LG filter rental only RM50 per month.

Free maintenance and filter exchanges

If got relocation, free summor.

and got warranty coverage for the whole rental period.

RM50?

I do see the LG Puricare with RM60/mth promotion, but that is commitment for years that will totalled RM5k plus.

The cheapest way is to install a sand filter outside your house, install an activated carbon filter in your kitchen and boil the water before drinking.

If you have more budget, find a way to add UV filter into your system. If you have even more budget, you can add more filters in your kitchen. If the sand filter does most of the work, your filters should last longer.

Most big brands already make it a convenient filter packaging (and it come with convenience tax of course). Panasonic all in one filter is fairly cheap, easy to use and replace. You can install that after the sand filter in the kitchen.

I do boil for drinking water, so UV is redundant and boiling wins over UV any day.

Panasonic basic filter is just basic activated carbon filter (same with my current Joven filter), they don't filter out heavy metals.

Ayam using Coway its around RM50/month free warranty free change filter and cleaning. Ayam not sure how more budget is budget.

Some ppl say buy bottled mineral water is cheaper.

Both water machine and bottled water also u wont really know the filtration really works or not unless u so sample test frequently.

Btw imo dont need to be that kiasi. Ayam bet the probability of death by accident is higher chance than death by heavy metal.

Heavy metals in drinking water also causes harm to the lungs, liver, kidneys, and other vital organs. Heavy metals are also known as carcinogens that can cause cancer.

If immediate die no suffering (ayam prefer heart attack wink.gif ), but more likely we get organs damage over prolong exposure to heavy metals in drinking water that leads to long term suffering.

YOLO la bro no need kiasi.

U drink outside water how? Still can mati right?

the keyword is prolong ingestion, you don't patronize the same eatery for drink every day right? But you drink your home water daily mah.

immediate mati ok je, ayam just wanna avoid long term suffering where possible, otherwise need to burn charcoal biggrin.gif

here i do a google search for u,.. activated carbon can absorb heavy metal,..

"The carbon-based adsorption technique is widely applied in environmental protection, and biomass-derived activated carbon is recognized as one of the most economical and promising adsorbents for heavy metal removal."

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P...metal%20removal.

....yet most basic water filter system dare not mention filtering of heavy metals in their product description...

If their product can filter heavy metals, don't you think they will put it among key features of the product to rival pricier competitor products? blush.gif

activated carbon is just a basic material,.. no different in different brand,..

doesn't matter, every basic activated carbon filter also mention filter out chlorine, odour, rust...... but none of them dare to mention filter out heavy metals (except those pricier filter with more filter elements).

They don't dare to mention it in product description because it doesn't filter out heavy metals, otherwise they can be sued for misleading product info.

well,.. even the link of Gov website i provided above, also confirmed it absorb heavy metal,.. i don't think Gov lied on water safety,.

BTW house pipe water is processed water,.. i don't think there's any concentration of heavy metal,..
*
From the processing plant to your home, you know how many kilometres of rusted pipes it went thru before reaching your faucet? If stay at apartment, there's that huge water tanks also....

rusted pipes leads to leaking pipes, means your water can be contaminated by many other sources lah.

Up to you lah, ayam just asking for recommendation of budget filter, you go live your happy life and ayam will live mine. blush.gif

if pipe leak,.. water go outside,.. outside material can't go inside b'cos of pressure,..

i already recommended u any cheap micro pores ceramic filter (can filter up to microns, but best u got sand filter outside),.. then it go next to activated carbon filter,.. that would be cheap, suffice and safe,..

if u really scared,.. then don't go cheap,.. just buy RO,..
*
The Cosway table top filter from ktards recommendation in first post got ceramic element, i think that one suit my budget more. Apartment usage only lah.

So what is ur budget u didnt mentioned.

Btw other things u need to decide is tankless or tank. And hot water or no.
Ppl say tank kiasi bacteria grow inside.
For hot water ppl say if water keep re-boiled is not good.
Gosh so much things to decide for a cup of water
*
ayam boil drinking water the conventional way, not using those electric pot that will keep reboiling the same water.
Germs is not a concern with boiled water.
