Fresca Disruptor completely removes or significantly reduces harmful substances found in tap water. They include:

- Sediment, such as rust, sand, mud, pollen
- Chlorine, chloroform, bromine, iodine
- 99.99% lead and other heavy metals (aresinc V, cadmium, chromium VI)
- 99.99% viruses (polio, rotovirus, norovirus, etc.)
- 99.99% bacteria (e coli, legionella, pseudomonas, etc.)
- 99.95% cysts (giardia, cryptosporidium, etc.)
- Humic Acid
- Ortho-phosphate
- PCBs, BPA (plastic byproducts)
- Penicillin G,Flumenquine
- Polysaccharides
- Ferric Iron
- Petrochemicals
- Phenols
- Volatile organic compounds
- Taste and odor


Fresca Disruptor is among the few filters that can get rid of bacteria and is among very and very few non RO systems that can filter out viruses.

To break the system down to stages:

Stage 1 is pleated polyester sediment filter at 1 micron nominal. This stage is there to mainly protect the next 2 stages of any sediment. It will cut off anything above 1 micron: dirt, dust, rust, stones, sand etc etc.

Stage 2 is a core of the system, stage that does all the heavy lifting. Made with new filter material from Ahlstrom (Finland/USA). In short, it is electroadsorptive technology media able to remove or significantly reduces all of the contaminants on the list above now also removes some chlorine and taste/odor.
You can read more about it by clicking the LINK

Stage 3 is high quality coconut activated carbon block. Since stage 2 takes out most of the bad things, what's remaining is chlorine and so called "smell and taste". 0.5 micron high flow carbon block clears it up giving the water a great and pure taste.




Back to quality and advantages of the system. To break it down:

- Manufactured in USA are: housings, stage 2-3 cartridges, the faucet. NSF certified
- Manufactured in UK are: tubing and all fittings (all by John Guest). NSF cetrified
- Manufactured elsewhere: water inlet valve (placed before the filter elements ), bracket (does not touch water), housing wrench




To summarize:


1. System uses industry standard parts (housings, fittings etc). All parts are covered by 2 years warranty, but even if something breaks afterwards, you just go and replace that part, easy to find, easy to change.

2. Cartridges are also industry standard size. You can always source various cartridges and apply any upgrades we may introduce later on.

3. Quality and safety for you and your family. Many people say "doesn't matter where it is made as long as it's NSF", but one thing to keep in mind is that NSF is certification system, it is not quality control system. US/UK top manufacturers have a well established supply chain, strict quality control and strict raw material control, this is why we carefully choose and source every component that touches water from these countries and suppliers only!

5. Washable stage 1 and 2. Unless you have a lot of iron (and iron clogs ANY filter quickly) system will not be dead clogged. Even if your water is extremely dirty, just take out the cartridges 1-2 and wash them.

Hi Hestati,

Am looking for a water purifier for my son's condo. He is staying there alone and his GF will come over the weekends. The unit is for drinking only s he does not cook.

Since you are selling both the Aquaphor Crystal Eco and your custom-built Fresca at the same price, objectively which 1 will give better end results in terms of better quality drinking water? Also, what would be the pros and cons of each product?

Thanks for your question. I chose FD for my own place. Will try to objectively tell why.

1. In FD, each and every component is sourced from a reliable supplier/manufacturer and I know exactly where they come from. QMP, Omnipure, John Guest, Ahlstrom just to name few. Most of these suppliers I visited personally when I worked in USA (QMP and Omnipure for example).

Now, I'm not saying Aquaphor is bad. But personally, I don't know who is the supplier for Aquaphor tubing for example, or who and where makes their faucet.


2. FD has a washable sediment filter as stage 1. I do not want to install PoE and therefore FD will get all the large dirt coming from the pipes. If it's getting clogged, I just take out and wash stage 1. If I want, I can even clean/sanitize stage 1 and 2.

If I was to install Aquaphor, I would add pre-filter to it.


3. FD can filter out more contaminants, for example viruses and chromium VI. Does it mean that we always have these contaminant? No, but filter is like your insurance, if something happens and the water gets these contaminants, FD will address them.


