How much do they charge you for the full cleaning service? I'm considering the Diamond Outdoor Filter.. if the maintenance cost works out to be cheaper than the AP902.

Anybody got mixed-sand filter around RM5xx to recommend? Without carbon blocks/activated carbon?

Please share what trouble are there. I am actually considering to get a Diamond master filter.

Versus 3M AP902, 10 micron vs 5 micron, performance not as good, but Diamond can backwash, and can remove the filtron unit for washing, and if needed, replacement. Considering even the famed Waterco Micron W300 MkII only filters down to 10 micron, I don't think its that big of an issue. Cheaper in the long run versus AP902.

Versus sand filters, no risk of the sand media wearing out and going into the house and clogging the pipes.

Thanks for sharing. I agree on the membrane being a wear and tear item, which is fine, I'd be worried if it lasts forever. Backwash every week is alright for me.

Ok the water leaking issue is rather serious, I'll need to observe. Lately this Diamond master filter not that popular anymore, so don't see it at new houses. I guess need to visit "older" neighborhoods.

As an alternative, what do you recommend? Sand/media filters... I'm skeptical on most since it filters out chlorine, with the exception of Waterco & Kinetico. I only want to filter out chlorine @ POU. Plus and run the risk of the sand going in the house's piping when the media wears down. Kinetico don't have this issue I think, but the prices starts at RM2.8k

Yes I saw the inside of the Diamond Master Filter, and the amount of gunk it filters. It claims to filter down to 10 micron, which is good enough for me.

No doubt on Kinetico, but I am not willing to spend that much on a POE filter. Most likely I will get the SECURE Whole House Back Wash Water Filter System or the Diamond Master Filter. But if the Diamond leaks then it is a big problem.
