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.

Hey guys, what do you think of PI 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

Is that a Panasonic Alkaline Ionizer? I m planing to get 1. What thing that need to maintainence or change yearly?

I think is the filter and electrode

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

off topic.... anyone know where to find those small filters (like pensonic type) that is meant to be installed @ the pipeline.... last time it was very common.... i just wanna filter rust and big dirt.... i am not planning to get those huge types due to space constraint.... and also i have to install at multiple water source due to piping design flaw (cannot amend)

3M look nice. RM 1099

pana replacement is around 150bucks. i normally change every year. but: i have entry filter over lava rubble + double carbon filters running before hand. so onlything left is minor impurites. on a sidenote: anyone has a solution to fit the panasonic filter under the sink?

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. But confirm ionizer can refresh you externally.

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

Added on July 17, 2011, 11:59 pmBecarefull 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

Click on the link below..watch it and then decide. It's really fantastic. I had bought one.

the bio ken looks good, how much is it? And also how bout outdoor filter?

The Bio Ken got 3 series...Ken 1, Ken 2, Ken 3 also got outdoor filter....its price very reasonable as the quality is very good...Pure Water Guaranteed!!! can test if you want....I mean the 'water quality'. PM me if you really interested...

This sounds like a sales pitch to me rather than anything else

How is Hexagon alkaline water filter from Cosway? Initially view at panasonic red, but now consider Hexagon too? Member price is RM625, normal is rm1.5k..true? Any review???

I'll prefer some good reputable brand. 3M, Panasonic, AMway, GE.

So means Cosway is not reputable brand? Amway how much?
