Things to compare when you shop for a water filter

1) technology it uses for filtration -> what contaminats it can remove?
2) methods to kill off bacteria & viruses
3) does the water still contain beneficial minerals
4) company background
5) maintenance

What we want from a good water filter is
1) able to remove contaminants that are harmful to our body
2) kills bacteria and viruses

Alkaline water filter do none of the above, expect for making the water to become alkaline.

The first 190 litre of espring filtered water are mild alkaline pH 8.5 due to the carbon, after that it become neutral pH 7.0. Espring water contains mineral (not RO reverse osmosis water).

The easiest way to make your own alkaline water is to put baking soda (cost less than rm3 / packet).

And the best way to remove acidity from our body is through exercise and drinking fruit juices.

Alkaline water is just marketing gimmick, there is no single scientific proof to show it does any good to our body.

Hello.. advise to get additional faucet for your espring, you can put your espring undersink or ok couter Top also.

I have helped few forumners here to fix their eSpring filter.

First year rm3604 / 5000 liter = rm 0.72 / liter

2nd year onwards you only need to change the whole set of cartridge after 1 year or 5000 liter (rm583)

I.e rm583 / 5000Litre = rm0.11 / litre

500ml of spritzer mineral water is selling at rm1.60.
