Use Doulton candle stick ceramic filter with double housing. One clear one shikded for activated carbon filter.

The cermaic fikter can be scrub oncs the surfave gets dirty or flowrate slowed.

Visit water filter sub-forum, pretty sure there is alot of useful recommendations there

But if you want just a blatant suggestion

Here you go - One off purchase, no tie downs, straight forward as requested

I have old water dispenser that works fine but after le wife visited a relative new house suddenly wants finer things with it like digital touch & volume control

Prefer outright purchase and to buy OEM filter on my own (I'm a DIY person) rather than being lock to 7 freaking long years payment

Our body is not that weak so not fancying those 3 or 4 stage filtration gimmick

I researched many big players have gang up to only sell the high end models in monthly subscription format

youre using it?

I use 3M CTM-02 counter top.

Ya.

Search Shopee or Lazada for Doulton ceramic filter. Low cost in the long run.

Coway, LG all got buy off one. Not only subscription.

I'm using this too. But the cartridge is very expensive. Rm250 for 6 months before the water flow runs slow