Of course Aquaphor has it's own + as well. Cartridges are easier to replace. Push the button and twist, you can have it changed in like 5 minutes. FD, you need to open the housings, take cartridges out, check if all is good and assemble it. Takes probably 15-20 min.

All in all, I believe that FD is a little better overall system than Aquaphor, not that there is a huge gap, but enough for me to choose FD over Crystal Eco for personal use.

P.S. I'm sorry there is still lack of clear graphical information about FD (comparison tables, flyers etc), working on it now. So far we've installed 2 systems, one more is tomorrow, 7 more left until the next batch from USA.

Hi bro.
The writeup on Stage 2 filter says it does not remove or removes some of these:

Arsenic V 8.5 pH*
Bromate
Manganese nitrate
Mercury 6.5 pH*
Mercury 8.5 pH*
NDMA
Sulfate
Geosmin
Arsenic III 6.5 pH*
Arsenic III 8.5 pH*
Bromine (white)
Ferrous Iron++ *
Soluble silica
Trihalomethanes (THM)
Chloramine*
VOC*

How will we handle these impurities?

Thanks

Valid concerns, and let me address them one by one, there are total of 16 on this list, I will make sure not to skip any. All the facts below can be verified from reliable sources. I can split them in few groups, 1. not a concern, 2. removed by stage 3 (carbon block), 3. RO required

In summary, 4 are not a concern, 7 are removed by stage 3 (carbon block), 5 can be only treated by RO type of system


Not a concern

1. Chloramine - not a concern at all, not used in Malaysia or in most of the world for that mater. In USA it is now used instead of chlorine and they have separate filters in US just for chloramine. Nasty stuff, not sure why US would use it, they say more effective against bacteria, but at a cost of being quite toxic and having byproducts.

2. NDMA - is mainly the by-products of chloramine (1) and is, again, mainly a concern for USA. It may be formed in very low quantities when chlorine is used, however the only way to reduce it is industrial UV, and exposure to UV required is 10x the requirement to kill viruses, so no, home UV will not address it either. RO can only remove 30-50% of it. Another problem with that is that no water regulation, except California, defines any safe levels for it. But again, since chloramine is not used in Malaysia, it is safe to assume that NDMA is not present.

3-4. Arsenic III 6.5 pH, Arsenic III 8.5 pH. Arsenic III oxidizes to Arsenic V in presence of chlorine (we all do have chlorine in our water, unless your water is well water). Arsenic V at PH 6.5+ is removed by stage 2, Arsenic V at PH8.5+ is addressed below.


Removed by stage 3

5. VOC is reduced by stage 2 and is removed by stage 3, i.e. carbon block

6. Bromine is removed by carbon block

7-8. Mercury at various PH. It is reduced by 60% by stage 2 and to 99.99% by stage 3

9. Trihalomethanes removed by carbon block. It's byproduct of chlorination.

10. Bromate. Not naturally occurring, it is formed during ozonation of water rich of bromine. Biggest concern is actually... bottled water. In 2004 they discovered that many bottled water brands had a lot of bromate. If exposed to large doses for long time it can be dangerous. Carbon block (stage 3) reduces 60-90% of bromate, depending on mineral content of water, more minerals in the water, less is the reduction. Since water in Malaysia is rather soft, with little minerals in it, carbon block is effective. RO system can reduce up to 98% of it.

11. Geosmin, this is what gives water "earthy taste". This is also found in some fresh water fish, when some fish smells more like "mud and bog". Non-toxic and removed by stage 3.


RO required

12. Arsenic V at PH8.5+. Drinking water is PH 6.5 to 8.5 and at this PH disruptor is very effective. Above PH 8.5, the only way to remove it is RO (up to 90%) and distillation (up to 98%). But if your water has PH higher than 8.5, then you have bigger concerns than arsenic, you must reduce PH.

13. Manganese nitrate. You need RO system to treat nitrate (and even that is not too effective), but these are present in well water, rivers and lakes, not in municipal water. Boiling will not help either, in fact, if any nitrates are present, boiling will increase the concentration.

