i'm using Diamond Antibac, no need change filter,
just clean the ceramic filter every mth will do, after 1 yr.. get a new one.. only RM400 mah

RO is the best but expensive, we can always drink a glass of 100plus, milo, milk, etc for the minerals intake

the whole set is RM400, ceramic filter alone is about RM30 if not mistaken

some data on cheap water filters i'm planning for my hot-shower:

3/4 inch inlet filter housing (rm25 each @ carrefour)
Polypropylene sendiment filter (free w/ filter housing) 5 micron
cto carbon block filter (less than rm10) 5 micron (pensonic's is certified by NSF? -> http://www.pensonic.com/pproducts-pp.htm?c...=health%20care)


more about microns frm wikipedia:
1 micron = 1 micrometer, symbol µm, (1/1000 millimeter)

ceramic filter = 1 micron

human hair is about 100 micron wide (0.1 millimeter)
Red blood cells are 7 micron in diameter

dust mite > 250 micron
HEPA air filter = 0.3 micron
Bacterial = 0.3 to 5 micron
virus = less than 0.45 micron
Nanobacteria = less than 0.2 micron

diameter of Carbon nanotube = 0.001 micron
width of protein α helix = 0.0005 micron
smallest molecule diatomic hydrogen (H2) = 0.000074 micron
radius of hydrogen atom = 0.000025 micron
