What are the problems if install UF membrane filter with 0.01 micron? Plan to get one outdoor filter but not really keen on sand filter.

Ok, at first you said:
And when i asked, you throw tantrum and replied with this (maybe you felt frustrated after knowing that i would not be your potential customer)

It's kinda stupid, don't you think so? ☺

Well, if you read through all the 15 pages, post #282 is the only post that zheilwane mentioned about UF low pressure issue and "other problems". That's why I asked for more details.

If he is lazy to answer, then don't put something like "ask us if you want to know more". This is the purpose of a forum, for us to learn and discuss things. If we can google everything then what's the point of having a forum?

Just curious what's gone through your mind, no hard feeling

I saw it at the home fair here two weeks ago too. Outside filter is using UF membrane right? You need to be very careful about the pressure drop after the membrane filter. If your house water pressure is not strong enough, better get the traditional sand filter.

Btw, the price can be easily negotiable to RM 2000 if you really want it (my friend who sells another brand told me).

I saw it at Home Fair in Kuantan here.

Do not trust them blindly. I checked their FB page, the so called "promo price" actually remained since one year ago. You don't have to rush to make decision. RM 2400 is not cheap.

Do more research first. The problems if you are getting from them which I could foresee are:

1. Very hard to get them to service your filter since they don't have the service centre at your place (of course they will say they cooperate with bla bla bla companies, but those companies normally won't take you seriously if you don't get from them).

2. As you mentioned, your house water pressure is not strong, so if you install a membrane filter, you will have more problems eg. water cannot go into water tank, even lower water pressure etc.

3. Membrane filter maintenance cost is very expensive. RM 700 just to replace the membrane.

Think carefully and do not be pushed by them to make rushed decision.

For my case, I ended up getting my outdoor sand filters + indoor mineral water machine from another water filter supplier which has office based in here.

I got mine from Pure Tech. Refer here:

http://panpages.my/listings/my710588-puretech-sales-services

Puretech 6Filter (Mineral Water system) - for indoor
Sandfilter 1044 - for outdoor

Total RM 1800

Maintenance for sand filter is easy. Just do backwash once every 3 days. Change the media every 4 years. Rm400

For the indoor filter, need to wash the ceramic filter once per month. Other cartridges, some need replacement every 14 months, some every 24 months. Price around rm 90 - 100 per cartridge.

For mine, they will call me automatically when it's time for replacement since they have our records.
