Samsung Launches AI-Powered Water Purifier With Built-In Ice Maker in South Korea
Samsung’s Bespoke AI Ice Water Purifier is a South Korean launch combining four-stage filtration, hot and cold water, and an integrated ice maker. Here is what its AI features, pricing, maintenance and availability actually mean.
Samsung launched its Bespoke AI Ice Water Purifier in South Korea on February 23, 2026. The appliance combines filtered hot, cold and ambient water with an integrated ice maker rated for up to 8 kg of ice per day. Its “AI” features primarily optimize sterilization timing from usage patterns and personalize dispensing through voice recognition; they do not amount to autonomous water-safety testing.
There is currently no verified U.S. launch, U.S. price or U.S. installation support for this standalone purifier. Samsung’s U.S. announcements refer instead to refrigerators with water and ice dispensers.

What Samsung launched
The product is officially called the Bespoke AI Ice Water Purifier (Bespoke AI 얼음정수기). Samsung’s Korean materials identify the core model family as RWP90H15AN*, including the RWP90H15ANC and RWP90H15ANW.
It is different from a Samsung refrigerator with an ice dispenser and from Samsung’s RWP70F15ANW Bespoke AI water purifier, which does not have the same ice-maker positioning. The purifier integrates water filtration, heating, chilling and ice production in one appliance.
Note: This product is square, not round. Replacement for DA97-17376B (HAF-QIN), not compatible with DA29-00020B (HAF-CIN). The Waterspecialist refrigerator water filter features filtration performance is comparable to the original brand. It is also certified by authority NSF 42 and 372. Far different from generic brand, Waterspecialist only adopts superior coconut shell carbon block to improve taste and odor.
Great filtration: Waterspecialist refrigerator filters can reduce many harmful substances in water including heavy metals, mercury, chlorine, odor, THM, VOCs (volatile organic compounds), particles, copper, cadmium, chromium, and all other major impurities. This has been tested and proven by an independent third-party laboratory. While the impurities are reduced, every beneficial mineral in your water is kept, ensuring that your body functions properly.
Premium filter material: Waterspecialist selected BPA-free and food-grade filter housing that passed NSF 372 certification for lead-free filtration. We also adopt natural coconut shell carbon block that contains larger surface area and more micropores. Thus, the filter cartridge can efficiently reduce chlorine, bad taste and odor.
Perfect fit: Waterspecialist combines precision measurement technology to produce refrigerator filters with exquisite engineering designs, unlike inferior replacement filters that can cause water leakage issues. Also, Waterspecialist saves you time and hassle by offering tool-free refrigerator filter replacements.
Fresh-tasting water: The natural coconut shell carbon block absorbs more impurities. The Waterspecialist refrigerator filter provides you a unique filtration experience.
Samsung reported a Korean launch price of ₩2.39 million. That figure is tied to the Korean market and launch promotions, not a confirmed international retail price.
This is schedule optimization, not a system that independently tests every contaminant, validates water safety or replaces filter changes and physical cleaning.
Voice ID and Bixby
Voice ID can recognize up to six users. Each registered user can save preferred water volume and temperature settings, then request dispensing through Bixby. Account, SmartThings, network, language and regional support may affect which voice functions are available. Voice control is a convenience feature, not evidence of more effective filtration.
Ice-making capacity
Samsung rates the purifier for up to 8 kg of ice per day. Its storage capacity is up to 800 g, described as approximately 100 ice pieces; Samsung’s launch wording also refers to roughly 1,000 pieces per day.
Superior Contaminant Removal: Samsung Genuine Water Filter eliminates over 99% of numerous potentially harmful contaminants, using a high grade carbon block
Clean and Clear Water Quality: Delivers clean, clear water that looks and tastes great and protects the components of your refrigerator from potential sediment
Long-Lasting Performance: Reduce contaminants, ranging from chlorine to asbestos, for up to six months from the date of installation, depending on water quality and use
Easy Installation Process: Slim design allows for easy installation and removal with no tools required
Wide Model Compatibility: Compatible with following Samsung Refrigerator models: REFSVC, RF260BEAESR, RF260BEAEWW, RF261BEAESR, RF263BEAESR, RF263TEAESR, RF323TEDBSR, RF4267HABP, RF4267HARS, RF4267HAWP, RF4287HABP, RF4287HARS, RF4287HAWP, RF23J9011SR/AA
These are manufacturer specifications rather than independent real-world measurements. Actual production depends on ambient and incoming-water temperature, usage frequency, installation conditions and whether the storage compartment is already full. An “up to 8 kg” rating does not mean 8 kg will always be produced or immediately available.
The purifier uses a four-stage system consisting of a sediment filter, pre-carbon filter, UF filter and plus-carbon filter. Samsung says the system removes 82 types of harmful substances and identifies NSF certification for the stated filtration claims. The surfaced Korean material says the certification period began December 22, 2025, for five years.
Those claims should be read narrowly. Certification applies to specified products, claims and test conditions; it does not mean the appliance removes every possible contaminant or makes flood-affected, contaminated-well or advisory-affected water safe to drink. Buyers should match the exact RWP90H15AN* model and the relevant claims against the applicable Samsung certification and product information before relying on a particular contaminant-removal claim.
Other hygiene features include:
Automatic emptying of residual water in the direct-water pipe approximately every four hours when the purifier is not being used.
A stainless-steel direct-water pipe, detachable outlet and stainless-steel front panel.
A fully removable outlet spout intended to make internal cleaning easier.
An outlet-cleaning reminder approximately every two weeks.
Manual or SmartThings-controlled sterilization options.
These features do not make the appliance maintenance-free. Filters still need replacement, the outlet and ice compartment still need inspection and cleaning, and subscription service terms may differ from outright ownership.
Water controls and kitchen features
Samsung advertises water volume settings from 50 ml to 1,000 ml in 10 ml increments. Temperature can be adjusted in five-degree increments up to 90°C. The purifier can store up to 20 dispensing recipes or presets, including coffee settings and 38 ramen-related recipes.
The front display provides weather information and timer functions, while smart lighting around the water and ice outlets is designed to help with dispensing in dark conditions. Exact presets, languages and software features may vary by model or region.
What you get in this AQUA CREST refrigerator water filter is an excellent prior filtration performance that stands on par with what you get from the original brand, backed by the standard NSF 42 and 372 certifications. Unlike the generic brands, our refrigerator water filter relies on the 100% superior coconut shell carbon block to get rid of different types of impurities from your water.
𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝: AQUA CREST water filters can reduce such a wide range of harmful substances at a go including suspended particles, copper, VOCs, THM, chromium and chlorine from your drinking water. An independent third-party laboratory has verified this claim.
𝐈𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐢𝐭: The precise production technology adopted by AQUA CREST in this refrigerator water filter means you get a perfect fit, just like the original scale. Besides, AQUA CREST ensures that this DIY process will not take you more than a few minutes.
Price and subscription math
Samsung’s Korean promotion showed the RWP90H15ANC at a benefit price of ₩2.39 million. It also showed an example 72-month subscription of approximately ₩26,680 per month, before or subject to qualifying card benefits. The example contract total was ₩3,072,960.
The monthly figure should not be treated as the normal purchase price. Before signing, check:
The full scheduled payment total.
Whether a card discount requires minimum monthly spending.
Whether filters are delivered or replaced by a technician.
What labor, parts, sanitation visits and repairs are covered.
Ownership, early-termination and service obligations.
Whether installation or delivery attracts an additional fee.
Samsung’s campaign showed six-year service and filter-management options, but promotions and terms can change. The current Korean subscription page should be treated as the controlling source at checkout.

