will PM now

i am interested in FD. can you pm me. questions:

1) how much do you charge for shipping? i am from Penang.
2) is it easy to install? can normal plumber do it? instructions?
3) do you have any certification for genuine parts etc.? whatever else to back your claims? send it to me?


i was reading the water filter thread https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3615495/+2400.
i have one comment for you, you definitely want to get some certification to back your claims.
Without it I have to rely on trust that your system does what you say it does (for a good price).
The main reason I am inclined to believe you is because you argue with solid facts without any marketing bs and you sound like a proper water specialist/engineer i.e. not MLM saleman
if you are selling to the general public who have never heard of you before how will you convince them to trust you?
will they be willing to use your filter that they randomly found online for their family etc (no matter how cheap)?
would you do that?

just my 2 cents

1. Shipping is actually free

2. Yes, we have the manual on how to install it and any good plumber or even yourself would be able to do it. Quite easy to install, I would say the most difficult part is to drill a hole if required.

3. Yes, sure, can send the certification proof of the cartridges, please send your email.


As for certification, I agree it would be a good thing to have something. However, here's the issue, how to certify it? Ideally, you would do something like performance report from California, where they would take each and every contaminant that is listed, check against the filter, record initial concentration and final concentration of this contaminant etc. This certification is expensive as hell and very few brands do it. In fact, it is only done by brands that sell in California.

The certification must make sense. Like Aquaphor Malaysia, they took a sample of water and, passed it to a local lab, tested it, it passed all the tests and they concluded "well, it is now good to drink". However, what exactly do you test that way? What was the source of that water (maybe was taken from tap water, maybe bottled water, maybe pond water)? How old was the cartridges when it was tested? Now, of course, Aquaphor is a well known brand and I do not doubt the performance of the filter, but in my opinion, this particular test was completely useless.

The other way is to contaminate tap water with most "popular" contaminants, say lead, some bacteria, add some VOC to it and then bring this water to the lab, bring the system to the lab, test the water before, run it through the filter, test after. Do it all in independent lab. We're planning to do exactly that.

To be honest, the only real certifying body in water filter industry is NSF. But even then, most will just get NSF 42, because anything else is really expensive even for big companies (again, unless you intend to sell in California, pretty much no one does it). So having NSF (at least 42, disruptor itself also has 61) + very reputable manufacturers of all the parts, leaders of the industry who's reputation is flawless is the second best certification after "California type" certification of course.

Some systems though are very easy to test, RO for instance. Just measure the TDS and that's your rejection rate. Unfortunately for any non RO it becomes quite difficult to do meaningful test. This is not only for Fresca, but other systems out there, including Aquaphor, Coway and all other non RO systems except those sold in California (3M, Aquasan, but these do not get rid of bacteria).

Have only 2 systems left and 2 on reserve. More stock coming in 2 weeks

Since everyone is asking, SST will not affect our prices, at least for time being. No need to rush to order before Sep 1st

Got restock! We will not be affected by SST, at least for now

For installation on quartz stone kitchen top, do we need to prepare the hole ahead of the FD installation or u will drill the hole when u come to install ?

We can drill when we come to install, no issue.

Dear members, stage 1 is now 1 micron sediment instead of 5 micron. Stage 3 will be upgraded soon to 0.5 micron by the end of the year (now 1 micron).

This does not affect the price of the system. And this is where the big advantage of standard size sytems comes into play, all upgrades are 100% compatible.

Got the FD from Hestati for my new house. Fast delivery, good packing, quality system and easy to install on my own.. Very knowledgeable and patience seller... Thumbs up

Thank you for your kind words! Enjoy clean water and hope it will serve you for many years!

There is now a possibility to install just 1 main faucet with both, clean and tap water function. Very compact design for small kitchens, solution with instant hot dispenser plumber in to the filter below as well through a t-joint.

Who is this for? People who cannot drill extra hole (rented unit), just need to enlarge current faucet hole to 35mm, which is invisible to landlord. Once you move out, just replace the faucet with the original one.

Also, great for someone who is planning to remodel his home, solid matte finish faucet with cold/hot/clean water.

Faucet is designed by Kaiser, Germany, but made in China... The only recommendation for clean water freaks like me is to flush it for 5 seconds or so every morning and when not used for long time.

More pics under spoiler.

Dear friends and customers. My phone broke and it impossible to restore, so I lost all Whatsapp conversations since end of August. If I promised you anything or forgot to message you, please remind me on Whatsapp. Sorry for that inconvenience.

Is your whatsapp backup to google drive? Mine is auto backup every week, I think, but I can remember how it was done?
If u have a gmail account, why dont you log into your google drive and see under the <backup> folder.

Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately that option was off. And being used to Telegram, I just assumed that everything is always saved in the cloud, which apparently was not the case...

Actually, forgot to mention, but we now use 0.5 micron carbon block in Fresca Disruptor, upgrade from 1 micron. Anyone who would get new cartridges or new system nowadays will automatically get this upgrade. So stage 3 is now officially 0.5 micron.

Sorry, guys, sold out the filters. New stock coming in about 2 weeks. Thanks everyone for your support, we had amazing November and December, sold out everything

Here is the article from NASA, which will help you to better understand the origins of Disruptor (cartridge, not the whole system) and the technology behind.

Stock should be in this week, promised on 29th by the shipping company. Sorry for the delays, we will change shipping company for our next shipment.

Dear all who are waiting for Disruptor. The issue is with customs now. Shipment is in Malaysia and ready to be delivered within 2 hours. But suddenly, customs decided not to classify filters as filters. We now need to prove it to them that this product is in fact water filters...

Really sorry for the delay, but it is outside of our control that customs, after many shipments decide now that for some reason filters are not filters anymore...

I'm speechless, sorry...
