Hereinafter, various embodiments of the selective cold / hot water purifier 100 in which the purified water, the hot water, and the cold water proposed in the present invention are completely discharged and individually controlled are derived will be described.

This embodiment is disclosed in connection with water supply reservations.

During the water supply reservation time, the water supply valve (11) is opened at low water level according to the water level sensor action of the water tank (3), and water is shut off while the water supply valve is blocked at the high water level.

When the water supply reservation is canceled, only the water supply valve is blocked and only the water supply water supply is interrupted.

Therefore, if the water supply valve 11 is shut off, water purification is performed to completely drain water from the water storage tank, and then a new purified water is supplied, so that contamination due to the water in the water storage tank and the propagation of germs can be solved.

2 to 3 in detail.

This embodiment is disclosed in connection with a hot water reservation.

The heater 18 is heated to a set temperature at a low temperature and the hot water valve 12 is opened so that the purified water is supplied to the hot water tank 4 at a set temperature of the temperature sensor, The hot water valve is shut off so that the purified water of the water tank is blocked from being supplied to the hot water tank, so that the high temperature of the hot water tank and the low temperature of the water tank do not cause the hot water tank to be clogged due to communication through the water supply pipe.

When the hot water reservation is released, the heater and the hot water valve are shut off and do not function.

When reserving the hot water, the hot water valve is opened to allow the hot water to flow smoothly.

The heater is turned on (heated) at a low temperature and turned off (released) at a high temperature according to the set temperature of the temperature sensor.

When making a hot water reservation, the hot water valve is turned ON for the heater ON and the hot water outlet is ON (opened).

Therefore, when the hot water valve is locked when the hot water reserving time is released, the hot water in the hot water tank is completely drained and the new purified water is supplied. Therefore, if the hot water of the hot water tank is not used for a long time, Do not save.

The cold water valve is locked so that water in the water tank is prevented from being supplied to the cold water tank through the cold water supply pipe. Thus, the low temperature of the cold water tank and the high temperature of the water tank prevent the temperature of the cold water tank from being lowered through the cold water supply pipe.

When cold water out reservation is made, the cold water valve is opened for smooth outflow of cold water.

The cooling motor does not operate at high temperature depending on the set temperature of the temperature sensor and does not operate at low temperature (off).

Therefore, if the cold water valve is turned off (locked) when the cold water reservation time is canceled, the cold water of the cold water tank becomes completely drained and the new purified water can be supplied.
