Here is something interesting. We have been talking about the spec of water filters, carbon block and etc but how often we get to see what is really inside the filters and how they look like?
Well, a customer asked what is the difference between his regular Carbon Block and Aquaphor's CarbFibre Block, so we cut it out to compare ... From comparison, we notice that 1) Aquaphor's carbon block seems to be more solid (compressed) 2) Though the diameter looks the same but Aquaphor's one is thicker 1.9cm vs 1.6cm. 3) Aquaphor has Aqualen and Silver to absorb heavy metals and kill bacteria (notice the silver dots?) Want to know more? Just drop by our showroom to look at the actual thing and also try the filter yourself ![]() |

QUOTE(fir3man @ Jul 12 2015, 10:47 AM) Wow long time didn't come to this thread already, thanks @NightFelix for moving and starting another thead Hi fir3man,I think you are misleading. NSF is not just for "USA". There is a more fundamental difference, LGA is not water expert nor safety standard, it is just government body, in wellfare, tourism, transport....etc etc... Take a view on their website and what they do, everyone should know that they are not fit to certify a water filter. Your statement of making the analogy that CPA vs ACCA = LGA vs NSF is very misleading, saying that as long as it is certified by LGA, it is as good as being certified by NSF. But what experty does LGA has to certify? Where is the test report? What facilities they have to perform the certification? Diamond and Nesh often include statement that their units are certified by exhibition organizations, misleading people that their products are okay, again what kind of experty does the exhibition organization have to do the certification? This had mislead so many people to buy into their filters Another statement made by you that you said some part of Aquaphor is certified by NSF, not the whole unit.....some part? which part? why not found on their website? I really urge others to do proper study, and LGA is no where close to fit to give "certification" out....pls be a conscience consumer, demand for proof, demand for test report. The fundamental don't change >>> Where is the test report? show me! Sorry you really sounds like another diamond and nesh salesman..... First of all, d_goh already said this before regarding NSF is not just for USA and i already replied saying that it is true NSF does not only apply for USA but Aquaphor Crystal ECO is mainly targeted for European markets and Europeans do recognize LGA while Aquaphor MORION is mainly targeted for USA market, hence they apply for NSF. I never mentioned that LGA is as good or better than NSF, is just that when you have LGA which is an European Standards, it shows that the AQUAPHOR water is safe to consume. I never said that CPA is better than ACCA or ACCA is better but when you have either one of these cert it shows that you have certain skills or abilities to handle the job of an accountant. Most information on Aquaphor are in Russian and that is why we cant find them in google but i did email Aquaphor to get the information and here is one of the certification. I think u went to the wrong LGA website or you got the wrong info. THe link that i was given from Aquaphor is as below http://www.tuv.com/de/deutschland/gk/produ...lga-tested.html ![]() ![]() FYI, in Europe, Aquaphor is Available in the following stores. This shows that Aquaphor is quite an established brand in Europe ![]() This post has been edited by zheilwane: Jul 15 2015, 05:10 PM |

QUOTE(fir3man @ Jul 12 2015, 11:48 AM) Aquaphor Website Well i dont sell RO system in Malaysia as most Malaysians do not like it as it is too CLEAN thatz why i never mention about the details about it. However, if you would like to know i can explain them as well.» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « NSF Report for Aquaphor: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Conclusion: - RO water cartridge (Why never mention all this while?) - Manufacturered in Russia (not UK!!) - Main HQ is in USA (not UK!!) - The contaminants mentioned in Aquaphor website is longer, but the test report just TDS (Total Dissolved Solids), which RO filter is examined on. - Bacteria not in the list.... - Viruses not in the list (how to handle virus without UV?) 1) Aquaphor is manufactured in Russia as pointed out by me and also other members in the first thread, never mentioned UK but Europe. 2) Aquaphor was founded in St. Petersburg in 1992 (RUSSIA) 3) Aquaphor RO system DWM101 also known as Morion is certified by NSF 58 (Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Treatment Systems) If it is certified that it is a RO SYSTEM that means it is a RO Filter. I believe most members will know RO system means filtering everything including minerals and etc that is why it is known as DEAD Water as well. Copied from NSF website NSF/ANSI 58: Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Treatment Systems NSF/ANSI 58 establishes the minimum requirements for the certification of point-of-use (POU) reverse osmosis systems designed to reduce contaminants that may be present in public or private drinking water. The scope of NSF/ANSI 58 includes material safety, structural integrity, total dissolved solids (TDS) reduction and other optional contaminant reduction claims. The most common optional claims addressed by NSF/ANSI 58 include cyst reduction, hexavalent and trivalent chromium reduction, arsenic reduction, nitrate/nitrite reduction, and cadmium and lead reduction. http://www.nsf.org/services/by-industry/wa...ment-standards/ |

