Guys, need quick help.

I've gotten myself an eSpring water filter and I have also bought my own faucet.
Did not purchase the faucet from Amway as the color doesn't match my main water tap color.
Now I have a problem trying to get somebody to fix the eSpring filter with my own faucet. I had tried calling Amway guys to come and they said they do not know to fix other type of faucet except Amway's own eSpring faucet.

Question 1:
Anybody can recommend a good plumber who knows how to fix eSpring?

Question 2:
Is it really needed to install a pressure valve to avoid damage to the eSpring in long term?

Thanks. Appreciate prompt response.

Well, that is very true if you bring in your own faucet instead of eSpring's faucet, Amway technical guy won't be responsible to settle it. Anyway, have you contacted the distributor who sell you the eSpring to help solve your problem?  smile.gif

Question1: uhm... you need a smart plumber instead of good plumber because the tubbing from eSpring to your faucet are the most headache part. nod.gif
Question2: Why do you need to install a pressure valve? You having unstable of water pressure incoming? hmm.gif

Ps: mind to take a snap of your own faucet?

I know better than the Amway distributor sweat.gif
Do you know any smart plumber to recommend?
It was advised by the Amway technical support that there should be a pressure valve to prevent damage to the eSpring bracket in long term.
The pressure valve will act as a stopper when the filter faucet is not turned on. In other words, when you're not using the eSpring, there is no water entering the eSpring. It will be stopped by the pressure valve.

This is the filter faucet I bought.

Since is advised by the Amway technical support, I think you can install the pressure valve if your budget allow to. But of course you may choose not to.
The main problem is to settle your eSpring to your own faucet is priority. Your this faucet only allow eSpring filtered water to comes out, right?

yes, my main problem is to find a plumber who knows how to fix the eSpring with the faucet I bought.
The faucet only has output only. It's just like a normal tap.

Hi, have u found the solution for high water pressure issue?
I will also install a seperate faucet for my indoor filter, and wish to prevent it from damage by persistent exposure to high pressure in the piping. Does the pressure valve u mention exist? I was given a suggestion of using a pressure tank instead. Anyone has this experience to share?

Fixing an eSpring with a non-eSpring faucet is a problem if you are intending to do a undersink mounting.
The plumber had to customize the filter hose (white hose) as the diameter of the eSpring hose is a non-standard type.
I did not install the pressure valve as the plumber advise that the water pressure maybe too low after installing that.
So now I'm not too sure if in long term, there would be a leak at the hose or the eSpring bracket due to constant pressure to the eSpring.

So my advise is if you're attempting to install an undersink mounting for the eSpring, then buy the eSpring faucet. Otherwise, install it at the top on the main tap like usual.

So, is there any leakage from both of the parts where the white tubes are connected after 2 years of usage?

nope.. Looks fine so far.
