Kamion, your's look neater than mine. I wish mine was installed as simple as yours, however i have the piping (bottom part, from outside meter to inside) pre-installed by my plumber during the renovation job prior to my decision of water filter. Hence, I have too wide space at the bottom piping setup with too large piping diameter. So finally end up with this zigzag piping setup from 3M installer....

Anyway, i think the 3M unit still look nicer than the bulky conventional sand filter....hehe
Morover, i can just forget about weekly backwash which i always fail to carry out when I was using D brand outdoor unit...

Hi,

How good is this 3M outdoor compare to those ultra filter like in this link
http://www.ultrapure.com.my/products_outside_ufmembrane.htm

How is the cost of maintenance of this 2 filters?

These are membrane filter, still need back wash, my parent house using one. Every 2+ years need to change membrane and chemical wash once a year, if your house usage volume is high need to change frequent. Same goes to 3m more volume you use higher the frequency to change.

Membrane you need daily back wash. 3m you don't but change fillet cartridge when water pressure is low.

Both is good, at least washing clothes it won't turn brown.

I prefer sand filter instead of membrane filter for outdoor.
membrane clog very fast if your area water is very dirty and also required daily back wash. If you have installed the auto back wash timer, then no so ma fan.

Now most come with auto timer. sand filter will not filter very clan.

Hi, just created an add for this 3m Package in LYN. BTW, i already PM u my best price

Added on June 4, 2012, 11:29 amInstallation AP902 is optional but having it would b better bcoz
1) Ur water will b cleaner and the indoor filter & other tap fittings will last longer.
2) It is much cheaper since u r goin to bundle it with the indoor filter.

so .. u drink water directly from tap?

I noticed that with my GE sand filter. If the incoming source is very dirty, such as right after water supply resumes after a water cut, the filtered water is still quite dirty. Membrane filters would not have such a problem.

How much is the replacement for the 3M outdoor filter?

Yes common problem for sand filters, and put to much sand you lower the pressure and back cleaning will take longer.

Think is about 350+-

Mine yet to replace.

do you have the address of the distributor.. looks interesting.

This is what i get from the guy :
Express Multi Marketing Sdn Bhd
T:03-80237223
The guy asked me to find Jeff who same name with me..lolx..
Common name~~

ok thanks..

Thinking about getting Panasonic PJ-37MRF or Coway P-07IU since both are within my budget. My concern are only bout cartridge replacement which is pana is around RM150++ and know nothing about Coway P-07IU cartridge replacement price. Anyone?

er....ok i will try to take some picture for u tonight. I buy off 1 time. in and out total rm5100. if just the apolo for outdoor should be 2k-3k. I can't rmb. the reason I choose this is because my company are using their product, im quite satisfy with the water result. and the outer skin is made on stainless steel. so no cracking or need additional cloth to cover it. And I like the backwash function, it is to clean up the filter, I can use the backwash water wash my car porch. But still every 6month will have a technician come to my house to clean up the filter in a more proper way.

gosh! so expensive! i was expecting it to be 2k-3k in total for both indoor and outdoor! orz......
i'm looking for outdoor and indoor water filter currently as well..
been reading different threads for the entire afternoon..
still cannot decide which 1 to get.. though coway is too expensive for me, hope to see your sharing tonight! =D

sorry for late reply.. bz with house warming thingy.
