A PoE filter used as PoU prefilter Did search before too, wonder if the product are genuine or not.As for your concern about people stealing it, I'm of the opinion that petty thief is more interested in your branded snickers then dismantling a water filter. The only value left for the thief is the AP902 filter head as he wouldnt know for sure how long the cartridge has been used. 3M AP902 filter head is only RM32 in Taobao.

Sorry profiteers [attachmentid=9308418] Water has chlorine, since AP902 is just cloth and does not remove chlorine only remove sediments upto 5 micron. SO, if used as sediment filtration, u can use it until it gets clogged, 2 or 3 years also no problem. If this is mainly used as a drinking filter then definitely it is nothing compared to the proper filters like DWS1000 or Aquaphor eco or Espring as AP902 is just a basic sediment filter upto 5 micron while drinking filters 0.5 micron and below This post has been edited by zheilwane: Nov 7 2017, 11:47 AM |

QUOTE(thailover @ Nov 7 2017, 11:22 AM) Now my problem is I don't have much budget for the Outdoor Point Of Entry filter. Spent too much on renovation already. You already got one...your AP902 is a PoE. Move your AP902 outside and replace that space with a budget undersink PoU like Culligan IC-EZ-4 with certified NSF standards 42 & 53. See post# 1805Could you please recommend a decent good quality outdoor filter to me. Assuming a family of 5 consume 1ltr water every day x 365 days = 1,825 ltr Culligan IC-EZ-4 recommended best performance capacity is 1892 ltr, good enough for you ?? |

QUOTE(aeiou228 @ Nov 6 2017, 09:47 PM) Zheilwane Bro, I did some reading about Ultrafiltration membrane (UF) and found that UF can filter 0.01 micron pure water as clean as RO water or UV treated water but with lower maintenance cost, no water wastage and does not need electricity. May I know your Crystal ECO main filter K7B which is using hollow fibre membrane, are there same as UF ? Micro Filtration = 0.1 micronUltra Filtration = 0.01 micron RO Filtration = 0.001 micron Aquaphor Crystal Eco is using Hollow Fibre membrane categorize as micro filtration (0.1 micron) Our Multipore POE filter and many other membrane POE filter is the market are categorized as UF (ultrafiltration) 0.01 micron So common asked question, if we install Multipore Membrane as POE (0.01 micron) wont our POU Aquaphor Eco (0.1micron) become redundant? Answer is NO. UF can only filter sediments and bacteria down to 0.01 micron, but it is unable to filter VOCs, chemicals and etc etc such as chlorine. For those things, u need a good carbon filter. Even RO system with 0.0001 micron has to be coupled with a few carbon blocks to work properly. This reminded me of something. NSF standard 42 and 53 do not cover BACTERIA. So, a basic carbon block filter like those RM 500+ do not have bacteria filtration membrane or uv light. This post has been edited by zheilwane: Nov 7 2017, 12:03 PM |

I think to add a final stage UF filter to an existing NSF standard 42/53 certified undersink filter would be a good alternative to UV for those who doesn't have power point under the sink.

QUOTE(aeiou228 @ Nov 7 2017, 12:16 PM) Yes, head only. That's what I was saying, buy AP902 head from Taobao and buy ori cartridge locally at the total cost of RM600 instead of RM1.3K. The spec is very high. But Russian products can be trusted or not? Please share your views.2 years ok la, 3 years bacterial built up kaw kaw liao Thanks for the explanation.

QUOTE(thailover @ Nov 7 2017, 02:35 PM) Buy something u feel comfortable. If u r not comfortable with Russian Products then get 3M since u already got their AP902. We have spoken on the phone, i know you prefer branded stuff and that is why u got AP902 in the first place (not recommended by me and actually against my recommendation but already purchased, too bad). So, i do not wan to push you to get something u do not trust. For a peace of mind as what forumers suggested, get 3M. DWS2500 is the best spec under 3M. I can pre-order and still getting below market price This post has been edited by zheilwane: Nov 7 2017, 03:01 PM |

QUOTE(thailover @ Nov 7 2017, 02:35 PM) Regardless trusted or not, it's out of your budget.If you are on shoestring budget but need a reliable filter with certified NSF standard, I've already recommended you Culligan IC-EZ-4, USD51.29 sold and fulfilled by Amazon and it does ship to Malaysia. Remember to buy one or two spare cartridge @ USD29.75 and ship together. Find out the shipping cost and share it here. You can also buy Culligan IC-EZ-1 locally at RM122 @ AceHardware + Spare RC-EZ-4 cartridge @ 11Street for RM249. You can't use Panasonic because your present set up is undersink whereas Panasonic is a counter top filter. |

QUOTE(thailover @ Nov 7 2017, 02:35 PM) If you want trusted brand, go for those already established & with local support all over Malaysia.Who's going to help you to repair/service if your water filter malfunction? I believe a local support with immediate response is better then trial & error fixing it yourself. Furthermore within warranty period is FOC. Some water filter also offer lifetime warranty on cartridge replacement, this can avoid unnecessary expenses. |

QUOTE(thailover @ Nov 7 2017, 05:16 PM) Aik, earlier in post# 1829 you mentioned that you don't have much budget after spent on renovation. Therefore I replied to you based on what you had posted.Now that it's clear that your budget is 4k, I think your choice is aplenty. You basically just need a new PoU undersink filter to replace the AP902 and move your AP902 to outdoor as PoE. Just my personal opinion for optimum cost saving. |
