QUOTE(aeiou228 @ Jan 1 2019, 10:36 PM) Yeah, or perhalps you can use metal saw to cut the neck holder nicely so that in future you can glue it back if you wish to revert back to CTM cartridge. Yea i mean assemble it, is it worth it i mean itry to build a 3 stage 10 inch filter but wondering which filter to be usedCan't build but can buy the various components and assemble it. Been there done that  |

QUOTE(aeiou228 @ Jan 2 2019, 10:03 AM) My DIY 3-stage standard 10" housing. https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=81965725 But my DIY housing doesn't conform to NSF material standards, so I bought a better material quality system with double O ring from hestati. You can buy the following cartridges for the 3 stages :- Stage 1. Pentair 1micron PP sediment from Home Pro around RM15 for 3pcs. Stage 2. Fresca disruptor to filter bacteria and viruses. Stage 3. Matrikx CTO carbon block, about RM40.  what the difference for the housing conform to NSF material standard or not? the housing from hestati is how much... coz he on holiday cannot ask him... ur configuration this stage 1 2 3 can direct drink without boiling? |

QUOTE(kyle_kl @ Jan 2 2019, 05:08 PM) Do you mean all 3 cartridges should be changed every 1-1.5 years? yes coz they say no matter how good the filter is... the bacteria or dirt will start to grow inside...Currently using crystal eco which come with 3 cartridges, 1 year+ already. |

QUOTE(aeiou228 @ Jan 2 2019, 08:22 PM) Kindly pm him for pricing. Mine is Taiwan made, not US made. But compare to my DIY system, this Taiwan made looks far better material quality and it comes with double O ring. Double O ring can fasten the housing effortlessly to make a perfect seal, no more two three times attempts to properly seal the housing as in single o ring housing. I also found taiwan nsf from taobao, guess i will copy your 123 stage for my gf homeActually, I added Culligan Ez4, a NSF stannard 42 & 53 certified cartridge as 4th and final stage. Yes, drink from the tap. Still thinking my current Aquasana need to change this or not Where to buy the stage 4 filter? If dont have stage 4 cannot direct drink?

QUOTE(hestati @ Feb 13 2019, 01:23 PM) Thanks! i ask my work contractor to drill for me... actually we drill 3 holes in total... How did you manage to drill this 10cm concrete to install the faucet and the tube feeding the dispenser? We rarely drill these because there could be iron rods inside. Was not an issue for you? 1. main water tap go down the cabinet (old house the tap outlet on top of the concrete table) 2. faucet 3. tube feed dispenser for these type of concrete top, normally the steel rod spacing is very far apart (10 cm-15 cm apart), only drilling the tiles top need to extra careful coz not to break the tiles... else is no problem... if your installer drill and hit the steel rod, just pull out and drill another hole like 2 cm apart (as rebar normally is 12mm diameter max), the wrong hole just seal it very epoxy seal (explain to them before drill la) anyway the cabinet installer forget to drill hole for the cabinet and we have to punch the holes ourselves actually i did the same at my kl house (drilling 2 holes), and cut the existing concrete slab for the hob installation (this one more troublesome)... |

QUOTE(hestati @ Feb 13 2019, 05:15 PM) Thanks! Yeah, drilling these is always a challenge, our contractors charge more for concrete. for tile surface another type of drill bits... if quartz or marble then i think another drill bits... they should know it... |

QUOTE(kazekage_09 @ Feb 20 2019, 01:20 PM) Hi there, just wandering is there any product out there that can replace my espring? I like espring but would like to try other brand if they affordable and provide safe drinking water. Espring cartridge is quite expensive plus their tubing claimed was made by natural ingredient thus they not durable and need to be replace frequent also. espring is gold standard for its price but i wonder doubt its quality..... i wonder u can sell out your body to other people to recover your investment or not....Been eying on coway products but things with coway I not sure how safe is their filtration system. But their cold hot water features is nice. And I also don't know they got nsf certified or not like espring. So is there other brand that is affordable, easy to get parts/cartridge, easy to assemble/disassemble, got nsf certified, and got hot and cold function would be a big plus. |

QUOTE(hestati @ Feb 21 2019, 03:07 PM) I don't have any experience with that, one thing is for sure though, it is not Dow membrane there. Dow does not even make membranes with this flow rate. Maybe it is "Dow Technology" membrane or something like that. But, to be honest, if you want a ready RO only solution right now, there is nothing that can compete with this Xiaomi thingy, at least on paper. Every other RO system will be like 5x the price or made of crappy components, like Kent. The only risk is that I heard it was a huge flop for them from business point of view, so they may discontinue it soon and here goes your replacement cartridges and membranes. why RO not popular in malaysiaRO is not very popular in Malaysia, this is why there are not many offers. We thought about bringing Morion by Aquaphor, but so far had 0 inquiries about it, though it is reasonably priced and got full NSF. |

Our minister drink tap water straight from the tap, claps for him |

QUOTE(hestati @ Apr 14 2019, 12:26 PM) Housings problems: how to check the bottom of housing where water just passes by?Number 1: After investigation we saw that the way housing is designed, water can easily bypass the cartridges I gave him. So we took out the old cartridges and checked - same thing, no seal, there is a spot on the bottom of the housing where water just passes by. |

QUOTE(hestati @ Apr 22 2019, 06:56 PM) Sorry, the picture is not clear, but it is hard to take a picture inside the housing. thanks..... Basically, the bottom of the housing is inner and outer ring. Inner ring goes inside the cartridge hole and outer ring goes against the cartridge gasket. Problem is, if housing dimensions are not respected well, then this outer ring will not have a seal against that gasket and there will be a gap. And the inner ring will not be able to keep it "sealed". The housing that my friend had, barely had this outer ring, so water was bypassing.   , can u sketch the sectional view for educational purposes?This post has been edited by xproc: Apr 29 2019, 02:22 PM |
