The "Edge" Hybrid Water Purifier: Safe, Delicious Water at Your Fingertips
If you neglect the spout of the water purifier you use daily at home, bacteria can multiply there, ruining the purified water.—The "Edge" hybrid water purifier, certified by the prestigious Water Quality Association (WQA) in the US for removing 99.9999% of potential bacteria in water, has finally arrived in Japan. Despite its compact and stylish design at just 14cm wide, its portability allows you to enjoy safe and delicious water anywhere, anytime, as long as you have an outlet.

More Than a Purifier: Effortless Use Like an Appliance
While water purifiers often require installation work, such as direct connection to the tap, the "Edge" purifier is a tank-type model that can be used anywhere with an outlet. Simply fill the tank at the back of the unit with tap water, and you can enjoy safe and delicious water at any time.
The secret lies in its dual purification system: activated carbon filtration and UV (ultraviolet) light. Water filtered by the activated carbon filter inside the purifier passes through a spiral tube, where it is exposed to UV light from all directions.
Furthermore, it features a Firewall® (UV system) that irradiates UV light even at the spout's tip, which is most exposed to the air, preventing back-contamination. The design ensures water passes through UV just before dispensing, effectively blocking bacterial entry from the spout. This prevents slime buildup and eliminates the need for discarding water, allowing you to enjoy delicious water swiftly.
The Next Generation Water Purifier That's Kind to Your Wallet
While the cartridge replacement is the only maintenance needed, making it easy to use, the "Edge" purifier is also highly economical. Replacing bottled water with purified water from the "Edge" for two years, at approximately 6.7 yen per 550ml bottle (assuming 11 liters used per day), offers significant savings.
Compared to bottled water or water servers, it takes up less storage space and eliminates the need to dispose of bottles, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