Well, this is a discussion thread, open for discussions but if it is a serious buyer who wants to know more, wont they just PM or ask politely rather bombarding facts that are incorrect. If you guys do follow my replies, usually i will have citation for my facts (links or photos), i dont simply say things. For members who came to my shop before will definitely know i am a serious seller and not a regular salesman as this is my own business. I dont sell a product just to make profit, i use them as well. I wouldnt want to put my family's health at risk if Aquaphor is a harmful product. All that i have claimed so far is that the water is safe to consume and it is certified by European Food Regulation as shown in the previous reply. I never claim it to be a miracle water like alkaline, diamond or NESH, just saying it is a good, clean water, i never claim Crystal ECO has NSF, i openly replied and posted it does not have NSF only LGA and TUV. After all, i believe what we need is just to drink more clean healthy water to keep healthy. I tried many types of water filters before and all of them do not work like how they claim to be. As mentioned, i have minor eczema that is why i tried alkaline and also some of the so called miracle water but none of them improve my condition yet had some minor side effect for my other family members. We have been drinking Aquaphor water for many months and so far so GOOD, no known issues and we are drinking more water as it is so convenient, we dont need to boil or get bottle water.

QUOTE(NightFelix @ Jul 14 2015, 10:17 AM) Talking about Diamond, Diamond this "ahem" company is striking back recently with new design and even more expensive than before. Well just also from my understanding and online research. All the so called mineral stone or life stone and etc how effective are they? With so many cartridges and such little amount in every little cartridge, i doubt it has any benefit to us. From Energy to Mineral and now Coral? WTF with them. http://diamondrefined.com/my/price-list-2/ Now they sell Water Filter just like selling iPhone/Samsung. Now come with Gold and Platinum option, too big for your It is simple, perfect, cool, elegant, refined. It is remarkable. C'mon seriously? Copied from previous thread If the media in the cartridge is too little, it might not be off any benefit. For Example, Orange contains Vitamin C and Vitamin C could lighten our skin. However, by consuming one orange alone could not make our skin lighter, the dosage of Vitamin C in orange (60-70mg) is just too little to have any effect as the dosage require is (1,000 – 3,000 mgs). That is why brands like Aquaphor, 3M and Amway emphasize on selected media (carbon block) rather than giving many different medias with very little quantity. http://www.whiterskin.info/how-taking-extr...-lightens-skin/ |

QUOTE(muncheno @ Jul 22 2015, 04:00 PM) Any options available to have the Cystal Eco or Cystal Solo to connect or come with a hot water dispenser? Nope, i dont sell water dispenser.Thanks. 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 This post has been edited by zheilwane: Jul 23 2015, 12:28 AM |

QUOTE(kinggerrard @ Jul 24 2015, 06:54 PM) Zeen, nope bro, just packing difference. You are the only first customer who got the english version since u asked us yesterday. So, for those who purchased the stolen one, without our receipt, we will not sell you the replacement cartridge and also no warranty for it.Forgot to ask you when I was in your shop yesterday. Is there any differences between the russian vs english version? Warning : Recently we found out that someone has stolen our goods and sold it online. We found evidence and caught the person. A reminder and also warning to all members, never ever purchase anything from someone who does not have a proper business license or shop, you could be buying a stolen product and suppliers could trace it with serial number. For those who purchased the stolen Grundfos Pump warranty is automatically voided. Buying Cheap stolen products, you are encouraging the thief to steal even more. When the buying stops, the stealing too.... To the thief : We know who you are, you are still young, there is still a turning back. We do not want to resort to reporting the police and destroying your future. Imagine how your family would be if you were caught and jailed, your parents will definitely be sad. There are no shortcuts in life and people do make mistakes when they are young, so do not do anything foolish again and just return the goods and say sorry. We are giving you a chance, so act smart and be thankful This post has been edited by zheilwane: Jul 24 2015, 11:52 PM |

Looks good but it is RO water, too clean, no minerals.
1. The water is demineralized. 2. The water is usually acidic. http://www.waterbenefitshealth.com/reverse...osis-water.html Actually Aquaphor do sell RO water purifier as well and i will be importing one unit next month to be installed in my house since my 3M DWS2500 is gonna expire. Aquaphor solve the two disadvantages of RO filter by having re-mineralization filter. For those who are interested can PM me but at the mean time i plan to install and test it first before selling it. |
