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.

Some pics:

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?

There are so many water filter brands and models to choose from. I think it will be hard to find one that everyone is happy with. Just go with whichever one you fancy. They can claim filter down to how many microns or even nanometres, shine ultraviolet light, release ions, or whatever, but at the end of the day, who can really confirm it? Hence, certification adds some credence to the claims. But still, who knows?


Bought from World Perspective in Taman SEA (No. 10 Jalan SS23/11).

Size and difference element,. 3M is much more smaller in size, and can filter much smaller items. I am using internal and external 3M

thanks kamion .

True enough. Must trust internationally certified water filter instead of water filter with overadvertisement but not internationally certified. Hm, now I am thinking of 3M, hope it's a good investment, with good taste

3m outdoor filter is membrane filter right?need to do backwash or not?or jst change filter when its stucked. No backwash seems like quite highmaintenance
