Bought 3M Water Filter AP DWS1000 from Xam Max lately for RM1499 during their promotion.

Installation is easy as I just have to remove my old filter (diamond used for many years) and plug in the new filter. Basically just put on the cartridge and plug in the hose.

Did not make any drill in my under-sink cabinet to hang it as I don't want any holes there. So I just put it standing like the picture below.




so far so good using it =)

hi normaron, what kind of piping(from the sink drainage-grey colour) that you're using, this is the first time I see this kind of pipe

I bought this sink from China.
China Sink

Total damage how much include forwarding?

Is it ? i did't manage to call them but another company call Crystal water enterprise , they have sell GE and support this product.

www.crystalwater.com.my , check it out

That time ship with some other furnitures, estimate for this sink is about RM500 (before ringgit depreciate like now)

Hi guys, I stumbled upon this thread while looking for water filters.

currently i am using COWAY P-07IU , a table top unit

http://coway.com/product/product_view.asp?...2&mcate=&idx=59

Since buying it I only have stable flow of water for the 1st 2 months, after that it was just dripping out.

I bring this issue to the seller since the manual stated the filter can be used for 1 year. He took out the cartridge , back wash a bit and hit on the filter cartridge , and it flows nicely for a day or two.

Since then I have to hit it every day to get stable flow of water, but recently (after 4 months of purchase) , water would only drip out despite my daily cartridge smacking effort.

I am looking for a alternative table top water filter which is safe to drink out from. Recommendation plz~~


Thanks ~

Your incoming are too dirty, fix that and replace the filter you are good to do. (I hope)

My mom old amway filter used to have this problem even using external sand filter, pressure drop after 3 months usage. We switch the external filter to membrane, and the amway filter water pressure no longer drop.

What is your ideal water filter system ?

Outdoor - Sand /Membrane
Indoor (membrane/UV/RO) ... ?

I think i will go for Outdoor - Sand with Active Carbon.
Indoor (membrane filter). At least i can drink it direct w/o electricity ..

If you have reserve water tank. Dont get active carbon for outdoor.. Sand/Semi membrane type are enough for outdoor.

Indoor get NSF 42, 53 for drinking purposes. If have NSF 55 like eSpring UV killing bacteria/viruses are perfect combo.

Amway espring is a good choice if we dont want to boiler those water , can i ask if w/o electricity will it still work at least to filter the water out for us to boil it ?

I was thinking to get the GE indoor unit(poision by you all) , worse case just boil(gas/electricity) it everyday before use.

There are number of sand filter outside in selangor area , price range from rm 300 to rm 1600(waterco), i believe all serve the same purposes. (someone told me the sand need to refill after xx year as it will become smaller and smaller, and will penetrate into our filter and go into our water tank.

I think with activate carbon is still ok , as stated it only can remove 20% chlorine only..still 80% inside water tank.

I would say, eSpring is currently golden standard of all indoor POU water purifier. Put all those technical details aside. Follow by 3M/Aquasana/Bacfree also come with minimal requirement of NSF 42+53. These are much cheaper/budget friendly. The only dam cons of the eSpring is require to plug in electricity all the time in order to monitor the filter lifespan and as well UV to work. So if electricity are down, you need to boil to kill those bacteria/viruses which can't be filter.

I would get GE filter as well if they do come with local MY support. Unless you are smart shopper or tech savvy enough on how to import from US to your house. At least they are cheap to obtain and almost same maintenance compare to 3M. Want hassle free? just get those local brand I mentioned above. All sand filter are required to changed after around between 4-6years. Pricing are vary depend on your reseller.

As for active carbon you mentioned earlier, I still won't recommend you to do so, I don't see a reason to filter the chlorine or just remove 20% of chlorine just for the sake of filtering it? Why pay for something that only working 20% and you still have to replace(maintenance) after couple years? Just get a proper sand filter (either auto backwash/manual backwash) or 3M AP902 (semi membrane) for Point-of-Entry.

I would agree my incoming is too dirty, the water can even clog my heater and washing machine water fliter ( metal web)

Would it be helpful if I a cheap filter before my current filter ?
I am living in shared house (student ), cost are shared so not commited to expansive filters.

You can put a prefilter before the water filter, it will help.
