifier
Why is our hot water only maximum at 87 degrees celsius, not 100 degrees celsius?
The reason is that when water reaches 100 °C, it reaches the boiling point, which means water will become steam as well, making it unsafe since it is prone to scalding. When steam is formed in the piping, the water flow becomes unstable and may lead to splash-back when dispensing. Therefore, 87°C is a much safer setting!
If I am on holiday and away from home, should I turn off the electricity?
There is no need to turn off the electricity if you prefer not to! YU HOME Essential Water Purifier will go into standby mode when not in use. The electricity consumed during this mode is insignificant, at around $0.8/month. We suggest that you dispense out all the water in tanks after a long holiday and let it refill the fresh water before you start to consume the water.
Do you have any videos of the YU HOME Essential Water Purifier?
Yes, here you go.
Do you have a brochure?
Yes we do! Just click on this link.
What's the electrical consumption of the YU HOME Essential Water Purifier?
YU HOME Water Purifier is a smart device designed to be energy-friendly. It will go into standby mode when not in use. The electricity consumed during this mode is insignificant, at around $0.8/month.
The power needed for the hot water function is actually less than the power used to boil water with a kettle. The power required for using the chilled water function is equivalent to when you are using a ceiling fan.
Here are some sample figures:
Heating: 2600 Watt - equivalent to a steam iron, electric stove
Cooling: 0.3 Ampere or 70 Watt, or equivalent to a ceiling fan
What is the material of the filter bottles?
The filter bottles are made of polypropylene that is completely safe for water filtration.
What’s the material of the outer casing?
It’s ABS plastic. It is a safe and harmless plastic with no toxic carcinogens. No negative health effects are related to exposure to it.
What are the features of the YU HOME Essential Water Purifier?
5 Temperatures range settings: 4-5, 14-15, 24-25, and 78-87°C.
4 Stages filtration system: removes suspended solids, chlorine, pathogenic bacteria, and removes bad odors. Providing healthy and fresh water without metal and rusty taste.
Volume: dispenses water as much as you like.
Self-maintenance: electric steriliser module, self-clean the internal water flow path.
What does the YU HOME Essential Water Purifier filter out?
The YU HOME Essential Water Purifier is equipped with 3 filters and 4 stages filtration process:
Pre carbon block sediment filter: filters out suspended solids such as dust, rust, and sand. It also removes organic compounds such as chlorine and lead.
UF and post carbon block filter: filters out ultra small micropores up to 0.01 microns, removing harmful contaminants and pathogenic bacteria.
Is there an Alkaline Function?
Our filters do not have alkaline function as we prefer our water to be pure and of neutral pH. Our pH level is the same as normal drinking water as we are unsure of the long term effects of drinking too much alkaline. Upon research, we didn't find any studies that prove the benefits of alkaline water. Our main purpose is to filter the water to make sure it is clean from bacteria and chemicals.
Do I need to top up water?
YU HOME Water Purifier draws water directly from your water supply. It means there is no need for you to top up any water. Neither is there any need to wash and maintain a tank. This makes it extremely convenient and hygienic for all users!
