want to ask about espring cartridge. been a user for 8 years. it sold for about RM600. but now as we all know shopee lazada selling for RM180 to RM200. those seller have rating 4.9 / 5.0. so my question is if those are fake why amway didn’t take any action? they had been selling for huge numbers. it surely affected their sales or revenue if those are fake 1. assuming 20000 sold x 600 =12,000,000 this mean amway lose 12m revenue because of fake cartridge.

unless those are genuine 1 or amway themselves secretly sell in shopee cheaply via 3rd party.

No need, even if you buy for 600, I believe it is still worth it. Say you change to Aquaphor, pay 1000 and then 400 every year, only in 5 years you will break even. You have a good system, why change it? Unless you can sell it 2nd hand for ok price and change to LG, Aquaphor whatever, then maybe yes, because Amway was overpriced to begin with

Espring is fine, just that it's filter is expensive (Rm600), any other brands would've satisfy ur needs at the same costs but gave u more features instead

I'm using this model. For first installation, it is better to ask their technician to do it for you, since it comes with the package anyway (i'm on rental basis so it's part of the package). Everything you need is in the box, but adjusting the water pressure that goes into the unit may be tricky, that's why I prefer their technician to do it.

Guys, need your help again. Please recommend a reliable plumber who does not charge through the roof... Our in house installer is often away, yet 3rd party installer now charges 270RM instead of 120-150 he used to charge. Anyone you can recommend who has recently done a good job for you?

No worries! Hopefully it helps to improve your water quality. Do remember to maximize your savings by purchasing replacement cartridges when there's Shopee / Lazada / Bank vouchers.

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

edit: removed the extra spacing between lines

Anyone have any idea what would be a replacement for Diamond Filter? I have the Diamond Coral filter that they don't sell anymore.
Looking for a replacement filters, I see TDM is similar, would it work?

What is TDM? That Diamond filter itself looks kinda unique, but the cartridges are most probably generic. Yeah, big issue if they had their own design and went out of business.
