The alkaline will eventually got flushed out, i wont b like that all the time. Once all the alkaline has been flushed out, it wont b silky anymore. Btw, it is also to safe to drink alkaline water.

Is the Magic Water Filter good? I heard there are 2 brands - Magic and Kang Guan. Magic is suppose to be reconditioned Water Filter (from rental) while Kang Guan is new. Has anyone use them before? How was it?

To choose a right Water Treatment System should look for the NSF certified claims/documentation on their product... Have u ask them for the documentation?

Plenty of so-called overseas brand are actually just locally made and assembled and they just slap on a sticker saying its made somewhere else (Korea, Europe, US, etc). When in truth, perhaps only 1% of the parts are imported.

Ya lor, and everyone claims they are the best, so which one to choose I also don't know...still reading this thread and thinking...

Coway in korea already bankrupt.

So how about m'sia? Any agent from coway can help to clarify on the product in future or after sales service?

Got the link to say COway bankrupt?

Btw, not all filters with NSF are good. YOu will need to check which NSF standards that they meet. Some filters have NSF but for material only and not the water quality

Just google coway korea bankrupt..alot of links

I think this should be the latest November news:
http://blogs.wsj.com/deals/2012/11/08/sout...o-mbk-partners/
So in the future might have some changes in Coway management.

As reference, we as consumers always can check for NSF report on the internet:
http://www.nsf.org/Certified/DWTU/
So sometime we might just find their product only component certified or sometime you can't even find their product name because they are OEM.

So is it adviseable to purchase coway product now?

Well, if u asked me, since money is in our pocket, think twice and pick for the better right choice, be a smart consumer.

Alternative, you can search the certified water filter via www.wqa.org too,

Not coway bankrupt, its subsidiary of the woongjin group... Kukdong Construction. They wasted so much of money try to invest in this company but failed.

hmm... but it seems to be woongjin group sold his coway water filter business share to MBK something right?

Few weeks ago, I change all the PVC ball valves to conventional Brass. The PVC ball valves will leak after sometime exposed to sun light. Mine was leaking very badly after close to 1 year of usages. It come from the free installation.

When you get free installation, ask the plumber to use brass, pay him some $$$ to change maybe RM 100+-. Brass / stainless steal is much reliable and more expensive. One brass valve / tap is about RM 25- 30. Need 3. The PVC ball valve only RM 5 - 7, and h/w shop owner told me pvc ball valve is not design for high pressure + sun exposure.

I'm wondering if I install 3m outdoor filter in my condo (central water tank on top of the building) do I need to install water heater that with pump? I hate using pump heater. I'm staying at 8th flr, water tank at 16th flr

U should have strong pressure unless it is an old condo. 3M outdoor filter has the best flow rate compared to other products

Wow, the 3M filter is pretty small sized.

hi all

ive been using my amway espring for almost a year now..do i need to change the filter cartridge?
im getting different opinions bout it..
1. some say (and according to the manual) - we need to change 5k litres or 1 year which ever comes first.
2. others say, change when you hear the BEEP and when it shows "replace cartridge"

jus wondering which is right n wrong, as u know, its RM500 per cartridge, i know, we are talking bout water, an important source of our lives but since i dont really use it as im away from home most of the time..tat means i diffinitely use less than 5k litres so far.

so, does the beep sound and warning "replace cartridge" is triggered by TIME (i.e., every year on the same date?) OR
is it triggered after we use 5k litres....?

hope u can help me !!! thanks!

Hi Freddie,

The lifespan of the eSpring cartridge lasts up to 5,000 litres or 1yrs, whichever comes first. To maintain the performance claimed and documented by Amway, the cartridge must be changed every year regardless of the amount of water treated.

Example:


Conclusion: If you see "Replace Cartridge", call your Amway distributor and tell him/her.
Advice: if you do not often at home using it, like always been outstation/oversea or something, always remember once you come back, please let your eSpring water filter out for few minutes before you started want to drink/use it.
