no more lo RM2,099 promotion. anyway i was at xam max to look at 3m filters. honestly..the salesman know nothing about the filters..so .. i made a wasted trip..bah..

You can't blame him when multinational Philips had a gem on their hand and they didn't know how to sell it either and the last i heard, they stop importing it into this country.

Just imagine, a filter that is practically as good as Amway eSpring but at half the price. Practically having all the same NSF certifications for water quality but even more user friendly. Any idiot who know filter will be able to sell it by the truck load if only they know how. What a pity

Most of the time, we do our own research.

Serofax,
Since you had done so many research on water filtration, would you care to share with us which water filtration you are currently using in your house for POE and POU??

Tks

Optiplex330, so means philips filter totally not available in msia dy? then how does the previous owners change their cartridges?

weikee, sometimes do the research also get wrong info one..sien-ness.

The last time I checked last year, it was super difficult to get hold of one. Call any Philips dealer and they don't know what you are talking about. Call up HQ also blur blur.

Therefore, even though it was super cheap, I reckon getting hold of replacement cartridge would be a big problem so have no choice but to get the expensive but very good Amway. At least with Amway, replacement cartridges are everywhere.

To make thing simple, just make very sure the filter you are buying are certified by NSF or WQA or UL to their Standard 53 (minimum). Having also Standard 55 is an added advantage. And just don't take the salesman word for it, go tho NSF/WQA/UL's website to check for yourself. If they don't have those certifications, just walk away no matter what they say. My 2 sen.

DO oyu know what the promotion going on now for Coway?

oway water filter is another brand you can consider. You can owned from RM50 per monthly.

Coway is No. 1 Water Filter In Korea. More than 1 out of 4 Koreans use Coway water filtration devices,
and 1 out of 10 uses Coway's air purifiers.

Please refer to http://www.cowayandhealth.com/coway-amazin...1-dont-miss-it/
for October Promo. Also stay tune with a new promo in November.

Cheers,
Amin

Is it certified by NSF or WQA and to which standard?

i was looking for the phillips uv water filter as well but too bad they are no longer available.

the tupperware nano filter was featured @ mid valley exhibition, it has nsf 42 & 53 as well. any comments?

how much ionized water with uv water filter ??is good for healthy and clean...is safe to drink !!!

Help Guys, I have a headache here.
Looking for good indoor water filter that has hot and cold water function,

something like Coway Petit - http://www.cowayandhealth.com/water-filter/petit/
but without the excess water discharge.

Having trouble with this as I need already done my kitchen tabletop and has a water piping outlet specifically for filter water (right in the middle of the of the kitchen tabletop) but without the sink for water discharge. The hob is located between this water outlet and the sink.

As you can see I post this at 6 am in the morning. Having sleepless night worrying about this.

IMO, having those 2 standards mean it's already better than many other on the market. Only thing losing out is Standard 55 (UV sterilization).

How much are they selling the Nano filter?

Personally, I don't believe in ionized water mambo jumbo.

Added on November 29, 2011, 7:14 amPersonally, I would avoid any filter that requires water discharge because it means it's using Reverse Osmosis to filter water. Do a 'google' and you will find plenty of article saying RO water (also called De-mineralized water) are bad for health. There is even a World Health Organization article saying the same thing. So why take the risk to damage your health?

Take a look at this....http://www.waterexpress.com.my/main.php?section=dispenser&page=dispenser_tabletop
The MAGIC tabletop hot and cold water dispenser is the most popular model till date. You may customise the 3/4 water filters to your needs too.

LOL, I have been hunting for POE and POU since early this year. Till date could not decide on membrane or sand media type.

Read this for RO.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purified_wate..._purified_water

Many people fail to realize what is good for the laboratory can be bad for health. Highly purified water may be good for doing experiment in laboratories because the dissolved minerals in them can influence the outcome. Human, on the other hand, needed those same mineral to promote good health. That's why I said one should avoid any filter that discharges water because it can only mean one thing: RO water.

Information is there, decision is the person paying

i think it retails @ around 2.6k, now i am considering either espring or this tupperware.

i have a friend quoted me 3k for the espring and i notice the price differs if you ask one member to another. how do they price the product? isn't the price fixed?

So how much is the tupperware replacement filters cost? And how many liters is it being certified for? Then you can work out the cost per liter and see which is cheaper.

Assuming cost per liter is the same. For 3K vs 2.6K, I will pick the eSpring just because it has UV light sterilization. Save the trouble of boiling water.

y mostly the filter provide alkaline water?our body need it so much that we need to consume it everyday?

In human body, when it becomes too acidic, it will neutralize it. When the body get too alkali, it will neutralize it also. The body mechanism will automatically make sure it stays at a certain PH. So I don't think drinking water too alkali or too acidic will do anything because the body will make sure it does go out of range anyway.
