Just joined in this thread, according to the tittle of this thread, the answer should be, the Water Purifier + inside the replacement component, must be at least NSF 42 + NSF 53 fully certified.

QUOTE(lazyhorse @ Jul 25 2013, 09:58 AM) Very long to read all. Simple question I need filter that can remove heavy metal. Bacterial I don't mind to have it. Any suggestion? And with uv kill bacterial, the uv healthy to us? Water Purifier with NSF Standard 53 tested & certified will remove most of the contaminants which including heavy metals as well. We may don't mind to have Bacteria in our water but there are still have others micro-organisms such like Viruses or Cycts in our water too. Well, UV technology is safe to use and also need to be tested & certified by NSF Standard 55 using in Water Purifier. UV light was first used to treat water in 1919. It also well recognised as an method for treating water without the use of chemicals. It is often used by food processors, beverage companies, bottled water suppliers, pharmaceutical manufacturers and others to treat water used in their production processes.

Since body is primarily comprised of water, it makes sense that this water you consume should be as healthful as possible. It's always best if you replace acidifying soft drinks, soda pops and coffee with normal water. However, drinking alkaline water will provide many health benefits for your body that common tap water or even water in bottles cannot provide. Producing your own alkaline water at home can be one of the easiest means of improving your health.
Health Benefits of Alkaline Water It is just a wonderful choice if you have doubts with indigestion. Many individuals who have suffered for many years from digestive problems have discovered relief by changing to alkaline water. It can help to cleanse the colon, removing a lot of accumulated waste. Bowel problems can also be alleviated. It helps the body eliminate poisons, thus purifying one's body and allowing it to operate more efficiently. When the body's pH is kept slightly alkaline, it is a lot more resistant to diseases.
Research indicates that cancer cells grow faster within an acid environment, therefore keeping the body's ph at a slightly alkaline amount can help increase your effectiveness against this terrible illness. It can also help prevent premature aging, both simply by drinking the water as well as using it for cleansing purposes, since it ends in better hydration and may actually help alleviate the skin. It is also a powerful antioxidant, helping to counteract the free radicals in your body. Alkaline normal water has been successfully used by so many individuals to treat hypertension, diabetes, headaches, and a lot of other common health problems. It is also a good idea to eat if you are on a weight-loss diet, or if you are trying to maintain a healthy weight level. When the body's pH is stored at a slightly alkaline amount, weight loss and fat maintenance is easier. Lots of people think of ionized alkaline water as their own personal elixir of youth, because it can be used to relieve so many negative health issues.
How to Make Alkaline Water There are a variety of different ways to create alkaline water. If you are on a budget, you can make your water using a simple gallon jug. Add a 50 % teaspoon of baking soda to the jug after that fill with h2o. Shake well then check with a pH strip. Your water really should have a pH a higher level 8.5 in order to 9 for optimum final results. You can also use alkaline tablets or drops to be able to alkalize your own water. There's also jug filters which can be used to make out of regular water.
However, a normal water ionizing apparatus is generally easy and simple and most convenient strategy for making sure you have lots of alkaline water for having, cooking and personal washing. These devices can be put in under the sink or perhaps on the counter. Though water ionizers are not usually inexpensive, most people whom own them feel they are worth the expense in convenience and also health benefits. #1 Alkaline Water Specialist in Singapore - A brand leader in household water treatment.

QUOTE(lazyhorse @ Jul 25 2013, 12:02 PM) So currently what brand is certified for the nsf 53? So far there only few brand only in Malaysia are both NSF 42 + 53 tested & certified. My house is using eSpring which is both above standard tested & certified and an extra of NSF Standard 55 as well because Water Purifier consists of UV Light. If any other brand you currently surveying or someone trying to approach you and you not sure about it, you can search their brand/model here: http://nsf.org/Certified/DWTU/* Smart consumer will never buy a water purifier that do not have 3rd party NSF International tested & certified.This post has been edited by NightFelix: Jul 26 2013, 03:10 PM

QUOTE(DT1 @ Jul 27 2013, 10:26 AM) Because it's the filter that is the most important thing. You don't need to pay for fancy machineries and gadgets. And checkout the replacement parts and schedule for the other brands as well, I'm quite sure Aquasana will work out to be lesser. The AQ-4000 Counter Top Filter as mentioned on their website got misleading information. They claimed to be NSF 42 & NSF 53 certified with able to filter up to 1000gallons(3785liters) or 1years (which ever comes first). Arcording to NSF Database search here: http://nsf.org/Certified/DWTU/Listings.asp...yName=Aquasana&Their AQ-4000 this model only able to filter up to 450gallons(1703liters). Replacement Parts are RRP RM339 which is as low as RM0.20/litres. * price which is exclude installation fee (which mean you have to DIY to save costs)Of course, afterward we still have to use conventional method boilling to kill bacterial, viruses and cysts.

AQ-4000 Counter Top Filter1000gallons = 3785liters - Misleading Info450gallons = 1703liters - Info from NSF WebsiteRM500 for 1703liters? Seriously bro? Which is even higher than the website RRP. Which mean every single liters of water your whole families drink is as low as RM0.29/litersBetter double check the replacement filter price or else you will end up high maintenance fee every years. Do not ever trust dealer words can filter how long or many, read their reports performance claims provided by the Company & NSF International website.
