I type kinetico.com.my leads me to http://solartech.com.my
sounds pretty good.  price must be at least 3M's range.

their outdoor unit Mach has twin tank, and does not need backwash  rclxub.gif  (10 years warranty)
indoor unit has Macguard, K2, and K5

anyone mind to share their experience with kinetico?

solartech is the local agent for kinetico
it does backwash! the "timer" depends on your water usage.
the timer does not need electricity to run.

mine works well, but then my area water really clean. the backwash water come out also clear 1

wrt kinetico....

how often does the auto-backwash occur? 2x a day?
if too often then the cost of backwashing will be high....
*
auto backwash twice a day?

in my 7 years of using it, I think I have only seen it backwash twice maybe three times....
I am sure it is more than that, just that I wasnt around to witness it. my water usage is also very low
my water bill is zero every month biggrin.gif

the backwash is set according to how much water you use. you can reset it to more or less frequent

water is water, never try to change or add additives. What we want is clean water that suitable to drinks by removing contaminants only.

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  sweat.gif

Those Diamond filters - stay away from them. Anything else is better. Have you seen the inside of one, what they use for the filter media? Its like a piece of cloth or gunny sack.
I having been using Kinetico for almost 10 years. No need power for auto backwash. No problems whatsoever. When I changed house, I even took it along with me to my new condo.

Any backwash sand filter will be better.
