AESTRUC is a water purifier with a three-way Y-structured filtration mechanism, and a triangular body shape that allows it to be placed unobtrusively in corners.
The parts of the tri-section AESTRUC purifier system deliver hot, cold and ion water. Users can select the desired water type by rotating the Y-shaped purifier mechanism to the front. Then the user can check a short piece of information about the water selection that appears on the OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) window in the centre of the faucet. When a cup is put on the top of AESTRUC, a sensor detects its presence beneath the faucet, and automatically turns on the water pump. Unlike many other water purifiers, AESTRUC does not require the user to bend down, push buttons or pull levers.
The height of the pump moves up and down to allow AESTRUC to be used with variously sized glasses, cups or bowls. On the side of the body of AESTRUC is a red-indicator that confirms the condition of the filter. It also indicates whether the system is on or off with different colours. AESTRUC can be unobtrusively installed in the corners of rooms thanks to its triangular structure.
