RO water actually is the best system to provide us the real H2O and the only pure water.

water specialist, Mike R. Long also mentioned that R O water is the best system and the right way to get the pure water.

One more thing, It is correct if you said nothing mineral inside the R O water but you have to know the water you drink actually is not a part of nutrition but it is as transport to make sure all the systems in our body working well such as blood circulation..and etc.

If the mineral is the issues, I tell u...the mineral in a glass of milk contains of 100 bottles of 500ml mineral water you drink. So which one u prefer???? a glass of milk or 100 bottles of mineral water.??..think wisely..

As for me, I'm using R O base water filter at home as my daily drinking water also for cooking. As a result, i can see the rice can last till 2 days as well as my children's milk can last a bit longer.

I did research before I decided to choose this. Actually, i got water quality tester to check either your drinking water is safe to drink or not. Before this, I had tested many water filter but no need to state here what brand...

Guys, if you want to check either your drinking water is safe to be drink, i can help you to test your water.....just sms me or PM me...0197435949

Nowadays there are too many water filters to choose (i think it is only happened in Malaysia).
Many are just a marketing gimmick.

Why spend thousand of ringgit when actually water from the tap is already safe to drink?

For those who don't want to boil water or not so confident with the water quality from the tap,
below are among the best and affordable water filters in the market. They can eliminate nearly 100% of bacteria.

Panasonic water purifier PJ-37MRF selling at around RM300+.

For those who are interested with alphamax, can consider PERFECT STEEL G2 Filter. If alphamax does not require changing the media, then i guess this filter could do the same as they are actually same as alphamax using micro Z, quick sand and fine sand.

***Sand & micro Z will need to be replaced around 3 years once.

Hi Zean, this Perfect Steel G2 model, do we still need to replace the sand/packing inside the filter then? How often does it need to be replaced then?
Is this the same model I saw at your shop, that you have placed near the entrance? The link you showed, uses a stainless steel head though....
Thanks

Read this and tell me that RO water is still good for health?

==============
http://www.live-in-green.com/health_info/p...ised_water.html

http://www.who.int/water_sanitation_health...mineralized.pdf
=================

these reports are not according to ONE water specialist but many many many specialists.

do not see short term results, but seek to understand the long term effects of RO water.

as for any filter claiming to be able to filter 100% bacteria/viruses, they have to product detailed reports or certifications in black and white as proof...plus what bacteria it filters.

the numbers "100%" is just a marketing gimmick provided its justified black n white and certified by reknown parties - eg NSF, WQA.

Take Panasonic PJ-37MRF as an example. They don't claim that their water purifier can filter 100% bacteria but it is written 99.99% bacteria reduction.
The remaining of 0.001% could be untraceable/unknown bacteria.

Besides that, they don't even claim that water through the purifier is safe to drink.
For that, i think the source of the water is also important. If the source of water is poisonous, it is not safe to drink even with the best water filtration.
Do you agree with that?

If you are so concern about 100% bacteria removal, i suggest you to boil the water.

There isn't any scientific evidence to demonstrate the benefits of the energized water. Water filter most important function is to filter impurities such that it is suitable for drinking. If you follow this principle then you don't really need anything extra.

These energized water, alkaline water are mostly originated for JP and KR - two countries where fads are norm. That said, some of the "theories" seem plausible but not proven. I have just gotten the latest Panasonic TK7585 ionized water filter just to try out the difference. At least I know the Panasonic water filter does indeed is a good water filtering device I.e effective in getting rid of harmful substances at least. Ionized water is just an added feature to me

Yes. It is alkaline ionizer. You need to change the filter about yearly bit this depends on the usage. The electrodes once is gone it is gone. You can still use it for normal filtered water but it has no more ionized water

It depend on your diet. What I know if your diet mostly acidic, akaline water will help you neutralize the ph. Another way, cut slice of lime put inside your water to drink. And ionizer will refresh you. But I don't no ionizer water can refresh internally. hmm.gif But confirm ionizer can refresh you externally.

Is that cheap? They have 2 model for this alkaline water filter.

Becarefull to put under the sink. Some water filter can't handle continues pressure and will bust the casing. Specially night when water pressure is higher. I have this bad experience with anway water filter. Flood my hall and kitchen when morning wakeup. Even after put a pressure regulator to reduce the pressure.

1) I saw this panasonic alkaline machine at Best Denki subang parade... original price RM1999 now Rm1699 (i think
for 2 units only)
but i am looking at cheaper pana normal water filters... the red, white blue and the white pink colour ones...


If we compared to stainless steel water filter eg. Delcol..etc... (with doulton carbon slim filters) compared with Pana
water filter... what is the differents in terms of features, maintenance , etc ?

i think normal doulton filter cost about Rm40 + only
