This water purifier was highly appreciated by the people in the flood-hit northern areas of North Hamgyong Province.

Prof. and Dr. Han Pong U, who is also a candidate academician, told KCNA:

The tourmaline water purifier changes ordinary water into the slight alkaline and reduced one with low association degree.
