I plan to install a pull out water tap... and the renovation guy says cannot fix the water filter head to it...

I am currently using https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q...hpJuikNGexcgw&s panasonic water filter...

he recommended to connect to a small pipe at the corner left upper end sink... can i ask which brand of water filter should i buy then?

i just need a simple one actually. thanks for helping.

Mostly got 2 incoming water meaning got 2 separate water on/off handle, meaning got 2 water incoming meaning satu bagi purifier water the other just tap water , 3 way meaning can pull out and stationary already 2 way the other 1 way just for purifier aka 3 way

You show your plumber he should be able to using some flexible hose, some water purifier hose, some connector, some PVC T socket, some PVC plug and some male to female socket or both male socket kind of lego way and everything hide under counter top assuming your tap water source is from your bottom counter water sink.

If u still cannot imagine i draw u some diagram 😂

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.
*
Thanks for the recommendation

I saw bacfree and also 3m.
Bacfree is pricier and on sink
3m is cheaper and under sink

🤔

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.
*
Thanks a lot. Yes. They'll drill a hole.

3M now has single filter. Very similar to bacfree. Will consider my options. Thanks again

Maybe can replace your plumber and find more experience plumber?

The faucet have 2 incoming, wall tap water out install T socket

Then T socket can split one for filter water then exit to faucet then other side straight to faucet tap water

If like this your plumber also tak faham how to do it can just ask the plumber close for business and ask him balik kampung dong dong qiang lagi baik.

I'll ask him again. Thanks.

These days you know people don't like to think hard..


QUOTE(AbbyCom @ Feb 28 2025, 01:59 AM)
Can share the shopee/ecommerce site link to the black coloured faucet you showed? To be fair to TS, it wasn't clear that it has two sources even though it is.

Actually I was looking more for 1 tap can pull out, one is regular tap and another with the water filter outlet - that is very specific niche - and I afraid it's gonna cost a lot.

Went to Mr DIY and saw a few that I like (but don't have the 3 outlets that I wanted) but then no stock, only got display units, sigh....
*
Yes. I'd like to know too

The setup is something like this, right?

So, changing the tap to a pull out/down type... will require a different setup for the water filter, as what the contractor recommended, right?

QUOTE(ScooterBoi @ Feb 28 2025, 03:36 PM)
Now, you planning to change the filter to a under sink type...

If you used back the current water filter, the 2-tap setup as shown will work if one side can change to a pull out/down tap, and the other to be fixed to the water filter.

But will not work if you change to a undersink filter. Will need to cut another hole for the water pipe... as mentioned in 1st post.
*
your explanation is perfect!

if use two tap set up, the set up looks ugly actually, so will change to undersink, more neater looking...

got it, thanks a lot thumbup.gif

So... it's back to the initial recommendation, cutting another hole for the water filter...  regardless whether the filter is on the counter or hidden underneath.

yes...

your photo just made me remember i have that water filter from my old property which i have sold... so im going to buy a 3rd water filter for under sink purpose, and will keep the 2 water filter....

I use undersink filter because countertop is an asset. If I put water filter on top, then space next to sink would be reduced.

Yes. need to make small hole to install drinking faucet. I put it away to corner of sink so that I can put big high bottle in side the sink and I can use also counter top to fill canister with filtered water.

Thanks for the advice. Also look tidier too

If on the top, you have 2 option, either on the counter or on the piping

Macam the below

Or on the pipe

You can use ceramic carbon filter instead of plain ceramic. On the paip, you can get horizontal or vertical connection.

Thanks. Found out either use 3m or bacfree brand.

Under sink still looks better overall

My own setup is a doulton ceramic candle in a stainless steel housing... fix onto the tap to save space as like picture below. But unlike the picture, it is connected to another filter/dispenser.

The dispenser is placed next to the sink, as mentioned above, for convenience of filling bottles higher than the dispenser.

This set up is interesting. Where can you buy this

Can combine it with the nice looking Panasonic filter in previous picture. So that it is on top of the counter, instead of over the sink, and can place your cup/glass under the dispenser and not holding it while it is being fill.
*
Thanks. Im trying to see the setup. It seems the hose will be shown on the sink...

Is yours only showing this water filter..and hose all underneath?

Btw in above post and picture, there is a column at the sink. So the dispenser cannot be placed neatly at the back and the white rubber hose is not neatly pushed against and along the wall to the dispenser.

Using the stainless steel housing fixed to the tap, it will be behind the sink, not over the sink since the hose is not fixed to the tap head.
*
Thanks. Will skip this given the hose arrangement.

do you all know how much roughly is it for the water pipe to be modified.. something about putting kitchen cabinet, so the pipe needs to move lower etc. something about drill a bit on the tile...

the plumber is charging me rm500 to do the work...he was at my place just for 2 hours... then he will charge me again when the kitchen cabinet is being installed.
