Just buy distilled water if you are staying for short term.

Who would consume distilled water as daily drinking water?

Hi can i ask for some advice. I am going to move to a condo but only temporarily around 3-6 months while waiting for my house to do renovation. Currently at the condo unit there is no water filter that i can see.

Is there any water filter that does not require any installation? As i wont be staying there long so it wont be economical to install water filter... In my mind so far thinking getting those BRITA water filter jugs but open to any suggestions.

It only certified as RO water, any RO water can get the certification easily.
http://info.nsf.org/Certified/DWTU/Listing...ModlStd=ModlStd

It didn't state what is the membrane size and the UV mili joules?
I doubt the UV can perform well to kill bacteria & virus level else it will have been certified by NSF standard 55 (Ultraviolet Microbiological Water Treatment Systems).
For example, eSpring utilize UV light with 80 mili joules enough to kill bacteria & virus.

This is Taiwan News (三立電視) from last year. Sorry it only have Chinese version, it mainly talk about the typhoon struck causing water pollution & piping in Taiwan contains high level of lead. Many people choose to buy water filter because of the outburst & take it more seriously on how polluted our water is.
The news also tell us that we should look into 4 aspects when choosing a right water filter :
1) Effectiveness of filtration
2) Killing bacteria
3) 3rd party certification
4) Retaining minerals

It also mentioned about NSF, a foundation which regulate & certify a water filter for the above 4 standards of water.
When choosing a water filter, the main concern should be the technology used & how effective it can remove contaminants. Water filter is not something we buy frequently, so invest on a really effective water filter can take care all of the family members.

We want to add a water filter to our condo. We already got a coway water dispenser but dont have a water filter for incase we need to boil water to 100degrees. The coway water dispenser does not boil to 100degress, only until 89degree. We sometimes needed the super boiled water because its to make baby milk. Better to have things sterilized properly and also good water. So here is the problem, condo we can filter at the source, so we need to filter at our taps. I saw this 3 filter sold at 11street, just wondering which is the better choice? Please don't say the more expensive the better, really appreciate the good input.

Option 1 - http://www.11street.my/productdetail/best-...eramic-15534206

Option 2 - http://www.11street.my/productdetail/doubl...atrikx-16807371

I thought coway comes with filter which is RO system? hmm.gif
It's good that you have the mindset to have cleaner water to consume.
As i know, condo filters are outdoor filter which filter only dirt.
Those 3 options also work as to filter off dirt, if you wanna clean water for drinking, go for a better system IMO.
Since you have baby, better to get a better one.

yups bro, I have the RO ones, but there is discussion is bad to introduce RO to infant at such a young age, else they get dependant on RO water and won't drink any other water. So that's why we wanted a good filter from the tap + boiled water for the baby.

Even for adults, RO is not recommended as daily drinking water.
Is your coway under contract? If the contract already finished, consider to trade in for a new water system which is not RO.
You might be amazed if you tear apart the system, you can search back my older post, i have posted some photo for the inner construction of the system.

There are a lot of water filter system available in the market, study & get correct information before you buy as water filter serve a important role in a family to provide clean water for everyday consumption.
NSF certification is one of the important aspect to determine how good is the water filter system.
You can check using this website to see what standard is the water filter system certified for http://info.nsf.org/Certified/DWTU/

eSpring was used by Thailand authority to provide clean water few years ago when they were struck by tsunami.

It seems to be your budget are tight. probably look for ACE Hardware shop for the Culligan brand. It have NSF 42+53 Certified. Then go to SenHeng buy a cheapo Boiler.

Just moved to a new place recently n been selecting drinking water filter
Pondering between
1)eSpring
2)Culligan
3)Aquaphor

After much reading and consideration, moved on with Aquaphor Crystal Eco

Consideration Factors :
1. Certification (digged out the LGA certificate, the test lab credibility, the test sample and filter model stated on test report, the test tested against Malaysia water supply and the filtered parameters details) Thanks bro Zheilwane for the patience to share with me blush.gif

2. The concept of pre-filtration before main, so no clogging in the main filter. The patented Aqualen technology, bacteria, voc filtration with silver... Etc.

http://www.cleanaqua.co.uk/eng/news/44
http://www.aquaphor-water.eu/english/Company/history.htm

3. I choose the under sink setup, it's a Super DIY design, i got it all setup in <15mins (u need to prep a hole on ur table top for the faucet readily though, unless u choose the table top setup)

4. Filter priced at Rm1699, RM450 filter replacement annually, there's no need of extra charges in electricity (UV or some display electronics), NO shipment n service charge, replacement filter service charge whatsoever, totally DIY

5. Drink direct with a really good quality faucet given foc (Seriously I was impressed with the faucet, it is really solid)

6. Water is totally, clean, odourless, tasteless n clear (done a comparison with 2 glasses of water from Aquaphor CE n direct from pipe, u can straight away see an obvious difference)

And no, i m not on commission to review on this hahahha
Just sharing smile.gif

DIY = Do it Yourself , so, do it yourself hahaha tongue.gif tongue.gif tongue.gif

For Aquaphor buyer, no worries, there's a readily available detailed manual, showing u how to install the filter.
You just need to ensure the table top hole is readily drilled and you're ready to start.
