Brown/Yellowish water inside the tank, those places with water leak has yellowish sign

That doesn’t prove lead or heavy metal

Probably iron, I doubt you are exposed to lead 24/7. To have PoE to filter lead... Can, but it will be expensive, you will need a quality, modified carbon block and a sediment filter. Media filter will not be able to do it.

I posted a photo on previous page, this is what iron does to filter in about 3-4 days.

Sorry my mistake. I think it's Iron.

As I'm not always around, I was planning to buy
AMGO Korea UF1500L Ultra Filtration UF Membrane Filter Water Purifier Outdoor Water Filter 0.01 Micron
AMGO UF Stainless Steel Outdoor Water Filter Auto Timer,Auto Backwash(Best Quality)

Outdoor water filter + auto backwash.

Will they be good enough for basic iron filtration?

Sediment filter will do.

Thanks for your suggestion.

I will go for Outdoor Sediment filter + auto backwash.

AMGO seems like a biggest seller in lazada.

If too much iron, then any filter will get blocked fast. Except maybe media sediment filter, but that's because it will not filter iron well and it will all go to your PoU or kettle.

In that case, maybe can do 20 micron followed by 5 micron sediment filter.

Seems like I finally found a dispenser, made in Korea, ordering a sample now

nice.. will be more cheaper? compare to those two u bring in?

I was referring to dispenser, not filter. Dispenser does not have integrated filter, it is used as an additional unit to serve hot/cold water

Hi all,

Is Blondal’s M2 poe filter good?
How abt the company reputation? Is it really
Swedish as claimed?

nevermind... price is 800rm in Korea, too expensive...


Coway is basically 1000RM product (with healthy profit) sold for 4000RM. The only advantage is that they offer payment terms. Otherwise it is a generic item made in Shandong, China... And the "alkaline water" scam that was popular 5 years ago and they still don't give it up.

Outdoor water filter is use to filter those bigger contaminants and to prevent indoor water filter get clog easily so that your indoor water filter can last longer. Indoor water filter mostly can direct drink it. But still need to see what kind of brand.

Outdoor/indoor is not the right way of saying it. In fact, most outdoor filters are only outdoor in Malaysia because it is warm here.

It is Point of Entry, PoE (i.e. whole house), vs Point of Use, PoU (i.e. just a separate faucet for drinking water only).

PoE is usually only sediment filter, meaning it removes sand, clay, rust etc, down to few microns in case of cartridge and down to roughly 40 microns in case of sand filter. So all water that comes to your house is filtered, but not to drinking level.

PoU is at least sediment+carbon (though some do not come with sediment and let carbon do sediment work, which blocks filter prematurely). This is to remove suspended particles + awful taste/smell of carbon and various VOCs. Some filters are able to remove pharmaceuticals, PBA and bacteria, some also able to remove viruses. Next level is RO, in which case pretty much everything is removed, except diffused gases nitrates (in theory it removes up to 80% of nitrates, but in reality, because of other contaminants present, the number is significantly lower) and some other minor things.

You can refer to the link below for complete (and hopefully unbiased) PoU guide. PoE guide is still not available

Not saying Coway is necessarily good or bad, to be honest, I never fully tested it and I haven't seen serious tests by anyone. I tasted water from the one big Coway at local restaurant, and while cold water had quite good taste, hot water tasted really bad, maybe lack of maintenance of the tank or something else, but there was clearly something wrong with hot water. All I'm saying is that, in my opinion, Coway, Cuckoo and other Korean brands are significantly overpriced for inline filter system, even with dispenser.

I was trying to get a dispenser from one of the Korean brands (not available in Malaysia), and it was actually made in Korea. Price is 800RM and it is not significantly more for system with filtration. This is for real made in Korea product with NSF cartridges and the seller is still making good profit on it. Coway is what, roughly 6K on the plan and 3800-ish if bought right away, and it is not Korean made...

Coway and Cuckoo have great payment terms for those who cannot accumulate enough money, it is true. But 100RM (for Neo) x 60 months (plan) is still 6K. At 6K can buy quality filter + cartridges for 6 years + dispenser and have excellent water quality, separate clean water tap (to wash fruits and vegetables for example) with better flow, and still have money left for vacation. Filter+dispenser will always outperform dispenser with built in inline filters.

But my bad, I think "ALKALINE WATER IS MIRACLE" is mostly Cuckoo, Coway seems to get away from it more and more, good for them!

Thoughts on something like this as a PoE?

Pentek 1044 vessel. Straightforward media (no rocket science). And the 5 layers of media doesn't remove chlorine, so no funky stuff growing in the water tank.
