I'm using RX-Water Filter, but when I try to buy a new cartridge, it cost :

1) Cartridge 1 and 2 (1-2 year) - Rm 298
2) Cartridge 3 (2 year) - Rm 275
3) Cartridge 4 (3 years) - Rm 4++ something

Damn expensive .. so, consider the cartridge replacement too in the future ..

Many forumers would like to know what media 3M AP902 is using and how it looks like, after some research online and info from 3M, we manage to get a used cartridge and dissected it.

Here is the info :
3M AP902 is using a special type of membrane, different than the regular UF membrane water filters. This membrane used by 3M is more durable and can withstand minimum 8 Bar of water pressure, while normal UF membrane could only withstand 3-4 bar. From the photo below, you can see that the membrane is pleated, that is why it has a much bigger surface area (more than 10 times of the size of the filter) and could trap rust & sediments upto 370,000 litres of water without backwash.
