Now what i don't understand is how you restrict water from going in to the filter by turning the watertap off since the water from the main pipe is connected directly to the filter unit.
Appreciate if you could explain further. TQ

If you notice the picture og the drinking water tap, at the underside it has 3 hose.
It allows the tap to control water from the main water source to the filter AND it also control the flow from the filter to the drinking water tap it self AT THE SAME TIME. nod.gif

Oh.. i thot the tap is like ordinary tap.. so that means it a special tap that comes together with the filter unit. Is the tap compatible with other brand filters?

Renovation Updates :-

Water - the quest for clean residential household water

Finally after getting all my incoming water optimized, finally i come to the last and most important part, drinking water.

Water - Part 4:- POU (Point of Use ) - Drinking water

After doing my research here
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1918768/+780

I decided to go for filtered water and not RO or alkaline water.
My philosophy is do not need to go overboard, my ancestors has been drinking water with minerals, I'll do the same.  blush.gif
That being said, the water filtered must still meet good drinking water standard.
The standard being referred to by almost everyone is the NSF standard.
For the type of drinking water I am going for NSF 53 standard applies.

I researched around and most filter with (some without) NSF 53 certified cost RM2K and above  doh.gif
I finally found this rarely mentioned water filter product (from USA) .
Its NSF 53 certified (Double checked on NSF website), a very established brand in USA.
Got lots of good review from the net.
Can get the replacement filter cheaper if I get from Singapore.
Price works out to RM0.09/liter.
The Malaysian installers provide an additional ceramic filter (they say Malaysian water quality needs this).
The main plus point its the price. thumbup.gif

The water filters parts.

The underside of the drinking water tap, 3 pipe type (when the watertap is turned off/down, it also restrict water from going in to the filter, I understand that this water filter is not designed to work under constant water pressure)

The water source from the kitchen faucet under piping. Unattached for instalattion.

Attach a 3 way valve - to divert water to water filter

Water first goes through a ceramic filter (Doulton -from UK)

Then only to the main Aquasana water filter

Actually it cost more as I went for the under counter configuration RM799 is for top counter, without the drinking tap which will cost extra.

This is the sofa from Florentino. Designed by Italian designer. (Big photo of the guy on the showroom wall).
I've customized it a little by changing the back pillow to a bigger pillow from another Florentino sofa model. - I screwed up his design liao tongue.gif
With that change, the back pillow actually support up to my neck. laugh.gif
Most sofa I've tried feel kinda small, this is BIG. Kinda like 3 bed linked together, that is the main reason I choose this model. nod.gif
