& u will be as healthy as using any branded expensive filters.

I have found out Amway Espring is way over priced in Malaysia.

I cost USD 435.00 (RM 1,305.00) on Amazon

OK OK is understand Air freight, tax bla bla... MLM profits.

But come on lah ! they charge RM 4K here, isn't that rediculous.

A friend of my (Amway Troopers) will talk about how great this divine water filter, every time we meet without fail.

Yes i agree it may be quite good but not worth the price.

It's a RO water filter. That is all it is. The whole ad is like whoa magic water.

If you tell me that the filter can give me clean water, I'll listen to you explaining why and how clean it is.
If you tell me that the filter can give me energized, oxygenated, bla bla bla, magic, divine, holy, <insert science term> water, then I know you are bullshitting me.

like diamond? saw a youtube video about reseach on Diamond

lol bro Jolo, the unit u found on amazon is a different model. Espring in US has couple of different models, in malaysia (and most other countries) only 1 model sold.

if wanna compare every electrical item priced in Msia with the ones on Amazon/ebay... i would say almost EVERYTHING is more exp here la~

also, FYI RM4k is retail price...it can go down as low as RM2700+ with trade in facilities and up to 18mth interest free installment.

for that kinda price + certifications + B&W reports, easily beats any other competitor in the Malaysia market.ofcos cannot compare pricing with other countries. why pay RM1.5k-2k to get something of middle class quality(most likely no proper certs or nonsense claims) .


u can verify my statement with your Amway friend

My current Amway first generation water filter with UV out live the outdoor sand filter.

Not that it never break down, but spare parts was available. When we want to find spare parts for the sand filter the company stop making and no more stock. Ask us change another model @#$%#$^#$%

How about Bacfree kitchen water filter?

Have this for years and used to run the water from Bacfree onto a distiller but I discontinued the distiller simply because the RM200 a month electricity was getting too much. Plus the water quality was minimally improved. Did my homework and concluded that its more than good enough. Interesting enough the amount of sediment on the distiller was very low after the Bacfree.

Quality water filters need not expensive. Won't want to comment much as up to a certain point the water is more than safe for drinking. Cost? A lot cheaper than a lot of the filters discussed here.

I am thinking of getting Water Purifier from Coway.

Any reviews??

If 3M do sell directly, i'll get 3M. Actually 3M oem to alot water product company

I just purchase 3M outdoor and Indoor filter. Total RM 2099. I like the outdoor unit. Compact and nice. The Indoor is also direct drink, and NSF certification.

I like the seller, he told me the filter can match with all the filter here in Malaysia except Amway because 3M don't have UV, but Amway have. 3M have a list of water filter with NSF in Malaysia, they know what they deal with.

I have been searching for a proper good water filter systems...
Tupperware has a new "Nano Nature Water Filtration" $2599 , trade in discount $200 promo till end Sept. Anyone any experience with this product?

I prefer it because:
- Tupperware well known with lifetime warranty for plastic containers.
- its US based company
- no electricity required.

Any feedback welcomed. I will be buying in few days before promo ends.

Just realised that the replacement parts for Tupperware Nano Filter is very expansive!!
- Nano Ceram filter cartridge = $480 per year/ 5000 liters !!

My other choice is PHILIPS; about RM1,400 & replacement filter catridge cost ~RM 250/yrs @ RM125 per filter /6months/ 3000 litres.
But I dont like & dont need the UV; because I do boil before drink.

Might consider DIY ( combine with Panasonic PJ-37MRF ) as suggested by PJusa...but I not familiar with DIY...maybe PJusa kind enough to share a photo of his 'setup' + tips ?

@Tomme

if u hv UV, u actually dont have to boil the water...boiling process kills viruses, BUT in order to really kill most viruses, u have to bring the water to boil and leave it boiling for 15-20 mins...by then alot of that water may have evaporated >_<

i saw this on a news clip.


@weikee

the 3M filter has NSF?....u know what NSF standards they have? i would assume minimum also have standard 52?

I know what NSF. 3M is NSF Std 42 & NSF Std 53 tested and certified. Amway also NSF Std 42 & NSF Std 53 tested and certified, but amway have additional certification because it have UV.

Serofax, many people think boiling kill all bad things. Actually not. Also RO water not good for long term storage because it does not contain chlorine, and is best not to filter all chlorine before coming to the house water tank.

Serofax:
I have small children below 3years old drinking the water...so we prefer to boil.

Seems Panasonic PJ-37MRF does not hv any NSF or WQA certifications...cant find stated anywhere.

Just found that Member price for Tupperware Nano filter = $360 per year/ 5000 liters !
- a bit high price but claimed to effectively removes 158 contaminants!

Things with filter will need to be replace. Can't wash. Washable filter won't be able to filter small particle.
