SK Magic said Tuesday it has launched a new product, the “MEGA ICE ice-making water purifier,” aimed at meeting summer demand for ice.
The company said the model focuses on ice quality and can produce “mega ice” cubes of about 25 grams — more than twice the size of typical cubes of about 11 grams. It said a single dispense can fill a large cup, and that the firm, clear ice melts more slowly to help keep drinks and foods tasting fresh longer.
SK Magic said the unit can make up to 5.7 kilograms of ice per day in mega mode and includes a 1.1-kilogram ice room for ample supply in summer. It also has a button to dispense ice only and an “ice water” button that dispenses ice and water at the same time.
On hygiene, the company said it applied an all-stainless, direct-water pipe system across all water lines to resist contamination and corrosion. It said its “five-layer safety care” system includes triple UV care for the ice room, UV care for the dispensing area and spout, electrolyzed-water care for the direct-water pipe, and circulation care for the water path.
The company said the ice room is designed to be replaceable, allowing users to swap a part they cannot easily inspect, and called it a new benchmark for hygiene in ice-making water purifiers.
SK Magic said the design won the 2026 iF Design Award, one of the world’s three major design awards, citing a “layer design” inspired by clear ice.
An SK Magic official said the product “goes beyond the limits of existing ice-making water purifiers” by addressing ice size, ice quality and hygiene. The official said the company will provide a care service that replaces the MEGA ICE ice room free of charge every year to reduce hygiene concerns.
