Doing. In other words, the cold and hot water machine is operating even during long idle time, which has been wasting unnecessary electrical energy.

In addition, the existing water purifier has a large capacity due to a single water tank and is connected to a cold water tank and a hot water tank, so that even if the reservation function panel 70 is provided, the water purifier may be heated or cooled to an appropriate temperature required by the user upon restarting after the reservation function is completed. Electric energy consumption was high because hot water heating time and cold water cooling time required for a long time.

Moreover, the conventional cold and hot water and cold and hot water purifiers have a large capacity as a single water tank, and the cold water tank and the hot water tank are connected as shown in FIG. 1, and the heat exchange means and cooling of the hot water due to the water tanks connected to each other at the time of use of the hot water and cold water. More motors are used to make the structure consume more electricity.

In particular, even with the reservation function, since the capacity of a single water tank is large, it takes a long time for the hot water heating and the cold water cooling to be restarted after a pause, and a switch for stopping the heat exchange means of hot water is installed at the rear, but it is inconvenient for use. There was a problem that you can not use most.

In the case of the clock driving method used in the conventional cold and hot water purifier and the cold and hot water purifier, it is a kind of a switch that is attached to all the electrical equipment outlets and automatically cuts off the input electricity.
