QUOTE(BL98 @ Feb 15 2024, 10:30 AM) LG filter rental only RM50 per month. RM50?Free maintenance and filter exchanges If got relocation, free summor. and got warranty coverage for the whole rental period. 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'm using Aquasana and find that it's quite good. Water has no weird taste and it's according to 4 NSF standard. Filter manufactured in US. They're a big water filter company with commercial solutions too. So, it will not be too bad. https://shopee.com.my/(Ready-Stock!)-AQ...a4-ac885e376eff iGamer liked this post

QUOTE(WaCKy-Angel @ Feb 15 2024, 10:33 AM) Debatable. The amount makes a difference in the long run, and it also changes the composition of the water. RO water is slightly acidic which is not good for your kidneys. It also makes the water less stable due to the lack of minerals, which means it can leach of whatever it comes into contact with. Which potentially leads to more toxicity (metal/plastic from pipes/bottle/cups/etc)/ RO is purest no bacteria no vitamins no minerals. But what water needs to do (rehydrate) it definitely serves its purpose. Those minerals whatsoever even exists in water also wouldnt make much difference coz the amount is too little. Jew can get minerals from food. On the other hand, alkaline water imo too much is not good. You can mitigate all these factors, but its effort you really have to put in. WaCKy-Angel liked this post
