Today’s Modern Filipino Kitchen Must-Have: A Reliable and Stylish Water Purification Station

 

More Filipino homeowners are taking extra measures to ensure what they give their loved ones is safe and of high quality. Drinking water is one of these. As families prioritize health and wellness to fight the pandemic, ensuring clean and safe drinking water at home has become more crucial than ever.

Waterlogic, the global leader in home and workplace hydration solutions, offers Filipino homeowners a revolutionary way to purify and sterilize drinking water at home with the Aqua SmartGuard. The world’s first COVID-19-safe water purification product and recently launched in the Philippines, the Aqua SmartGuard boasts state-of-the-art Firewall UVC technology and BioCote antimicrobial surface protection to prevent the COVID-19 virus from contaminating the family’s drinking water.

“The Aqua SmartGuard water unit is an innovative addition to modern and healthy Filipino households. By combining technical expertise and aesthetic craftsmanship from our many years in the global water purification industry, we hope to help keep every Filipino home protected with an advanced and well-designed water unit that delivers the safest drinking water from the source to the glass,” said Windy Goffe-Gomez, Aqua SmartGuard Philippines CEO.

A stylish, functional cube to fit your home aesthetic and needs

Aqua SmartGuard comes in a sleek, compact cube design that complements any kitchen aesthetic and can fit even small countertops. But make no mistake because while its stylish metallic silver and black design is a sure standout in any modern kitchen, the Aqua SmartGuard is more than just eye-candy. It has a premium build and durable quality that homeowners can trust for long-term use.

The Aqua SmartGuard offers a wider range of temperature selections. While most water dispensers have only cold and hot options, the Aqua SmartGuard has ambient, cold, hot, and extra hot water options. Its maximum volume storage and water capacity for cold and hot water are 1.4 liters and 1.3 liters, respectively.

The product’s innovative user interface and settings will suit digital-savvy homeowners. The intuitive UI and LCD make for easy use and programming. Customizable settings such as temperature setpoint optimization, UV timer, filter timer, filter life monitor, and energy-saving sleep mode ensure smart unit use.

Parents need not worry about their children’s safety when getting water because the unit also has a Child Safeguard selection that ensures the system defaults back to cold water after three seconds of inactivity to prevent accidental dispensing of hot water. The unit also includes a Leak Sensor and Alarm that halt supply to prevent overflow and reduce the risks of accidents.

Transforming drinking water in today’s Filipino homes

Filipino families obtain drinking water from different sources. Many rely on water refilling stations that offer drinking water on a per-gallon container. Others have installed water purifiers at home or bought bottled water. Contamination of jugs or filter replacements remains a concern in the first two cases. As for bottled water, rising prices delayed deliveries due to lockdown restrictions[1] and concerns about plastic pollution are a deterrent.

The Aqua SmartGuard addresses home drinking water supply needs and safety concerns with its advanced water purification system that uses a cutting-edge, proprietary purification technology to filter water. The unit’s high-performance carbon filters remove contaminants from the water source while retaining the essential minerals. Made from sustainably sourced coconut shells, the multilayer filter absorbs impurities as small as one micron, including chlorine and other common contaminants, leaving the water free of unpleasant tastes and odors.

Each Aqua SmartGuard unit is equipped with Waterlogic’s patented FirewallTM UVC technology that ensures each drop of water dispensed is purified by precisely targeted UVC light. This guarantees that every glass of water is 99.9999 percent bacteria-free, 99.99 percent virus-free, and 99.9 percent cyst-free. The FirewallTM UVC technology is also proven 99.999 percent effective against COVID-19.

Taking water safety a notch higher, Aqua SmartGuard water purifiers have silver-based BioCote® antimicrobial protection infused into the key surfaces, including the filters, drip tray, and dispensing nozzle, which reduces microbes by up to 99.5 percent.

“The water revolution has started in the Philippines. Our role is to provide homeowners with a reliable purification station at home that ensures safe drinking water and is convenient to set up and use just like the coffee stations families have to make sure they get their favorite morning drink. With the Aqua SmartGuard, more Filipinos can easily access and enjoy the health benefits of the world’s safest purified drinking water,” Goffe-Gomez added.

Aqua SmartGuard by Waterlogic is trusted by experts in the industry. Aside from successfully meeting the ISO 9001 and Energy Star standards, it has been recognized and certified by international health organizations such as the Water Quality Association (WQA) and the Water Regulatory Advisory Scheme (WRAS).

Aqua SmartGuard offers Total Care Service for unit installation, regular replacement of filters and UVC lamps, and maintenance, all included in the accessible monthly price of Php1,490. Visit smartguard.ph for more details.
