Nope, i dont sell water dispenser.

Just wondering wouldn't it be more cost effective to get a mini kettle like those in the hotels or even better a SEERS Thermos flasks? Water Dispenser requires maintenance and high electricity consumption, big and bulky as well due to big storage tank. Unless you use a lot of hot water daily, otherwise a mini kettle or Flasks would be a more economical choice, boil what you need and when you need

Example of a mini boiler i found from one of my suppliers

However, if you would like to get the Aquaphor to be connected to a Water Dispenser, i could try to source it as well
*
Avoid the SEERS 3 minutes thermos flasks. The so called Nano tech heating glass tube can not last. Mine broken (the glass tube broken) 3 times with my 2 replacement units. When the last unit broken, I never bother already.
It was made in China (¥1xx.00) but claimed Malaysia tech.

I have a Nesh Qoozo indoor water filter and I live in a condo, does any of you here think that it's good/bad to boil the filtered water for drinking purpose?

If yes, do you guys pakai those 4L/5L conventional electric kettle to boil or those 1.7L kettles for tea/coffee type?
*
I doubt Nesh Qoozo has NSF certifcation. Therefore it is safer to boil it before drinking.
For small family, look for those jug kettle where you can boil minimum 1 cup (250ml) of water. Save energy when you only need 1 cup of boiling hot water.
Btw, most jug kettles in the market are (2 cups) 500ml min. 1 cup jug kettles are quite scarce.

Here is the NSF official site, just type in the name of product to find out yourself. Update this thread if Nesh is NSF certified.

I have a POE membrane filter that can filter up to 0.01 micron. Now I have POU 3M DWS2500 which can only filter 0.2 micron, I'm not sure is it redundant. Quite confused if I have installed correctly, anyone can enlighten me ?

0.01 micron at POE ? Not lowering water pressure in your kitchen and washing machine ??

I have already installed DWS-2500 as POU but my usage is heavy because of frequent home cooking usages, less than 6 months I already need to change the DWS filter. Now, I'm thinking is it a need for me to install another POU for food preparation and soup/cooking purpose which can last for more capacity such as the Easy Cyst (2000 gallons) or Solo. Please advise experts...
*
Good news to you. 3M recently introduced a new affordable POU drinking water filter called CTM-01. Available exclusively at Tesco for an introductory price of RM340. Normal selling price is RM399. The package c/w necessary tubing, faucet adaptor for instant counter top installation. ( can be installed undersink too)
The filter head is silmilar to that of my existing 3M AP Easy Complete, therefore I can use my C-complete cartrige for CTM-01 as well. For those who plan to buy the RM800 3M easy complete starter set, hold your horse, you can save some $$$ with 3M CTM-1 + C-Complete replacement cartridge.

CTM-01 is an affordable branded PUO filter option good for second POU, office, student, rented premises, portability.
I just bought 2 units for office and second POU purposes.

BTW, CTM-01 is tested in accordance with NSF 42/53 standards only, that's why it is cheap. Replacement cartridge is about RM150ish. if You want NSF certified, replace it with NSF certified C-Complete cartridge in your next cartrige replacement.

Can not. The CTM-1 can't meet your usage volume ? You just use it for washing and cooking food ?

QUOTE(echoesian @ Feb 2 2016, 11:44 PM)
AP Easy Cyst-FF is for washing foods only or can it also used for food/soup cooking?
*
If cooking, you already disinfect the water already, cyst ff or any filtered water without NSF certified good enough.

How much is the Culligan? Can it be installed under sink ?
*
Last year, Culligan EZ-1 was still selling at old price of slightly under Rm100 @ Ace Hardware. Good for washing and cooking food.
As for me, I had an undersink secondary POU 3-stage 3-in-1 standard 10" filter for washing and cooking . 1st filter is cheapo 1 micron sediment cartridge, 2nd is Dalton ceramic, 3rd is Dalton NSF certified active carbon. You can skip the first stage and buy a 2 in 1 instead since your POE filter already 0.1 micron.
10" cartridges are cheap and easily available.

The question is if the water used is for cooking and what I saw from the comments here is cooking will disinfect all the bacterias/virus, then should I still need a POU filter since it is redundant, correct me if I'm wrong.
*
If you POE already 0.1 micron, at least instal a carbon filter for secondary pou to filter the chlorine and other chemical not filtered by your POE.
E.g. while rinsing rice, rice will absorb the chlorine immediately if water is not filter by carbon.

I see... the new CTM-01 seem like a good buy but it is only saying tested accordance to NSF, that means it is not NSF certified?
*
I see it this way. With 3M brand name and reputation, when they boldly printed the words "tested in accordance to NSF/ANSI 42 & 53 standard" on the CTM cartridge itself, it simply means the cartridge is tested as good as NSF/ANSI 42 & 53 but without the certification. I think I can trust 3M's words (tested) without the certification for cheaper price and for secondary POU usage.
If you look at other certified 3M cartridges, they were printed as "NSF standard 42 & 53 tested and certified". Two processes here, the test and the certification. Of course the prices are more expensive.

