Will compare this cheapest Panasonic model with the RM200 one and see what's the difference. Will surely get one of these.

A point which I forgot to mention is I don't drink room-temperature water. I always drink warm water, closer to hot. If I drink cold water, it will be ice-cold water and not room temperature, but I rarely drink cold water as it's not good for health. Hence, boiled water is necessary in my case. If I am in the office, the source for warm/hot water is the water dispenser with a large water bottle turned upside down, slotted into the water dispenser.

oh there is also a 3M table top/wall mount filter but quite expensive compare to the Panasonic. Also bigger

around Rm370 at Lazada

yah hate that too but no choice if you want table top filter. I dont even use one now. Just using those backwash type for whole house filteration (in my case, condo)

This setup surely looks messy with tubes hanging around.

It is general knowledge that cold water is not good for health in the long-run that can bring many illnesses. When one is young he can be immune but getting older the effects can translate to many negatives. You can google on the effects of cold water to health in general. There are many messages on the detrimental effects of ice cold water to healthy being circulated on Whatsapp social media. You ddin't get any? If still in doubt you can consult with any doctor or specialist to get general advice. Though the ill-effects of cold water to the body is general knowledge.

You can choose to believe what you believe. There is always a scientific explanation to the detrimental effects of cold water, but as you said, nothing is 100%. It's a choice that you would have to make. As for scientific "proof", the cases would usually be documented unofficially. There is no "official scientific proof" other than evidences or cases of people who fall sick easier or being unhealthy or getting all sort of sicknesses practicing an unhealthy lifestyle of frequently drinking ice-cold water. Of course, you can refute that saying you rarely fall sick or are healthy even though you frequently drink cold water or cold food, but that will not apply to everyone.

Sometimes you need to have some general knowledge and not just asking for scientific evidence or proof. It's just like when a teenager wants to cycle on public roads, the parent advised him not to cycle on public road due to the danger. The teenager then asks for the reason. There is no "scientific explanation" but common sense. Of course common sense will also relate to statistics on accidents which involve cyclists on roads. The danger will always be there whether it is common sense or not, and the only issue is whether the teenager takes the advice or not. Of course he can be safe by continuing to cycle on public roads, but that does not mean the danger is not there. It's the same with taking cold water frequently. You can say it is not harmful and wants "scientific explanation" to prove a point. Sometimes it is just general knowledge or common sense if one is aware about it. As I have mentioned, you can seek advice from those in the industry if you are not aware about this - doctors or specialists. That may not be scientific proof but it would be solid advice.

The above is just one simple analogy as there can be many other analogies that may be more appropriate to illustrate on the irrelevance of people asking for scientific proof and not wanting to take "general knowledge" or common sense as advice.

Just wondering why switch from Amway to Panasonic? Any health benefit that u really can feel after drinking alkaline water? I used to have a RUBINE alkaline machine but mom cant drink direct without boiling bcoz diarrhea and grandma cough whille others are OK with it. Tested for 6 months, dont c any health benefit, hence replaced the filter with the high end ones for better filtration instead of alkaline