Publicly surfaced information does not establish a complete universal specification table for dimensions, electrical requirements, water-line connections, drainage, clearances or installation fees. Before ordering, confirm the model-specific installation guide and verify:
Counter, cabinet and door clearance.
Water-line and electrical-outlet requirements.
How residual water is handled.
Access to the front, ice room and service components.
Whether the placement is countertop, integrated or built-in in the intended sense.
Local delivery, installation and warranty coverage.
A combined purifier and ice maker offers more convenience than a water-only unit, but it also has more mechanical, refrigerated and water-contact components that can require service. Do not place it where cabinetry prevents technicians from reaching the appliance.
The documented launch is South Korean. Model suffixes, colors, installation arrangements, warranty coverage and software support may differ elsewhere. Samsung’s U.S. announcement covers Bespoke AI refrigerators with water and ice features, including Sphere Ice; that is not evidence that the standalone RWP90H15AN* purifier is sold in the United States. See Samsung’s U.S. appliance announcement.

International buyers should not convert ₩2.39 million into a supposed U.S. retail price. Exchange rates do not establish local taxes, installation, parts availability, warranty support or official distribution.
The strongest fit is a South Korean household that uses substantial quantities of ice, wants hot, cold and room-temperature water from one appliance, and will use SmartThings, programmable dispensing or Bixby. It may also replace a separate countertop ice maker and reduce reliance on bottled water.
It is a weaker choice for someone who only needs basic filtered water, rarely uses ice, dislikes connected appliances or six-year subscriptions, rents a property without suitable plumbing, or lives outside a supported service market. Samsung’s RWP70F15ANW water-only purifier may be a more economical alternative for buyers who want connected dispensing without integrated ice production.
LG also lists a PuriCare AI Objet Collection ice water purifier in Korea, while Coway has an Icon Ice Water Purifier product line. The available information does not establish directly comparable current prices or specifications for those alternatives, so feature or cost parity should not be assumed.
Verdict
Samsung’s meaningful innovation is the combination of high-capacity ice making, configurable hot and cold dispensing, and hygiene scheduling in a single Korean-market appliance. The AI label is real but narrower than it may sound: it mainly describes usage-based sterilization timing and personalized voice control. Buyers should evaluate the purifier as a complex water-and-ice appliance, compare total subscription costs, confirm installation and service access, and avoid treating Samsung’s filtration claims as universal water-safety protection.