14. Ferrous iron. It is reduced by 80%, so it is marked as "some removal" (significant removal would be over 95% level). Ferrous iron is not in any way hazardous to health, however it can have aesthetics effect (if it's too much, water becomes brownish). And iron in any state, ferrous or ferric is a bad bad bad thing for any filter (but again, it is ok for your health, in fact we need iron in our body). For example, with too much iron in water, RO membrane will last only 2-3 months. If it is found that your water has too much iron, then you must have special iron filter. They are expensive and even they get blocked quite quickly and cannot be cleaned/regenerated. Luckily we don't have much iron in our water in Malaysia.

15. Soluble silica. Again, silica is not bad for our body and has no health effects, in fact there are even silica supplements. However, it is called "contaminant" because it forms scale. If you have too much scale (say you boil your water and the bottom of the kettle has white deposits) then you need RO membrane. But since water in Malaysia is very soft, I'm yet to see any significant scale build up.

16. Sulfate. Again, this is not a health hazardous contaminant, but large doses may have laxative effect and give water a bitter taste. The only reasonable method to remove sulfates for home application is RO.



In conclusion, as I said numerous times, if your water comes from unknown source, you have scale problem or you want the best possible filtration you must go for RO. However, RO has a lot of disadvantages and it's a bit of overkill for Malaysia. RO makes sense in regions where water is very hard and you also need to get rid of the excess minerals. For all intents and purposes and remaining realistic, Disruptor will be one of the best under counter system in terms of contaminant removals, superior to Amway, 3M, Aquaphor or Aquasana, but still cannot match RO systems in terms of number of things it can filter out.

Thanks for your explanation

Another installation today, this time surprisingly at my neighbor's place, he found out about the filter through Lowyat (thank you Lowyat!)

In our area, we get close to 4 bar pressure (60psi or so), so we get about 1L of filtered water every 15 seconds, so 4L of water in 1 munute!

free installation cannot ?

2 last spots for free installations left! As I promised, first 5 systems will be free installation. 3 installed already, 2 left.

During free installation I come, tell you about the system, describe it, and if you allow, I take pictures.

Please let me know if interested.

I am from JB. Can get free installation too?
This FD not promoted at Lazada?
Can make payment by creditcard?
I am currently using Fiber Membrane POE system (pic attached) and it is time to replace the membrane that cost rm400. If I use FD, is it still necessary to have this POE?

Attached thumbnail(s)

FD is designed to work without any outdoor filter, so you will no need this membrane. First stage of FD is washable pleated polyester, so if you water is bad, just take it out and wash first stage. 2nd stage is also washable, just in case.

Unfortunately, no free installation for Johor, it's too far for me. I can offer free shipping though and 100RM off, but please send me pictures of installed system. Installation is fairly simple, can DIY easily or hire a contractor to do it for 100rm or so. (I will send installation instructions and video).

2 years warranty and 30 days satisfaction guarantee still applies.

And yes, if you want by credit card, I will create Shopee listing for it, so you can pay by CC.

May I know why do we need all the 3 replacement cartridges if stage 1 & 2 is washable?

I believe stage 3 which is the carbon should be changed maybe after 1 year of usage, but if the stage 1 & 2 are washable, do we need to also change it every year?

Good question.

Yes, 1 and 2 are washable and any cartridge can be sold separately. So yes, if 1 and 2 are not physically damaged or blocked by iron, can change only stage 3, the carbon block.

Stage 1 and 2 can last longer, but still advertised time is 1 year. The reason is, if I advertise 2-3 years and people ignore washing it, the will complain that there is no flow.

So the process is like that, once a year (or whenever the flow drops, say you have too much sediment for example in your area) open and examine stage 1 and 2. If no physical damage, wash and reuse, change stage 3. Pressure should be back to normal.

And yes, just to confirm, cartridges will be available for sale individually. But for general consumer (outside of Lowyat) will still advertise as 1 year life for cartridges..

Thanks for the respond. So if let say the stage 1 & 2 are not physically damaged or blocked, would it go longer than 2-3 years? I mean if we do the washing regularly will it last more than 2-3 years? Because this is very interesting, I believe most if not all the water filters now in the market need to change the filters every year. Your product will eliminate that, we only need to change the stage 3 annually.

