I've done the calculations.

My water boiler consumes 2000W and can get the job done in 10 minutes, therefore 2000W x (10/60)/1000=0.333kWh

it will be 0.333kWh x 0.218 = RM 0.0726

I use it 3 times per day throughout a month.

That means it is 0.0726 x 3 x 30=rm6.50

I have 5 person staying in this house. Therefore, I don't think it is wise to save on this considering safety issues.

How many liters of water are you talking about?

Vast majority of water filter do not kill virus and bacteria. Boiling does. Big difference.

emm.. how calculate ..
2000*/100 *7/60 *0.218

Funny you should come up with that figure. I have just calculated the cost of Amway UV light used to kill viruses and bacteria and it comes to 5 sen per liter as well, making those UV light thing very cost competitive indeed minus the hassle of boiling. That is excluding the filtration which will add another 5 sen. Making about 10 sen per liter.

1000 yrs ago, there were no pesticide and so many carcinogenic things in water. So best use solid charcoal filter.

Now you still get 'dump' somewhere upstream plus pesticide.