Alternatively, get a standard 10" filter housing ( single or double ), then put in the NSF standard certified Dalton 10" cartridges. Voila...!

Where to buy the Dalton 10" cartridges?

Now I'm headache because my sink has a narrow space to install a separate faucet for the filtered water. Those water diverter that I've tried before does not last, it will leak in months. Anybody know where can I buy a faucet with smaller in diameter in the base?
*
Water filter shops should have.

If no room for extra filter faucet, you may want to consider replacing the main faucet with 2-in-1 faucet.

I think those bath & kitchen acc shops should have, maybe different design. Diring home exhibition, I had came across a 2-in-1 faucet system with separate faucet but using one single sink hole also.
Maybe zheilwane can tell us more.

Request sifu to review my water filter plan installation.

For outdoor plan to use Culligan HF-360A with 5 micron cartridge

For POU i will use Culligan EZ-1 for (pre-filter) and EZ-4.

Is it ok?
*
For standard 10" sediment filter housing, no need to buy expensive branded housing. Just buy from Aeon Big, Giant, Tesco or any hardware shop around RM30/unit will do, they pretty durable and can last for years. Since it is cheap, you may want to instal 2 units for double filtration. First filter put cheapo pp filter and second filter put better quality 1micron pp filter or if you prefer culligan pp filter.
As for internal, since you already have POE double filtration, one EZ-4 is good enough, no need EZ-1 pre-filter. After all, you are going to replace the replacement cartridge every 6months or 500 gallons which ever comes first. The most you can drag the cartridge replacement is 9 months if your filtered water usage is low.

Thank you for the invite, I thought you'd never ask....Yes, why not make a date, a few of us all go your shop, I bring my particle checker and we examine your water? We want to test an aged filter, a cartridge towards its end of life and see how it perform. Could you stand by 1?


Which date others want to go together?  I am open for suggestion.

Debating alone might not be convincing enough, lets wait til u come to my shop and compare your Espring with my Aquaphor and see the results, you may test whatever and however you like but to be fair, the same test must b done with your Espring on the same day as comparison. Just give me a date, we are open 6 days in a week. I have a unit installed in my shop where we demo and also drink it everyday.

After the test, i can also cut open the unit for you to have a look that it is not a brand new unit (cartridge replaced in April 2016). Then to be fair, we cut your cartridge as well to compare. Lets do this smile.gif

Since both sides already accepted and agreed to the challenges, why not fix the date of this unprecedented showdown this Saturday, 1 September 2016 @ 10.30am?
The present of witness from fellow forumer is not necessary unless some one here is willing to go together. Video recording and uploading it to YouTube is the best witness.
Im very excited to know the outcome of this unprecedented POU water filter challenge. drool.gif

from my experience, average usage per household (4-5 ppl) is 2500L - 3000L. How i get this estimate? based on how frequent my customers change their cartridge and also my own usage.

If it is 2500L then it will cost RM 1000 per year. Never try seahorse water could it be seamaster instead? but for 60cents 1.5L is very cheap, even tesco water is 90 cents, Spritzer RM 2.85... such a huge price difference

I went to Tesco yesterday to look for 5.5L bottle RO water, cheapest I can find is RM5.99 per bottle.
I'm actually looking for distilled water for my car radiator but don't know where to get it, so no choice have to use RO as replacement.

Insisting on other forumer to come a long is going to be difficult. It's like calling off the challenge.
I don't think forumers who has no direct interest whatsoever with the products would want to spend time and involve in this.
This challenge is between Amway and Aquaphor, just go there, do the test, take video, 10min kaodim. Then post the video to YouTube and share the link here.
Come on Amway, steady, your eSpring is discussed here extensively, don't disappoint your followers.

Nope. Not going to spend time travelling to kepong for this since it doesn't benefit me whatsoever.
This challenge is between you (Amway) and zheilwane (Aquaphor) only, not third party forumer. Since both of you openly challenged each other for a test, no need to wait for the green light from other forumer, just go and test it and prove it.

Post#710 zheilwane invited d_goh to come to his shop to test Aquaphor water sample.

Post#712 d_goh asked zheilwane to give a date for the test.

Post#718 zheilwane said d_goh can come any time, his shop open mon - sat, 9am-6pm and challenged d_goh to bring along eSpring for a Amway vs Aquaphor comparison test.

Post#726 and post#727 d_goh replied but no direct answer to zheilwane challenge.

Post#728 zheilwane said debating alone not convincing enough and this time it was zheilwane who asked d_goh for a date for the Amway vs Aquaphor challenge

Post# 739 zheilwane fixed the date 1.10.2016 Sat, 10.30am.

Post#748 d_goh needed an eye witness otherwise won't be coming.

Post#749 Aeiou said no 3rd party forumer is bothered to come as it doesn't concern them and suggested taking video as evidence instead of eye witness.

Post#754 d_goh insisted on eye witness, no eye witness no go, he has better thing to do.

Post#756 Again, zheilwane asked d_goh to come to his shop to do the comparison test. Zheilwane even offer d_goh a lunch treat.
