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.

Report back on the 3M outdoor (AP-902) and indoor (AP Easy Complete) after one week of usage.

Before installing the water filters, my drinking water (after boiling) will have a funny smell after a couple of days.

After installing, the water seems like no more smell even after a couple of days in the water container. Not very scientific, but taste/smell test. haha.

If you have to boil, why not get a water filter that has NSF Standard 55 UV light sterilization? So much more convenience.

As for the water taste. It means the water no longer have Chlorine. Since it no longer have Chlorine, water should not be left unused for too long because without Chlorine as anti-bacteria agent, bacteria and virus can grow in it.

how much you paid for the outdoor unit?

how much is the outdoor unit and wat is the cost to replace the filter when it reach the limit?

Between NESH QOOZO and 3M AP-DWS1000 (dual-stage system), which one is better for our daily consume?

Beside, do I still need to boil water if im using the 3M AP-DWS1000?

Chlorine will give bad smell only after a couple of days? I don't think so.

Outdoor unit got it for RM900. Filter change is RRP RM399.

AP Easy Complete RM650. Filter change RRP RM180.

Has anyone heard of hydro1? What do you think of hydro1? www.hydro1.com.my

Seloka Sukma is currently offering a package of Hydro one outdoor filter, Hydro One Pressure Booster Pump and Solarwave Pipe Heating System.

So the complete set cost you RM1299 (outdoor unit) and RM830 (indoor unit)? Are these prices inclusive of installation?

Most of Solar Wave dealers have package for Solar + pump + filter as all these three items are from one company.

I would say Solar Power + Grundfos water pump + sand filter would give u less trouble and longer life span. If you wan to know why, just come to our showroom in kepong

Between undersink Bacfree BS-5 and 3M AP Easy Complete, which one has better water taste ( I mean, not scientifically) ?

If my incoming pipe from outside and the pipe to my house are concealed inside my fencing wall, how can I install outdoor water filter...

I am headache now....pls give advices...

No, it's RM900 + RM650 = RM1550 including installation.

The RM399 and RM180 are for the replacement filters as and when you need to replace them. Maybe in a year or so.

I considered Bacfree, but they told me it cost RM4000++ for their outdoor filter. Compared to 3M with NSF certification, Bacfree apa certification pun tak da. I also like the idea of just swapping out the filter for RM399 every year. I imagine there can be stuff growing in the sand filter after a while, even with back wash, sure cannot get everything out.

As for the cost, maybe 8 years or so before the cost of the 3M outdoor unit will equal the Bacfree unit. If I know of anyone going to the US with luggage space, can just order online from the US to bring back. I think the replacement filters are a lot cheaper over there.

Yes, no point getting anything that doesn't have the proper certification plus cost a lot more.

As for filter, the main problem is, how do you know 750 gallons has passed through it and it's now time for replacement? That's why I think some sort of water measuring device/sensor is important and that's what I like about eSpring and the one from Philips.

wat is the difference between 3m and the traditional sand filter for external filtration?
looks like the cost of maintenance for the 3M is high where you might need to replace the filter every year at rm399 where the sand replacement might be rm250 and only need replacement every 3 years or more.

and for the indoor filter, RM650 sounds reasonable compared to others but the rm180 for catridge replacement every 6 months might be costly.

im not saying anything bad bout 3M and i quite like it but i juz want to know the money worth spent.

please advise as Im looking for a reasonbable water filtration system

kamion, thanks for confirming.

Would you mind to let me know where you got the filter from?
