Yes, I heard someone said Ace selling IC-EZ-1 below RM100. BUT, which Ace?? Tell me then I buy at Ace only. Now I already go to Ace Dpulze, Ace Mines, and Ace Midvalley. Don't have head or catridge level 1 or level 4.

If IC-EZ-4, price is RM300. Better u take IC-EZ-1 + RC-EZ-4 price RM330. Head EZ-1 and EZ-4 same.

RC-EZ-4 is RM240.

All price is today currency.

Who else wanna combine? If not i just buy mine..

I went to Ace @ IPC, got EZ-1. EZ-4 not selling at Ace. Online can get, Amazon but buy in bulk can cheaper the shipping cost if average it out.

Hi people,

Preferably available in Penang.

Hi going to bulk? I wonder where can buy the tuibing coz it does not included.

I have bought in bulk myself but i am not selling, sorry. It is for my own consumption.

The tubing you can get from any hardware store, if not mistaken it is 4mm. Just ask for 'water filter tubing, 4mm. It is white in colour and flexible.

I have both.
Filtered Water quality : same. Because I can't tell the difference.
Installation method : same
Convenience : same
Form factor : Culligan EZ4 is heavier and twice the size of 3M, I prefer 3M compact size.
RC capacity : C-complete 750gallon Vs EZ4 500gallon, therefore 3M RC can last 50% longer than EZ4. $$$$$$ icon_idea.gif
Initial cost : Culligan EZ4 is cheaper if buy from Amazon but not available locally. 3M is about RM780 and available locally.
RC cost : Culligan EZ4 USD40 + international shipping cost + waiting + risks ( definitely exceed RM2xx when reach your home) Vs 3M C-complete under RM250 available locally + no need to keep stock.

It's pretty obvious that 3M easy complete is cheaper in maintenance in the long run.

My friend is selling it here on his lelong web-site (http://www.lelong.com.my/culligan-ic-ez-4-water-filter-nsf-42-53-certified-blueoceanmkt-I1561966-2007-01-Sale-I.htm)

His price for one full set is RM 399.00. Yes, you can get it much cheaper on Amazon.com and he probably got it from Amazon.com, so he absorbed all the risks and charges for a higher price (that''s just business). I am not sure if 3M can lasts x2 if compared to Culligan EZ-4 but Culligan EZ-4 is almost half price of 3M. My friend is selling the replacement filter cartridge for RM 299.00, if compared to 3M this is about RM 49.00 more expensive and the capacity is 500gal compared to 3M 750 gallon capacity. But you must understand that Culligan EZ-4 is certified to be NSF 42 and NSF 53 and for myself this alone justifies the higher price. Maybe for other people price is more important but if using price alone as a criteria, you might as well get a cheap China water filter. I rather not sacrifice my own health and my family health on cheaper water filter. For me, i am comfortable with Culligan EZ4 and i have recommended it to my family and friends.

Bacteria inside water after going through Culligan EZ-4 is killed by the boiling water, or is killed by the Chlorine in the water before filtration. Water after going through EZ-4 need to be boiled or go through a good UV light filter / purifier. Thank you.

NSF is not only limited for USA market.

Coway was a brand from Korea also certified by NSF standards.
Kinetico is selling in France, UK but didn't bother to get certify by LGA even, currently certified by WQA using NSF standards.
Philips (Europe) also certified by WQA using NSF standards.
To get certified under NSF labs is a serious ordeal, NSF test products towards the end of their life span (aged cartridge) for effectiveness. This is why you see some brands just rather get WQA certifications using NSF standards instead of sending it to NSF labs for the actual tests.

In Philips Water filter brochure, it was documented, Certified under NSF-53, NSF-55 by an independent laboratory

Even Kinetico, with 35 years experience started to cut some corners, it was certified by NSF labs & WQA labs, now only WQA labs using NSF standards.
I strongly urge everyone to not just look at the standard numbers, but dwell deeper into the reports, what it can really filter, how long is the contaminants list. This is important, make sure VOC, THM, TTHM is in the list, TTHM is one of the major cause of breast cancer!!
Search NSF reports here: (key in brand name or manufacturer name)
http://info.nsf.org/Certified/DWTU/
Search WQA reports here:
http://www.wqa.org/Find-Products#/

Culligan water filters are also tested NSF certified. Go go Culligan !!! It does't cut corners, really affordable but unfortunately many here prefer other brands.
