If u install this external 1, it will clog much faster compared to the AP902 and u need to either change or clean it regularly, you are staying in condo or landed? If landed change to our latest membrane multipore to save cost and better filtration 0.01micron, if condo and no place for backwash then your only best option is AP902

Yup, regular UF membrane has several problems explained by our supplier and that is wht we didnt wanna sell it. With the new multibore design, my supplier say it is tested to be more durable. So, we sold 1 to a friend who insisted to get membrane filter due to the design, used for several months without clogging issue and good flowrate, so we started selling it in our shop. Upto date, feedback is very positive

Nesh is using hollow fibre membrane, similar to most brands in the market such as hydro1, aquarius, puregen and etc etc so many brands. So if u wan something better, u can try google on multibore membrane, this is the latest membrane design and claims that it is better than the previous hollow fibre

Ap easy complete recommended to change ever 6 months as labelled on the cartridge.



U change both filters yearly? most ppl dont change AP902 yearly, hence water is getting dirtier and AP EASY getting clogged faster.

If u r not staying in a condo, i suggest u change AP902 to an outdoor filter with backwash, also change AP EASY if u wanna save on maintenance cost.

AP902 replacement is RM 600
AP EASY REPLACEMENT is RM 300

cost per year is RM 600 + (RM 300 x2) = RM 1200, isnt that too costly?

ie :

Get A sand filter + Aquaphor eco indoor filter = RM 2299 + Free replacement x 1 set

First year : RM 2299 (Before trade in Promo)
Second year : FREE
Third Year : RM 420
Forth year : RM 420
Fifth Year : RM 420 + RM 380 (sand replacement)
Total RM 3939 for 5 years

If continue with your current filter is RM 1200 x 5 = RM 6000 almost 50% saving. Save more with trade in promo

Sand Vs AP902
Filtration wise AP902 is better and quite consistent if u change it every year but sand can backwash hence you dont need to change every year.
If u wan better filtration get MEMBRANE FILTER, they are the cleanest but not recommended if ur incoming pressure is weak. Recommended 2bar to 2.5bar is sufficient which most housing area do have.

AP Easy Vs Aquaphor
AP easy consist of a small carbon block with filtration of 0.5 micron, hence recommend to change 6 months compared to other 3M model (1 year). Aquaphor consist of 3 cartridges (2 bigger size carbon block + 1 hallow fibre memrane) with filtration 0.1 micron. So changing it = an upgrade in water quality and reduction in maintenance cost

If u are staying in a condo, unable to install those big filters with backwash, then add this (as per video for RM 150) before your AP902 to pro-long the lifespan and change AP EASY to upgrade the filtration and lower maintenance cost.

depending on water quality & usage, i do it 1 to 2 weeks once. If the backwash water is not too dirty, u can drag it longer til the next backwash

mine is estimated 10 - 15 minutes, once water is clear, i switch to rince awhile then backwash again to ensure it is really 100% clear.

I backwash 10-15min until water clear, switch to rinse 1 min, then switch back to backwash, sometimes water turn yellowish, then i let it backwash awhile may b 2 min til clear again. then rinse. Rinsing usually few minutes only, then water is clear nt as dirty as backwash

yup but i only sell 10" diameter model and price is much lower compared to alphamax. As per your photo, their 8" model is selling RM 2k++ while my 10" is less than that...

may b can share some photo of ur filter, the rocket type? RM 500 is a little exp as for 10" diameter we usually charge RM 380

dont fully trust the spec as it also depends on your incoming water pressure. For example a grundfos pump cm3-5pm1 can pump 3000L per hour MAX. Main water supply usually is weaker than a water pump. May b u get 1.5 - 2k L/h. SO, if your incoming is 1500L/h but water filter indicate 3000L, u cant get 3000L. that is why i notice most sellers just cincai put a figure only

in general, if u wan higher flow get sand filter, if u wan cleaner water get membrane filter

manually fill up a bottle of water and check how many L per minute u get or buy a meter gauge to test pressure

As when there is a warranty claim, customers usually will contact me. So, from my experience more than 10 years selling both sand and membrane filters, sand filter is the most durable and least maintenance.

zeolite have been in market many years, mainly used by waterco, some OEM brands add in zeolite also nowadays. not a new tech.

micro z from perfect steel is finer than regular zeolite


sample of zeolite from waterco


"For many years the standard granular media used to reduce sediment were “multi media” combinations featuring such ingredients as garnet, anthracite, and sand. These mixed bed filters usually resulted in filtration down to 10 to 15 microns.

More recently, high purity zeolite has become the medium of choice for sediment filtration. Modern zeolite filters achieve a 5µ nominal rating, with a couple of brands claiming to be even tighter.
There are some 40 known types of natural zeolites. The most common is clinoptilolite.

Commercially, clinoptilolite is marketed for residential filtration under such brand names as ChemSorb, Micro Z, and Turbidex. It has a GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) classification and most brands have NSF Standard 61 certification to assure that they are adding nothing objectionable to the water."

perfect steel and alphamax under same manufacturer. Approximately 3-4kg

This post has been edited by zheilwane: Mar 6 2020, 03:16 PM

from what i know it does not remove chlorine, the only effective media to filter chlorine is carbon

recently many forumers PM me asking the same question, is the perfect steel in shopee same as the 1 i m selling. i would say NO. this is why

If you guys read back all these years, many compared Perfect steel with Alphamax, yes they are the same as same manufacturer and both comes with micro Z media + locally made 304 grade body, super durable. While the 1 in shoppee u can c all the info copy paste only, a little from perfect steel, a little from waterco. then just stick a sticker on the filter, sell it at Perfect Steel price

Perfect Steel is costly due to the heavy duty of the casing/housing, fittings and valve. How much can the sand cost, no matter Zeolite or MicroZ, wont cost rm 1k right, the expensive part not the media but the quality & durability

Advantages of MicroZ media also known as micro zeolite

Reduces backwash frequency
Removes finer particles
Provides better flow rates
Light weight, reduces backwash time




Comparison with a sample of a lower grade filter bought from another seller, not shopee or lazada

i usually recommend sand filter, less problem. If area with high chlorine or smell, a little carbon is OK, help to reduce not totally eliminate chlorine.

bacfree is good jus too bulky and exp

u need to backwash the filter after water rationing, as the water coming out after supply cut is usually super dirty. Same goes for sand filter

impossible ahah. do u notice slight pressure drop or water not as clean as brand new? if yes, time to change

Nope, you need carbon to remove chlorine. Staying in landed or condo? or landed u need the chlorine as water will be stored in a tank. For condo u can filter chlorine as water direct enter in to bathroom and kitchen

Best outdoor filter to reduce chlorine more than 90% and more than 100 types of contaminants, Aquaphor Viking PRO latest 2023 model (recommended only for Condo)
