A new kind of water cleaning equipment has been made in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), the country's official media reported Wednesday.

The magnetizing water filter, which "consists of filter bar, permanent magnet, air-tight gear and others," was developed by the technical preparation center of the Electrical Machinery Industrial Management Bureau under the Ministry of Machine-Building Industry.

According to the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), this equipment can "completely" eliminate the pathogenic germ and provide clean water.

Furthermore, it is useful for prevention and treatment of "diseases in nerves, blood vessel and digestive system and skin," said the KCNA, adding that it also has a special effect "for health and the prevention of aging."

Now, manufactured are two kinds of filters, which are capable of respectively filtering 60 liters and 120 liters per hour, the KCNA said.