Filters still degrade. I would still change it after 2 years even if it looks ok. Can you make it last longer? Probably, but then you better test it and see how it performs, not worth it I believe. I mean, you could do that, but I still would advertise it as 1 year + service live. Also, always have iron in water, even if not much. It will block the filter eventually.

Even plastic parts (housings etc) are explosion proof for first 5 years only and all manufacturers mention it in one way or the other to not have any liability after 5 years.

Bro, when you say the housings, filter cartridges, faucet, diverter, tubings and fittings that are manufactured in the USA/UK are NSF certified, is it NSF 42 or NSF 53 or both?

Also, I tried finding more info about Fresca. Can't seem to find it though. Can help to point in the right direction?

Hello, everything is NSF 42 except stage 2, stage 2 is NSF 42 and NSF 61. NSF 53 is usually for systems, rather than individual components, rarely you can see 53 applied to components. NSF 61 is highest for filter material though, Disruptor material.

As for Fresca, it is our in house brand. System is designed by pretty much... me, from absolutely best components available.

If you have any specific questions, please don't hesitate, I will gladly answer to any kind of questions. Thanks!


CORRECTION, Stage 1 is NSF 61, not NSF 42, sorry for confusion. NSF 61 is for cartridge media of mechanical cartridges, NSF 42 is mainly for properties like chlorine reduction etc.

i couldn't find the certification for this product in NSF website
http://www.nsf.org/certified-products-systems

is it because the company not renewing the test with NSF ?

Were you looking for Fresca? Fresca is not there. As I mentioned, components of the system are all NSF certified. The system itself does not have a certificate with it's name on it. For example, the faucet is by QMP and it is listed under QMP, fittings are by John Guest and therefore listed under John Guest.

Note also, that it is not always right to check NSF certification only from the website you mentioned. NSF standard can be certified by IAPMO for example, (it is accredited by ANSI/NSF) and this would be the case for Disruptor filter. All certificates for individual parts are available upon request.

Yup want to verify the certification for the 3 filters/catariadge

Please provide me your email and I will gladly send the certification for all 3 stages. I prefer not to display it in public, since this way I may reveal suppliers/OEMs information to potential competitors and in fact some OEMs do not even allow that.

And I stand corrected, stage 1 is NSF61 and not 42. Mechanical (sediment) cartridge cannot be 42, 61 is the highest for the sediment cartridge media. I want to be transparent about it and and not just edit my posts, but rather mention the correct information.

Steven.ck.heng@gmail.com
Awaiting your email

Emailed. Thanks!

One last spot left for free installation! I have many people interested, but no one pulled a trigger so far

How's the maintenance plan looks like?
Stage 1 & Stage 2 - washable - understood

but how about the filters' life expectancy? Where to find them? How much are they (separately and as a bundle)?


Besides that, you mentioned about industrial standard size - can you show some examples on the alternative filters?

Stage 1 and 2 washable, stage 3 must change every year.

Stage 3 cost is 80RM, all 3 stages are 300RM. So in short, realistically it will look like that. After 1 year, wash stage 1-2 and change stage 3 (80RM). After 2 years, change all 3 (300RM).

If anything happens (say you have too much iron) and your stage 1 gets blocked in 1st year, you need to buy them separately for some reason:

1st stage is 50RM
2nd stage is 200RM
3rd stage is 80RM


And thanks for asking, I will make them all available on Shopee soon.

As for other examples, yes, will post them here soon, let me just find few worth posting.

For stage 2, there is nothing equivalent for now, except Disruptor from say USWaterSystems, but I'm sure it is coming soon by other brands.

For stage 1, there are plenty of NSF certified melt blown filters by Taiwanese companies or by Pentek or Omnipure. Pentek has NSF pleated cartridges as well.

For stage 3, again, Omnipure, Filtrex Green or MatriKX, however, be very careful with MatriKX. There used to be plenty of fakes of these filters, and they still are out there, I see them on Lazada. KX was recently bought by Warren Buffet and they moved all production outside of USA, as far as I know they completely stopped producing carbon blocks in USA and now make them mostly in India, some in Singapore. US suppliers bought all remaining stock of US made cartridges, but even that is now gone.

