Hi all. Anyone know other good direct drinking water filter brands that are countertop? 3M doesn't have countertop filter. Bacfree do have but it cost RM915 one-time price. Filter replacement RM200.

eSpring, good quality but is not cheap. 3M can setup as countertop but it just doesn't looks so nice only, someone previously posted a screenshot.

Bacfree @ RM915, which model you talking about?
Filter replacement for RM200 doesn't tell the whole story, you need to calculate long-term usage and how many litre/sens.

3M ap easy complete can setup as countertop? However, my budget is less than RM1000.

I am referring to Bacfree BS-3 Series Filters with ultra tech element. Filter can last up to 5000 litres or 6-12 months depends on usage. Filter is ceramic membrane type and has 0.2 micron. Chlorine reduction 97%. Lead reduction 95%. Turbidity and Chloramine reduction 99%. It seems popular during early years until year 2010 it switch focus to rain water harvesting. It doesn't innovate much in residential drinking water filter since then. So, I have doubt about this BS-3 Series Filters.

Credit goes to zheilwane but is not the 3M AP Easy Complete. He is an reseller of 3M as well.

And I can't find any info about Bacfree NSF certification.   So I have no idea about the credibility of their product.

I just called up KINETICO on their Kinetico MACH Series.

MACH 2060f (Macrolite) - RM4000

K5 - RM3500





Any feedback? They are scheduled to come later today to do quotation on installation. Expensive but I'm hoping this is worth the price?

Frankily speaking, i guess d overall price are quite high.

I ll recommend espring which is less than RM4000 and pentair which is less than RM2000.

As the Pentair that I distribute is non transparent material, reduce d risk of funga grows

C'mon bro, R u serious? Is just like around RM3200 only, where got so expensive.

U mean totall together? but key point juz like prevous discuss if it is RO system there sorry i m not recommend.

As i used to use RO water in  lab for experiment as the ro water does not contain any mineral which ll affecting my chemical reaction.

long term consuming ll lead to health problem

I said the eSpring, dude. So you using eSpring at home too?
What do you think about Alkaline Water? Share your thought.

Coway still my choice. Rental scheme only RM110/month include maintenance and change filter

My house is currently using the Amway treatment water system. I am not sure whether it is your mentioned e-spring system but it has also a combination of carbon block filter, ultraviolet light with an electronic monitoring system. No offence but their lifespan based on the monitoring system is very short.

There are only 2 peoples including me staying in the house. The water usage is very little but the lifespan of the carbon filter and ultraviolet light is about 6 months. Each time u change it will cost you a bomb especially the ultraviolet light. If I remember correctly, it is about 300++ for the replacement. 

So now I din bother to change it. I still used the filtered water but I will just boil it again.

hi naleh,

yours e-spring is 2nd version? I am using the 3rd version e-spring and the lifespan is ok..4 people including me staying in the house and the filter can sustain around 1 year.

Well, not most of us are rich as you, bro.
