I went there before noon with hope of catching the challenge live but turned out disappointed as no show to see. Ended up getting one Crystal Eco.

I think he meant this type.

Different brand.

IMO, it is largely depends on the usage, not by number of people in your household.

The more you used, the faster the filter cartridge will degrade. If one is overly worried, better get a TDS tester to test the water quality regularly.

Example for one Panasonic alkaline water filter model. Panasonic recommends replacing the cartridge approximately after 1 year of usage, assuming 15 liters of water are used a day. If 30 liters are used a day, the cartridge usage limit will be approximately one-half.

I get what you meant. Ultimately, it depends on the manufacturer and how dirty is the water supply in your area.

Like for example, Panasonic recommends replacing it after 1 year if usage is 15 liter per day. If you used that as a guide, you should replace it after 5,475 liter (365 x 15L) usage . You can check your water bill to calculate your household average water consumption per day. Then, you can roughly determine when to change it.


Disclaimer: I am not an expert. Best that you seek expert advice from the manufacturer.

Does NSF randomly obtain the filter from retailer when conducting tests?

With all the certifications come to nothing if the manufacturer cut corners during mass production. What they sent for certification can be different from what they had produced for the mass.

Read about scandal at Kobe Steel and VW dieselgate?

This one can do?

What is the purpose of the metal inserts?

How can one prevent mold from growing in the housing if put it under the sun? I have seen it a lot in some houses.

I am using Elken Bio Pure Ken2. I was told that not all cartridges need to change yearly. Some every 2 - 3 years.

Elken replacement filters are costly. I am wondering if I can re-purpose it as water dispenser to use together with other water filter system such as Aquaphor Crystal Eco.

Exactly like what aeiou228 has shared.

Got sellers in Lazada selling Omnipure filter cartridge. Not sure whether are they authentic or not.

Need advice.
I am using Elken Biopure Ken1. Recently, I noticed that the rejected water tube non-stop dripping water despite the machine not filtering water.

Any idea what is the cause of the problem?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your guide. I opened up the casing and noticed rust on the Solenoid Valve. Seems that Solenoid is leaking.
