[LG Water Purifier] I see moisture on the insulator surface beneath the cover

Repair

Formation of moisture on the Styrofoam insulator inside the water purifier, or the discoloration of the insulation material do not affect the quality of drinking water.

This is due to the fact that plumbed-in (tankless) water dispensers are designed with a sealed structure that ensures the water's journey from the inlet, through the water pipes and filter, all the way to the outlet remains completely isolated.

LG PuriCare Water Purifier Instant cold water: A cooling method in which filtered water becomes cold as it passes through a cold stainless steel / Instant hot water: A heating method using IH technology, which involves the generation of heat using high frequency electromagnetic fields.

Moisture on the insulator is caused by environmental factors such as large humidity and temperature differences between indoors and outdoors or insufficient air circulation.

It is the same phenomenon as water condensing on a cold glass of ice in the hot summer months.
In the monsoon season, moisture may cause the white silicon on window frames to become discolored or cause mold formation on balcony walls.

Water purifiers equipped with a cold water feature have insulation (Styrofoam) on the upper side to keep the cooler's temperature low.

If there is a significant temperature difference between the cooler and the installation site, condensation can repeatedly form and evaporate.
This is a typical occurrence for all water purifiers with a cold water function.
