Not certified but still be able to remove this dangerous bacteria. 🤔

It is estimated that Salmonella species causes 93.8 million cases of gastroenteritis worldwide annually with 155,000 deaths.

I think i saw some where that espring does certified that it can filter or from uv the dangerous Salmonella bacteria.
Why did cdc say differently. 🤔

Can anyone confirm?

yes, considering most world population has no access to municipal water and relies on well/underground/surface water sources (rivers, lakes, spring etc) it is the risk. I see people drinking from springs up in the mountains all the time, they say "no humans here, therefore water is safe". Such a careless and crazy assumption.

Hi all, any of you used this kind of outdoor filter? Any comments? Thanks!

Got one like 20 years ago, my dad pasang one. lol

Still using after 20 years ? Wow!

already disposed back in 12-14 years ago. Upgraded to more modern carbon based POU filter.

You can get one of those, but not transparent. When transparent fail (and they do because of cracking at the base because of the material etc etc) they fail badly and violently (most of the time). Grt quality one white or blue, do not expose it to UV, change cartridges on time and replace/lubricate the o-ring and it will last for years.

That old thing stil selling these days

I'm nub. Can link to a picture or product of that modern filter?

I prefer tankless type, direct-from-water inlet and slim/compact type.

Any sifu here, appreciate your recommendation. Am noob in this. Has been drinking mineral bottles water all my life.

Any recommended alternative to 3M Easy Cyst-ff water filter. I am looking for water filter that doesn’t require additional faucet.

Well, you are comparing 10 by 2.5 with 10 by 4.5, therefore the difference. If you believe 10 by 2.5 is enough for you, just get it in white or blue. If you need BB, which is 10 by 4.5, then it's the 2nd link. Main advantage of smaller one, it can hang on the pipes. BB you will need to mount somewhere.


You mean you want to connect between your current faucet and the water inlet? It is not that popular, mainly because the faucet becomes the weak spot. Look for something with 6L/min flow, or it will be quite slow for every day use. What is your goal, drink from it or boil later?

Yes. I want to connect my water filter directly to the faucet, which means everything that comes out of that water is filtered.

My objective is to filter any contaminants & chlorine taste, if possible, drinking straight from the tap. Otherwise I could just boil the water to drink because most of the time I will boil & bottle my drinking water anyway since that is the norm for me since I was little. 3M "full flow" water filter flow rate is at 5.68L/min.

I will have a POE water filter anyway (Probably 3M AP902). Do I even need a POU water filter?

May I know which model can do this? I am also thinking whether I could use the hot water inlet to provide filtered water since I will only be using cold water inlet even though I am buying a mixer

any hot/cold mixer tap

So just connect the hot water inlet to the water filter and it will function as filtered water dispenser? Or how to do it?

Thats bsically it.

You have 2 inlet, just connect them to regular water and filtered water. and remember which is which. settled.

Thanks. I already bought Grohe for my kitchen faucet. I guess my problem is settled then.
