Fresca Lite removes or significantly reduces most harmful substances found in tap water. They include:

- Sediment, such as rust, sand, mud, pollen
- Chlorine, chloroform, bromine, iodine
- 99.99% lead and mercury
- 99.99% viruses
- 99.99% bacteria
- 99.99% cysts
- Asbestos
- Petrochemicals
- Phenols
- Volatile organic compounds
- Taste and odor


Fresca Lite 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 5 micron nominal. This stage is there to mainly protect the next 2 stages of any sediment. It will cut off anything above 5 micron: dirt, dust, rust, stones, sand etc etc.

Stage 2 is a heavily modified coconut shell carbon block, does all the heavy lifting: lead, mercury, VOCs, chlorine, taste and odor etc.

Stage 3 is truly disruptive technology from California, USA. It is Quantum Disinfection media - kills viruses and bacteria on contact. Does not introduce chemicals into the water, does not require electrical power. The media uses quantum mechanic principles of electron movement to create surface catalytic sites, bacteria are instantly destroyed through a catalytic electron exchange. This is the first time such a technology has been used to disinfect water.




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

- Manufactured in USA are: stage 2 and 3 filter cartridges, the faucet and the diverter valve (you can choose 3M stylish faucet instead). NSF certified.
- Manufactured in UK are: tubing and all fittings (all by John Guest). NSF cetrified
- Manufactured in Taiwan: housings (NSF certified), stage 1 filter
- Manufactured elsewhere: all other elements that do not touch water





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. If Fresca goes out of business, decides to increase the price beyond acceptable etc, you can always source cartridges from elsewhere.

3. Easy to upgrade to extra stages or turn the whole system in RO system (thanks to all standard parts).

4. Washable stage 1. 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 and wash them.

Feel free to challenge me, ask me any questions, voice concerns etc. I will reply them with all honesty.

How many months I need to replace the cartridges?

1 year. Also, stage 1 is washable, so if it is prematurely blocked, you can just wash it.

1. What's the difference between this and the Fresca Disruptor?

2. Do you provide a guide on how to install the system manually?

1. In terms of filtration and purity of water, there is no much difference. Disruptor covers more of rather rare contaminants (arsenic, chromium VI for example).

I would say that advantages of Disruptor are:

- 1 micron made in USA NSF sediment filter (we now upgraded it to 1 micron). Lite has 5 micron high quality Taiwan sediment filter, not NSF
- USA made housings. These are really top quality ones. Lite has Taiwan NSF housings, also high quality, but when you compare the 2, you can really feel the difference
- Washable stage 1 and 2. Lite has only stage 1 washable. In theory, Disruptor stage 1 and 2 can last for 2 years.
- Carbon block... Disruptor has a carbon block with only function to remove chlorine, any cartridge with just 1 function performs better than cartridge with few functions. Lite has a heavily modified carbon block, designed to remove 99% lead, cyst, VOCs. For now, both are made in USA, but Lite carbon block production will probably be moved to India soon (decision of the OEM, not something we can control). Nothing to worry about though, since stage 3 (Quantum Disinfector) can still take out chlorine even if it goes through stage 2.

Overall, think about Lite as 3M Easy Complete on steroids. It has a pre-filter, it has a post filter to kill bacteria/viruses, it is made in USA (at least for now) and it costs less than 3M. Disruptor is in a league of it's own, with new, innovative technology and maximum coverage of contaminants.

Lite also has advantages over Disruptor:

- more compact system. For those who travel a lot and for those who want to install system on top of the counter Lite makes sense.
- Lite is cheaper. This is the main reason we designed it, for people who find that they cannot afford 1200 for Aquaphor/Disruptor, or for lite use applications (we had a customer who bought Lite for a boat and other one who purchased it for his 2nd weekend home). I believe this is one of the very few systems in this price range that is made of highest quality components, is almost 100% NSF and makes it possible to drink straight from the filter without boiling.



2. Yes, there are plenty of videos online on how to install this kind of systems and we will also provide PDF/printed instructions. Installation is similar to Aquaphor or even 3M Easy Complete and we're planning to also film our own installation video. Installation is very simple, anyone who can do minimum DIY can install it, the only challenging part is drilling a 12mm hole for a faucet if it is installed under the sink.

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.

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.

Hello, with this system is it possible to attach it to an existing tap (under the sink) so that I can drink filtered water straight from the tap? This is for a condo in PJ.

Technically yes, but not recommended to connect to existing tap, your tap is not necessarily safe for pure drinking water, may not be lead free, etc. But yes, like I said, technically can do it.

ah okay, cause I'm going to change countertop for my new place and I am looking into options for filtered water... so if it's undersink it would be better to have a separate tap for it, and would need to drill a hole for it? cause I prefer a solution that looks the neatest without cluttering my countertop.

Also, how long before I need to replace the parts? Just wanna be sure of the maintenance costs on average per year, and what needs to be changed.

Please see the picture above, that would be the neatest solution, however, the faucet is a bit more expensive, it is 150RM more if you take this configuration , but it will be 2 in 1 faucet, very neat. Needs 32mm hole though for main.

As for maintenance, for Lite gotta change cartridges once a year at 260 RM

If you absolutely want to have all the water filtered through main kitchen faucet (not 2 in 1) then it is also possible, but with Disruptor only. Lite has 1/4 port size limitation which will make flow very weak.

Quantum Disinfection was now exclusively sold to a company in USA, but we will be still getting OEM QD cartridges, so no price or availability is affected

Can reshare the pictures to install just 1 main faucet with both, clean and tap water function?
The pictures seemed to not appear anymore

This is strange, because I can still see the pictures. Will send you a PM to double check.

Hi,
Can the replacement cartridge bought separately? since stage 1 is washable, i assume can last about 2 years? What is the cost for each replacement cartridge?

In theory yes, in practice, for Lite, just replace all 3. Stage 1 is very cheap and stage 2-3 would cost separately pretty muchc as much as when it is a set of all 3. All 3 are 250RM, we can make just stage 2-3 for 230RM, but I doubt it is worth it, might as well replace stage 1 for extra 20RM.

Stage 1 is washable, but not as easily washable as the one of Disruptor. So it is mostly washable to prevent clogging rather than reuse.

But yes, if you absolutely want to keep stage 1, we can do that for 230RM for 2+3.

Since MatriKX moved their production to India, we now work elusively with Omnipure USA for our carbon blocks, these are still 100% US made

is it possible to purchase the step 3 only? (QD)

Yes, definitely. You can purchase stage 3 and add to Aquasana. I will PM you.

Dear Hestati,
Sorry to dig up 2018 post. Is the the water heater tankless type? If yes, do you sell this type of setup as I can't find it on Shopee?
FYI, I'm going to move in to a new apartment and hope to buy a similar set like what you had shown together with either Fresca Disrupter or Lite as I don't need cold water dispenser and can DIY myself.
Let me know or PM me. Thanks.
