Hi guys. D u know where i can buy 4mc4 fitting? One of my filter tube fitting got leak bcos the rubber seal broken already. Now i temporarily seal it using tape but still got leaking... not as bad as without it. Need it urgent, tried to find in ace hardware but no avail.

thank for the reply guys.

Recently there is thing action suits against coway in Korea over heavy metal found in their filtered water. Wondering is Malaysia Coway is affected.

law suit action doesn't happen in MY. consumer right basically are as good as dead in MY.

Got also lar...when they actually over claimed it...

Then the company denies that it claimed anything and pushed the responsibility to the distributors.

oh wait. those false advertise promotion is printed by distributor or the company.

i thought all the while kangen promote their water like miracle can cure lots of sickness, skin problem and also used in hospitals that is why they are selling for RM 12k. Now the company say no such thing... so why pay so much for just alkaline water?

Recently seems like kangen and coway got into trouble already, i have several Amway friends keep on sharing the news

My recommendation drink clean water instead of gimmick water.

Enagic Malaysia statements is they only sell water filter. Those claims are promoted by their distributors, not them. So basically the company just say it is not my fault, it is the distributors fault for the wrong claims.

Agreed on the clean water rather than gimmick water.

Basically I don't care about the law suit. Not as if consumers can get anything. The only winners is the lawyers.
I am more interested if the affected model is also being sold in Malaysia.

what is the product for clean water? any recommendation on proven and good product?

in this forum, u can c 3M, Espring & Aquaphor these 3 focus on clean water only. Not alkaline, not RO, not energy water nor miracle water.

I m selling only 3M and Aquaphor. For Espring, there are many Amway Seller here

For water filter, best to find those which are certified by NSF. You can check it here.

If want even low entry budget can go to ABC Hardware shop looks for Culligan Brand of Water Filter. Is NSF certified as well (certain selected only). But got pros and cons also, you pay what you getting for.

Scandal-ridden Cuckoo losing edge in water, air purifier market

음성듣기

Cuckoo CEO Koo Bon-hak

By Park Si-soo

Cuckoo Electronics is falling out of favor with its customers in the wake of a series of scandals involving the company's core water and air purification products.

The scandals are seen to have let down the company's overseas customers and tarnished its budding reputation, dealing a blow to its ambitious overseas expansion, according to market insiders and analysts.

The Seoul-based firm has sought to expand overseas, especially in Southeast Asia, with high-end air purifiers. But their filters were recently found to have been tainted with a toxic chemical substance named octylisothiazolinone (OIT). Prof. Lim Jong-han of Inha University's medical school discovered the toxic substance in a test of five bestselling air purifying filters.

"Nearly 2,095 ppm of OIT was found on average in Cuckoo's filter," Lim said. Korea's environment ministry designated OIT as a toxic chemical in 2014, barring its use in the making of products that can pose health risks.


Amid soaring criticism, Cuckoo recently recalled OIT-contaminated filters in Korea, but market insiders said the company is reluctant to do so in overseas markets.

Last week, Cuckoo became a target for criticism once again for what TV regulators said were false and exaggerated promotions of its water purifiers on TV home shopping channels during the first half of this year. Several directors of Korea's two major TV shopping channels -- Home & Shopping and CJ O Shopping -- were disciplined heavily for airing misleading information on Cuckoo's water purifiers, according to the Korea Communications Standard Commission (KCSC).

"Cuckoo's water purifiers were promoted as if their filters make mineral-rich water that's good for health. The purifier is also promoted on the claim that its filtered water is effective in skincare and curing damaged skin," a KCSC official said. "These claims were proven to be groundless scientifically."

The official said the KCSC will put Cuckoo products under a watchful eye throughout the second half of the year to protect people from misleading information.

Financial analysts said these scandals would make it difficult for Cuckoo to reach its sales target for the second quarter. Citing the murky outlook, Meritz Securities recently revised down its target per-share price of Cuckoo from 250,000 won to 210,000 won.

Meanwhile, Coway, Korea's biggest water and air purifier maker that was recently hit by the so-called "nickel scandal," is quickly restoring customers' confidence with a swift recall and other compensation campaigns.

wow why suddenly so many negative news for all the branded water filter company? Scary....

Looking for Nesh outdoor filter. Agent who able to offer great price please PM

Coway & Cuckoo abang adik, that's why...
Coway previously was under Woongjin which already bankrupted in 2012.

So which water filter that provide cold & hot water are recommended for indoor?

That's partly because the typical Malaysian will complain like hell but will not bother to take action to exert their rights. Typical "No Action, Talk Only".
