Thanks Zheilwane for the explanation, what is your opinion on Culligan IC-EZ-4 water filter?
*
Culligan just single cartridge carbon block, so cannot filter bacteria also. Dont know how is the inside, never cut it open, could be similar to 3M AP easy complete. For jus a single cartridge filter = basic filter = best to boil.

Here is a sample of what is inside the filters. I also got shock, when i c carbon block size in AP easy complete.

what is the cheapest solution for water filtering with direct drinking water?
*
From online research minimum you need a 0.2 micron filtration to filter bacteria. Based on online reviews and research the 3 popular brands

1) Aquaphor - Crystal Eco (RM 1500)
2) 3M - DWS 2500 (Estimated RM 2600-2900)
3) Amway - Espring (Estimated RM 3k+)

If we add a pre filter before panasonic, then will it help significantly?
*
Prefilter can prolong the life of the main filter and also prevent clogging but need to clean regularly. However, due to the small amount of granular carbon in the filter, we wouldnt know how long it could last in filtering contaminants like chlorine, may b can only last 3 months or 4 months, we wouldnt know unless we get a chlorine tested to test, so best to boil.

Saw this video when i was researching on water filter, think it is kinda useful, there are several other related videos also posted by this guy.
https://youtu.be/NFzminf8L1Q

Info explain in several of his videos
1) Tested RO membrane 0.0001 micron (80% chlorine just pass through it), so just one membrane filter alone is not good enough, must mix membrane and carbon block

2) The more the amount of carbon block, higher the capacity to filter chlorine. Some can last 4 months some 6 months, depending on the quality of the block.

3) Different area got different water problem, no1 will test what is in their water supply, so just buy the best filter to be safe.

Many of my customers actually upgraded to Aquaphor Crystal Eco as they are not happy with cleaning the ceramic filter and worry on the water quality.

aquaphor is RO water? doesnt seem so from the tech

Aquaphor DWM 101 is RO system (0.0001 micron) which i dont intend to sell in malaysia yet. Will need more testing.

Aquaphor Crystal Eco is my current best seller is not RO system and with 0.1 micron filtration, it will not filter off minerals but can filter bacteria.

Bought Aquaphor Crystal Eco from bro Zheilwane. Friendly guy to deal with, courier the item to Labuan somemore.

Installed the filter in the livingroom, connecting to own water dispenser instead of the tap. See the pic. Previously using the local 5 gal water bottle. After changing over, the water tastes really fresh and pure from Aquaphor! Quite satisfied with it. Thanks bro!

WOW good job bro smile.gif Thanks for your support and appreciate it a lot.

First customer in Labuan smile.gif

Just check what is inside their filters, how many micron is the filtration after comparing, you will know whether it is a good buy or not smile.gif Can also bring catalog to my shop to compare with Aquaphor

Most customers prefer to get a slim modern design water dispenser and because of that there is limited space to install proper water filtration system in the water dispenser.

Why pay so much for a water dispenser with just a basic filter? You could opt to buy a good filter and then add a cheap water dispenser without filter as per photo for few hundred ringgit only smile.gif

Now you could have one filter for two outlets
1) Dedicated Faucet for cooking and drinking
2) Water Dispenser for Hot water

I believe most of you who are using water dispenser find it troublesome to get high volume of water for cooking like soup and etc. We cant put the pot or big jug for it to fill up by itself under the water dispenser.
For cooking purpose, the dedicated filter tap is more convenient.

So guys, I'm currently living in a condominium now as tenant. I've got a question about the Diamond Water Purifier.
There are 3 "purifying bottles" that I've seen on the sink which are A, B, C. I seen the A and C "purifying bottle" has never been change while B has been change as the latest date is 2017, while A and C is 2013.
Is it safe to change just the "purifying bottle" B? I'm aware that the house owner is a bit stingy though.
The main reason why I ask is due to the fact that I always get cracked lips when I come back to KL from Sarawak. I'm aware about the El-Nino that's currently happening in peninsular but I've been drinking the water the I boiled for safety lately(it's been 3 days) and my lips aren't cracking anymore.
Is it possible the water hasn't been purified properly due to the reason the "purifying bottle" not being changed? Or it's just that all of the "purifying bottles" has been changed but the covers has not?
*
As per the photo it is granular carbon. From what i know carbon filters are best to change minimum once a year to maintain the efficiency of the filtration and also to prevent bacteria grow inside the filter. If it is 2013, overdue 3 years already, definitely it is not good already and possible lots of bacteria inside.

Would like to check outdoor water filter beside Bacfree, any other brands which is performing as good as them?
I do not require those filter with certs or going in detailed of the microns.
All I need is clean water (non-yellowish) and hassle free outdoor filter (no need to change or service yearly).

Hope some of you can recommend as Bacfree is abit too pricey as it is selling outdoor unit at RM4k+.

I am selling perfect steel for less than rm 2k, size is compact and easy to use. Filtration rate 5 micron as well

Anyone using Diamond Coral series?
I had been using the 6 filter for 6 yrs and now its a new system. Is it good?
thinking of trying other brand.
*
From what i know, Diamond current advertising on the natural media used in their filtration system. FYI popular filtration system like 3M, Amway and Aquaphor uses Carbon Block system which is made of coconut shell = natural media also.

Why Diamond require many cartridges because they are giving granular carbon block while better filter will give carbon block (compressed carbon). 1 cartridge of carbon block is better than 5 cartridge of granular carbon.

2) 3M DWS 2500 (RM 2900)
3) AMWAY Espring (Estimated RM 3,800 need to ask amway seller for latest price)

Maintenance cost per year
1) RM 450
2) RM 900
3) RM 500 (also need to check with amway seller)

I am only selling 3M and Aquaphor, between these two if u ask me i will say get Aquaphor Crystal Eco

Where did you install that blue filter? That's for the other water in the house rite, e.g. shower? Coz for condo or apartments, cant install that at the meter.
*
Usually install near to water meter, you have to check with condo management or plumber where to install it if cant install in meter room.