Another beauty of the universal system is that say you want to upgrade to RO (I mentioned it before) without tank. Then all you do is sediment+carbon+carbon, then just add 400GPD membrane on top and you pretty much have tankless RO system. Or let's say we start using chloramine in Malaysia (hope it never happens, but still), replace stage 3 by chloramine cartridge and you're set. Or let's say you decide you don't want fluoride, then simply upgrade stage 3 to bone char carbon block.

All that is easy to do with standard system, in case of say Aquaphor or Aquasana or 3M or pretty much any other system, you will have to buy pre/post filters instead of replacing cartridges, and these are not cheap, unless you go for some from local hardware shop. But then you have NSF filter for 1000RM+ with who-knows-what post filter housing/fittings/tubing.

Friends, since one of the members reserved Fresca Disruptor today, I do not have under sink configuration (meaning I'm missing USA faucets for now. You can either get original 3M faucet (but not made in USA), have installed on top of the counter with diverter, or wait a little bit for faucet to arrive from USA.

Sorry for the inconvenience, demand for under sink was more than I expected. For some reason, most Aquaphor buyers take top of counter, most Fresca buyers take under sink...

Yesterday's installation, granite countertop drilled. Good water pressure at condo. Many thanks to the customer who allowed to take photos, you have a lovely neat condo.

Notice long tubing, it's done on purpose, so that maintenance can be done without disconnecting the system. Just shut the water, release the pressure by opening faucet, take the system out, put it near the sink and wash/replace cartridges. No mess, no water spills. Will film a video after to address all concerns that "changing cartridges is difficult".

Dear friends, sorry, we are temporarily out of stock for FD. Scheduled to receive more stock next week. Sorry for inconvenience, demand for FD was more than we could have expected. Thank you for your patience and understanding

SYSTEM IS BACK IN STOCK, sorry for keeping you all waiting!

Hi, I've decided to pull the trigger for this system. May I know how I can proceed with the purchase?

Thank you for your interest! I will send you a PM

Dear LYN members, we had a large group buy at one of the new condos, so we have less than 10 FD left. Re stock coming in August, so if you are planning to get a system for yourself, please reserve it with me.

Thanks!

Hi. Can you pm me the price including installation?

All PMs and requests replied, sorry, was away in Melaka

Hi, can PM price for FD and a POE filter?

Cheers

are you selling the parts separately? Looking at the housing and filters..

Let me know..

You mean everything except the faucet pretty much? Yes, can be done as well. People who choose counter top configuration often do not take a faucet

ok can PM me the price? what your advise if i wanted to maintain 2 stage filtering? am using the normal transparent type filter housing..

thank you

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...

Friends, WE ARE BACK WITH STOCK!

Sorry for this super long wait for some, will do our best not to run out of stock in the future!

Hi can you share the overall dimension of the FD vs Aquaphor?

Sure,

Aquaphor is 26x34x9 (cm)
Disruptor is 32x39x14 (cm)

So basically Aquaphor is more compact, but it is not self standing.

We now FINALLY have the maintenance video ready. Tried our best to make it as clear as possible. Any comments are welcome!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFAye8Kmpko

Great news! All our products now qualify for installments plan on Shopee. 6 or 12 months. You can make a purchase on Shopee and we either send the system to you or come and install.

New PoE+PoU packages!

hi, can pm total cost + installation fee at JB?

Will reply now, but unfortunately we have no installer in JB area

Many happy customers went for a 2nd year, changing stage 3 only, since stage 1 and 2 are still in great shape in places where there is no excess iron.

This post has been edited by hestati: Aug 15 2019, 12:05 PM

Bought one set and they helped to install it.
Best decision ever. Not only did they carefully explained everything, but gave such great assurance and customer service. Once again, thank you for everything.

Thank you very much for your purchase and for your kind review!

Is it hard to install 20” Poe?

It is not, but you much have the right tools if you want to DIY it. If we pre-assemble bypass, then from the tools you need a drill only.

Can drink directly from the tap without boiling?

Yes, with Disruptor you definitely can.

hi bro, replacement cartridges in stock?

