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. smile.gif 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? smile.gif

kamion, thanks for confirming.

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

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

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

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 smile.gif

What do you mean your sink built in? Where does the water tap come out from? Surely can drill, even on tiled concrete top can drill. I got Unity Kitchen to come back to drill a hole in the already installed quartz top. They were very obliging.

Yeppp looking for one too, but may go
for pentair instead. A bit cheaper.
The authorized distributor is crystalwater
for both brands. Perhaps can get better price for
2 customers wink.gif

9" diameter, height is also about 42", similar to PGM 942. But my casing is grey like waterco.

This design is similar to Coway but it is using UF Alkaline system while Coway's 1 is RO filter. Therefore, there is no dirty water to be discharged, no wastage.



Facts from Wikipedia
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_osmosis
Household reverse osmosis units use a lot of water because they have low back pressure. As a result, they recover only 5 to 15 percent of the water entering the system. The remainder is discharged as waste water. Because waste water carries with it the rejected contaminants, methods to recover this water are not practical for household systems. Wastewater is typically connected to the house drains and will add to the load on the household septic system. An RO unit delivering 5 gallons of treated water per day may discharge 40 to 90 gallons of wastewater per day
