Yes you can leave it at always on position, please use LG ThinQApp to set your preferred hour and date for auto high temp internal sterilisation.

There will be a down time of about 2hours (cleaning + resume of cold water), hence best to do set it at a time when no one is using the water purifier probably middle of the night.

If u want fast installation, white color is the one with most stock availability

All other colors are currently very low in stock, might need to wait 2~3 weeks for stock arrival then only can arrange installation.

Let me just share 3 pics of each color for the fellow forumers here to see

Just in case someone ask us to stop doing PMs again.
   

   

   

I think normal bro, these are mine, average 1 day 300Wh, but cuz i use more water

Every Sunday will use more electricity cuz it auto run the sterilisation function, usually our technician set it at Sunday midnight 

Everything is covered (filters, warranty, parts etc.), if anything breaks down, LG will fix it for u 

LG Puricare Korea got Beige and Green color   

Just not sure will come to Malaysia or not

The average per month energy usage is about 10kWh to 13kWh depends on your hot and cold water consumption rate. If mostly ambient water is used, then it will be around 10kWh or less.

even at 13kWh, considering the maximum tariff rate for electricity at RM0.57, it comes up to less than RM 8/day.

If your overall tariff band is not reaching the maximum tariff, your overall bill will be lower; generally tank based water purifier consumption is much higher than this as water is constantly being heated (keep warm) in a tank and cold water is kept cold using tank; LG also uses inverter compressor for  cold water, this offers maximum savings. From user experience, there has been reduction of at least RM20/month after switching to LG Tankless compared to other tank based water purifier systems.

Sorry yup RM8/month, sorry typo

I believe most users do not hit the highest electricity tariff bracket, like my case it's only RM4/mth of electricity 

Yes, buy outright cheaper by RM480 but 5 yrs lesser warranty

Rental
RM60 x 12 mths x 7 yrs = RM5,040 (Free 7 yrs filters and warranty)

Buy outright
RM3,200  (Free 2 yrs filters and warranty) + RM1,360 (5 yrs filter package only, no warranty) = RM4,560

But this is only if u buy 5-yrs filter package one-shot, if buy year by year, 1 year filter package is RM320

No la, LG do not deliver 5 yrs of filter one-shot to ur house for u to keep xD

U are just paying in advance for 5-yrs, but LG will still deliver 1 or 2 filters to u every 6 mths

So far the filtration tech are pretty mature, so from biz point of view I believe LG will try to use the same filters even for future water purifier models to minimize cost, but that's just my opinion, no one knows wat will happen in the future 

As for the water outlet sterilisation, yes, suggest do it once a month, cuz UV sterilisation only kills bacteria, but dust might still stick to the outlet over time

Just put a glass under so it catches the hot water while the water outlet is being flushed
With 5 year rental plan, customer gets to choose one of these at the end of 3rd year at no penalty/cost :
1) Continue using the current unit
2) Upgrade/Change to another model
3) Cancel and return the unit

So naturally with that flexibility, the 5-yrs plan will be more expensive than the 7-yrs plan where customer is tied for the whole 7 yrs

518 and 516 only 3 differences, prices are exactly the same:
1) 518 has 10ml volume control
2) 518 has favourite setting
3) 518 water outlet is fixed horizontally once installed (due to the square shaped design), 516 water outlet can be swing horizontally freely, both still have automatic up-down water outlet though 

Even though 518 offers 2 new functions, some of my customers still chose 516 cuz it's more convenient to fill up cooking pot etc.

Looking for an external water filter system for landed house...Any good recommendation ?

Will reduce the water pressure a lot ?

Don't have as you own the unit at year 7, but you can opt to sell it off at year 8 (not sure how much new filter cost then).

Also rental offers you 7 years of warranty vs 1 year with outright. Considering General warranty, rental makes better sense but some people intend to upgrade after 2 years. In this sense, outright cheaper. After 2 years you sell your unit via carousell of FB Marketplace and upgrade, but honestly all my purifier been used until End of Life.

Hi I am officially rent LG PuriCare WD516AN for 7 years





I have questions to ask

1. When I want to drink air suam, the installer said choose hot with 40 celcius, my question is what is the different between this hot 40 celcius and ambient drink?
At first I thought ambient drink was air suam,

2. My second question is LG ThinQ apps which show High temp sterilization and got Last internal pipe sterilization, Last water outlet sterilization & schedule internal pipe sterilization. My question is that same with the second photo on physical WD516AN which show Internal Sterilize = schedule internal pipe sterilization?

3. My third question is when I ask installer regarding schedule high-temp sterilization, he said the process took only 15 minutes to do this process? is it true?

4. What is the function outlet sterilize? Is is neccessary or must to do outlet sterilize because as I know is it not automatic like the internal sterilize and must do manual and when I ask the installer, he said is my decision to do or not

1 and 3 are both flushing with hot water, mainly to clean up any residue in the pipes or any dust on the faucet (since the faucet is exposed, flying dust may attach on it, even though UV alrd kill any bacteria, still need to clear the dust)