Hi, yes, stock is ready.

Just change the old water filter to the US Disruptor set. Reason, low flow rate after around 6-8 weeks.

Would like to thank him for the great service  When i just enquire about something, he is ever willing to share his opinions.

As i'm not brand conscious and he has the components that touches water and the filter cartridges are NSF certified, it's good enough.

IMO, This is the most affordable and effective water filter without bleeding your wallet dry. 😁

Will see how's the flow rate over the next few weeks/months.

Thank you for the review and for purchase! Hope the flow stays healthy for much longer than your previous filter!

Hi !! After using for around 8/9days, was asked by wifey on the flow rate. Even thou it's better from previous (~1.3L/min(new)) to ~1.65L/min(new).
Would like to increase the the flow rate further. Any advise?
Further down the road, would also need to upgrade the system, maybe like additional carbon block that cover slightly different/better spec like NSF/ANSI 53 or NSF Protocol P473. Any of this currently in your arsenal?

You need to get a pump to further increase the flow.

As for additional contaminants, Disruptor cartridge removes most of these that could be possibly removed by activated carbon.

This was the answer given previously by the sales person who instal the previous filter system.
As our flow rate was quite low after a few weeks of usage.
He also recommend a storage tank, just like a RO system but i turn him down.

Well at least your system are better on the flow rate. Just hopping can find a better pre-filter with a better flow.
Would a pleated polyester with more media coverage helps in the flow? Willing to give a try. Thanks

Limiting factor is always carbon block, not pre-filter. Easier to install the pump if you really want the flow to be honest.

Yes, with the helps of a pump. It will definitely raise up the flow rate by leaps and bounds.

Imo with a better pre-filter like more surface media or a quality rated higher flow rate will also helps.
It will not be as better than the pump but it do provide a slightly better flow which in turn will improve the flow on the carbon side. Correctly me if i'm wrong.

Need advise on the washing the pre-filter.
Is it possible or better to back wash the pre-filter than the method that you post?

You can't backwash pre-filter, it will damage it. Anything pleated polyester cannot be backwashed, unless it is specifically designed for backwash.

You can just remove all the cartridges and see how is the flow. My guess, even with all cartridges removed, your flow will not be significantly better. Stage 1-2 and pre filter also have almost 0 impact on flow (when clean)

Thanks on the advise of not to back wash the pre-filter.
Will check on the flow rate maybe in a few weeks time.
Maybe will take out all the filter to gauge the flow and see how's the flow like.😁

Hi I am looking for a water filter.
Currently I have the 3M mini poe as I am in a condo.
I am looking for a POU such as 3M Indoor Water Filter DWS2500T CN.

DWS2500T CN has a 0.2 micron rating and this one only has 0.5 rating.
Does it mean that DWS2500T CN is cleaner and safer to drink?

Thanks

Hi, thanks for the question.

Disruptor does not work the same way. Yes, stage 1 is 1 micron for sediment removal, stage 3 is carbon block with 0.5 micron pores for best chlorine removal, but the core of the system is stage 2, Disruptor cartridge.

Disruptor cartridge has nominal of 1.2 micron, but the way it works is by creating a positive low electrical charge through whole depth of it, meaning it can trap 99.99% of negatively charged contaminants regardless of how small they are. I hope I explained it clearly, but there are couple of links which explain it even in more details, including a source from NASA.

In practical terms it means that Disruptor will be able to remove a lot more contaminants than 3M DWS2500 you have mentioned. That 3M is directly comparable to Aquaphor Crystal Eco, but Disruptor is more advanced. In the PDF above, you can check different technology comparison, where 3M is UF membrane.

Hope it helps.

Thank you for the detailed response.
Will find a time to properly go through the links.

still cheaper than 3M by the looks of it

Sure,,may you have any questions, please let me know.

the POE is not suitable for a condo right?

Depends, we did install in condo as well. Would your management allow you to install in the meter room? If not, are there pipes easily accessible inside the condo? You mentioned you have 3M mini PoE, where is it installed? It can be replaced with 10" version of our PoE or 20" if it fits. But what is wrong with 3M mini PoE? Requires often cartridge changes?
