*The 99.99% sterilizing power of 'Internal Sterilize' & 'Outlet Sterilize' is the test result conducted by Korean test institutes KTL, KCL and KOTITI for representative model (WD505AW) based on the LG's internal
evaluation method. And there may be differences depending on the operating environment such as ambient temperature. (21.05).
- Test bacteria: E. coli, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa (3 types of bacteria were selected among indicator bacteria for evaluation of sterilization performance and drinking water quality standards)
- Test Methods
1) Floating bacteria: At an ambient temperature of 25±5℃, after
contaminating the internal pipe of the water purifier with water containing test bacteria, operate the sterilization function, and compare the degree of reduction in the number of viable bacteria before and after the sterilization function.
2) Adhesive bacteria: At an ambient temperature of 25±5℃, after forming a biofilm to the internal pipe of water purifier by attaching test bacteria for more than 5 to 7 days, operate the sterilization function, and compare the degree of reduction in the number of viable bacteria before and after the
sterilization function.
*The sterilization range is filter and the internal pipe from the filter to the water outlet.
