Agree, normal granular carbon is not effective and a good quality carbon block can only reduce but not fully remove heavy metal in water.
To effectively remove them, you need RO.
I have to emphasize again, i m not supporting RO and i do think RO is not necessary unless you wish to effectively remove certain type of contaminants.
Yes, every system have their pros and cons. I too agree RO has cons that i am not willing to accept so not using it myself. I use espring because spares are easier to get.
The best system, most efficient and cost efficient is RO SYSTEM, but RO system remove all minerals from the water as well, hence to solve it disadvantage, it is to remineralised the water.
That's brings another question that we should discuss. How remineralised works, what and where those minerals came from, proven and tested by which organization, what are the cons of remineralised water (if any, we know the pros).

How is it most efficient and cost efficient if every litre of clean water, you're wasting 4 litres of water?
Correct me if I am wrong but generally RO water filter has a 1:4 ratio where every litre of clean water it filters, there will be 4 litres waste water. source
The other thing is power consumption. Since it needs a pump to increase the water pressure so that H2O can pass through the membrane, the power consumption will be higher than other water filters. source

Yes, most RO system waste a lot water, waste space and some even need power consumption.
However, the Aquaphor DWM 101 that i m using is different compared to regular RO filters. - Still got water wastage for drainage but lesser compared to regular RO. - Space Saving - No electricity required.
There are pros and cons for RO system, after using for one year i still think the cons outweigh the pros, thatz y i didnt plan to market it yet.
Gonna install a water dispenser couple together with my existing Aquaphor Filter soon Existing customers who are using Aquaphor can just add the dispenser soon at a very low price

Still it doesn't state what material use for the remizeralisation. Mineral won't just dissolve like that in water as it pass through rocks or materials. The most efficient way still is using chemical type mineral which dissolve rapidly in water.
I am using tourmaline stone filters for remineralised the water and single molecule filters to provide oxygen and easy to drink. Beside that waste water from Ro system filters will recycle back to the Ro filters.

Cool man, i wonder how much it cost for a filter, how much carats is your filter?

The water in my area right now is kind of bad due to high demand, low output and drought. I was thinking of putting this to filter the outside water. Already have a Coway for drinking but for other stuff the water quite karat. Is this Coway Bamboo good? Or should I go with something else? Can recommend?

RM5k? RM10k? I am a total noob in this. I don't know what is the market value for this thing. Something that last and easy to maintain I guess. What are my options?
The water from the main pipe is low pressure-so there is a tank that collects water from there. Then a pump pumps it to the tank at the second floor. I am not sure if placing the pump at the main pump can be done due to the pressure.

I am asking the same question. We don't have a list of mineral being "put back" to the RO water nor at what concentration for all the different types.
I doubt they can "re-create" the same type of mineral portfolio as natural water.
Minerals needed for our body is quite a small volume, over minerals do harm our health. Spring water is full with minerals but it's harmful to human body if drinking in long term.
I always emphasis in balance food n drinks partake, exercise and enough sleep is a good practise of healthy body.
RO water may be "cleaner" than filtered water. But WHO says RO water isn't the best water for human consumption.
RO is good for everyone, unless you don't eat food (that full of all minerals that you need).
RO is definately the best choice to go, in terms of NSF/whatever rating it should get 100/100.
However i can't find any cost effective model in malaysia yet.
Please share good (and cheap) models to help everyone drinking cleaner and cheaper model.
What i hate about living in malaysia is 3 things: expensive car/road tax, overpriced internet package, and dirty water/ extremely ex water filter systems.
