I was also sourcing around for undersink mounted, drink from tap filter. Another consideration is whether you want hot and cold water settin, and whether you want maintenance free filter.

If both is not needed, I recommend Bacfree. Can see their line up in Shopee. They also provide installation. They had to core my quartz stone counter top to install the tap. Overall satisfied with the quality and installation.

If I recall correctly I bought the 1.6k one with installation option. Single filter. The filter is installed under the sink, but they will install a small tap on the counter top. Hence, the bulky filter is hidden under the sink and inside the cabinet.

When I was shopping around I think I saw this one 3M model, same design but with 2 stage filter and LED filter life span indicator. It’s around 1.8k but no installation included. I didn’t go with this as it’s 2 filter which means you need to replace 2 at one go and there’s the battery for the LED which you need to replace periodically.

But again, like I say, consider those factors, then it’ll be easier to decide.

I can’t answer for other plumber but since I got it from Bacfree, everything was done by them. Coring of the quartz stone countertop, plumbing work, materials, and installation labor.

In terms of material, I think there’s hoses, a joint to split the water supply between the kitchen sink faucet to the water filter faucet, and the small faucet for the water filter.
