The unit features a whale-inspired look that is elongated and low-slung, and works in an alternative manner to how most sparkling water makers function. The appliance works by having a bottle of H2O being positioned onto the blowhole section of the system to infuse CO2 into the water, create an effervescent drink and provide users with a charming experience that's a delight to watch. This makes it ideal for family homes to help surprise and delight children with a simple task. The conceptual 'Ocean Blast' sparkling water maker is the design work of Bokyeong Lee and Chunghee Joe.
