To know the water filter is good or not just look for 3rd party certification like NSF which is a global standard. What media is the filter made of? Carbon? Membrane? How many contaminants it can remove with black & white proof. When buy water filter, don't simply trust what salesperson told you, they can simply say anything they want, get proof from them to support their statements.

outdoor is to filter off dirt, if your house is new maybe you don't need it as long there is no slight color changes. If your incoming water is dirty then can consider to install outdoor filter. Indoor water filter is for drinking purpose so it must be a good one, otherwise no point to install it.

How high is your water pressure? Have you check it before?
Get eSpring which only will flow the water through the filter when you open your taps unlike other filters that have constant water flowing through filters, this type of filters must have pressure regulator.
Maximum working pressure for eSpring is 125 psi/860 kPa which is very high even with power pump also working fine. My house is using water pump (condo) without issue.

Hi saw some comments that Blondal is OEM in Malaysia? Is the brand origin from Switzerland? How is it overall?

Looking for water filter at home, what brand to recommend? Price not really a major concern

If you want to know is it a good filter, you can try to search from NSF that how many type of cert the filter have and how many contaminants it's really can filter. Google or YouTube can search many of the info, if the filter is less info, it mayb not so trusted.

would like to seek advise from Sifu here, saw this on Taobao and quite within my budget. Is this POE compatible and can install in Malaysia landed house? local plumber know how to install? Truly appreciate your advise.

just normal in and out only, ez job. but so small for POE, gonna get clogged fast

Yes... I'm one of your customers using Grundfoc water pump + Aquaphor crystal in kitchen tap for two years.. touch wood no issues so far.. Good product with affordable price!

Hi all, I have a possible unusual question for this thread. Whats the best option for someone on a budget? My budget is around 300 bucks max. Currently im considering Panasonic TK-CS20. Can't afford to get rm2k-3k good ones right now so have to make do with a cheap one for the time being (a year or maybe two).

Please advice.

No need change filter media?
Direct change a new 1 if clogged? The filter is so tiny, i don't think it can last long.

Move in new house?
For dirt and sediment removal the filter is good enough.

Thats why i seek advise from sifu here. even 3M or Everpure in taobao also have this kind of model.

Thanks bro

Yup, Aquaphor is not just a good filter but durable as well if it can withstand GRUNDFOS pressure, quite rarely it could burst due to over pressure

I have customers using other brands that crack. Hence they changed to aquaphor and so far so good, no negative feedback

outdoor i use kinetico fully imported from USA. auto backwash that dont need electricity for the timer as their auto-backwash is activated by amount of water use.

indoor - just use trusted brand like 3M

For your budget, the most value for money is 3M CTM-01. Tested in accordance to NSF standards 42 & 53. Reputable brand. Can get it in Lazada or 11street.
When first cartridge is due for replacement, replace it with NSF certified 3M C-complete replacement cartridge. Cheapest NSF standard 42 & 53 certified water you can buy.

Espring is a good.choice.
Since.espring whole.machine certified by NSF 42,53,55
Nsf Cleary show what.containment espring can filter

Also intelligent board tell you how much usage remain , is it function well. Very poweful

Plus, now got promotion and free water heater. You can pm.me ask.for demo also

Yeah was staying with family now moved into rental hse recently. At the moment no money to buy an expensive filter.

Sounds good and within budget, but the 3M C-Complete replacement cartridge seems like its being sold for almost RM300, wow. Seems expensive for replacement cartridge. Or am I looking at the wrong place?
Thanks for the suggestion ya!

If you are only concern about dirt and sediments, the panasonic is already good enough.

How much is the replacement cartridge?
remember someone posted cost of replacing cartridge for 3M vs Aquaphor vs Espring

Espring price is about RM4K right?
