3M for PoE

3M POE - Small unit

3M POE - Big unit

Can install 2 units (1 small 1 big) as POE outside of your house.

Filter size: 5 microns

Replacement cartridge:
Small - ~RM30 each
Big - ~RM600 each
*both can wait shopee / lazada voucher to maximize discounts

Small unit first, then big unit. Small filter can help reduce initial contents in water, reduce load in your bigger filter. Both filter replacement cartridge easy to DIY replace, can replace whenever water flow starts to be too slow for your liking. Small unit replace every 6 months or so. Big unit can replace every 2 years if your smaller unit is replaced properly.

Then if you want to install undersink, then can go with

3M undersink

Filter size: 1 microns
replacement cartridge: ~RM260
replace every: 1 year or 1.5 depending on your usage

total cost per year replacement estimate: (RM30 x 2) + (RM260) = RM320 / RM14 per month
total cost per 2 years replacement estimate: (RM30 x 4) + (RM260 x2) + RM600 = RM1240 / RM52 per month

Factors to consider:
- municipal water pressure (adding extra filters will lower water pressure)
- municipal water quality (within city should be cleaner, within developed states should be cleaner, hence prolonging your filter life and reduce replacement needs).
- water consumption needs (use more water = shorter filter life)

Not a seller / reseller for water filters, not water expert also, just sharing my basic setup for standard water quality

So far after I installed 3m, water quality improved significantly, clearly observable, done own testing (I am very intrigued by water related topics, hence I went to study and completed online degree for water management for my own curiosity). Besides that I still do boil water for consumption, my fridge also alot of space so use glass bottle to store purified or boiled water

On top of that no subscription fee for me, no need to arrange time for the filter fellas to come to only just "wash" the filters, used to have coway, but realized its RO filter, gave to my elders

Easy to replace filters, no significant change to my water pressure (landed) and installation hassle also one off, would recommend

Hi everyone, I have used Coway , Cuckoo water purifiers. I am considering the LG WD518 purifier since it's much cheaper RM50/month

Just wanted to get some feedback, is the water dispensing pressure good? I tested at the showroom, it seems like pretty slow

Salesman said it's due to water pressure from the tap. Anyone has any feedback or video?

Thanks

Hi, anyone know where to get the LG Puricare WD516AN filter replacement? I tried to find online but no results. I bought the unit outright with free 2 years filter. But my 2 years period is ending soon but couldnt find any filter replacement myself...

Hi fellow sifus. Moving into a new space for ourselves. Wanting to find an affordable option for easy access for drinking water from the tap, without requiring to boil. Would like some realistic opinions and suggestions. Able to change the filter myself when required as well. Currently looking at Panasonic options:
1. TK-CS500
2. PJ-37MRF
3. TK-CS200

1. landed or condo?
- Condo
2. how many pax in your household?
- 3 adults
3. got senior / babies / people with disease like kidney failure for example in the house?
- No
4. can you able to do some small DIY installing yourself or not? (like replacement filter yourself?)
- Preferably not. Its a rental, will only be there 2 years or so. A tabletop filter is probably best idea. Able to change filter myself.
5. how much u afford to installment per month for at least 5 years? 50/mth or 100/mth or 150/mth?
- Prefer 1-time off purchase.
6. or do u prefer 1-time off purchase? below 1k or 2k or 3k?
- Below 1k
7. do you own external water filter yet?
- No. Condo unit.
8. hot/water function is it a must for you? will you willing to fork out another RM50/mth electricity bill for the feature? or you just stick with thermal pot + fridge cold water?
- Hot/cold function not necessary, prefer to save cost on the unit and monthly electricity. Can boil and use fridge/ice if need hot/cold water.

Thanks in advance!

Heyyo.

Wanna ask about LG water purifier regarding taste. My family really like the taste from Cuckoo and hate Coway taste. Im considering getting the LG one. Can someone tell me how it taste?

mind to share some photos of your setup for the big n small POE ?  TIA

the LG puricare water filter their customer service is poor... every time when it is due for filter replacement, i will receive sms ask me to click a link to confirm the delivery address, then after i confirmed more than one month, also no replacement filter sent to me..

my last replacement also same... i need to call the customer service then they arrange for delivery of the replacement filter.

walau eh... if every replacement i also need to do this manually, what is the point of subscribing to the service????

Hi just got LG puricare. The power cable is not long enough to the power point. Curently am using it with an extension cord. Is it safe?

I just changed to LG Puricare from Coway.  And i think there are some difference btw the two and we not get used with LG Puricare taste yet. Probably becoz Coway is RO system, it is basically tasteless.

I use coway for 10 years and changed to lg recently. I dont taste any major difference. The only thing i dont like is the hot water is very SLOW and not hot enough.

pls recommend me countertop filter. must be affordable, have ceramic and activated carbon.

Why ceramic? It is like the worst choice nowadays. But anyway, if you want ceramic there is only doulton.
