I got my Mavello yesterday finally! Already drinking it at the lowest level PH. Hope to see improvements in health going forward.

Hi divineparadise & salormoon80,

I believe you guys will find the benefits of water ionziers in your lives.

Most importantly you should be need to drink 8 - 12 glasses of water a day.

As for my system, I am using the Jupiter Delphi due to space constraints cant seem to post the picture of my system

Oh btw, Kemp is having an exhibiton this weekend and their showroom is opened from 10 - 3pm on Sat & Sun. If I am not wrong, Kemp exhibition weekend (which happens once or twice a year) surely will have some interesting promotions, however prices will remain the same as it is their practice to do so even after so many years in business.

Cheers!

Hi all,

Currently i am also looking at Water Filter but cant make up my mind on which one to get. Im not into those big giant series, more to getting a simple system just for home usage.

Main issue is because I realised that my new house's water source doesnt seem that clean. So better to do something about it.

Offhand, I have a few in mind, and would like to seek feedback / comments on these:

Hi gkbt,

Can you recommend any plumber who are good in fixing pipings for water filters? My problem is this...

I have an old Elken biopure water filter which my parent have been using. We took over this unit and in preparation for this, I have drilled a hole at the granite sink as I was thinking of fixing an L-shape join which I thought could join to the flexible white tube to the water filter. Underneath the sink, L-shape join will connect to the water pipe which I already added a T-join to allow such connection. We asked the Elken guys to come and fix initially but they say they don't have such L-shape join and they wanted to drill a hold on our kitchen granite top which I thought is crazy. So, not I'm stuck with a hole on the granite sink and an unfixed water filter.

Hi Rootz,

Just make sure the the filter is of a 0.01M quality. Other things dont matter expecially if you are extremely concern about size.

I wouldn't go for filter alone but thats me, the concern is that you wouldn't know when there is too much bacteria buildup in that tiny filter. Some people think that removing bacteria is good, however not killing them an allow them to live makes your water that you collect loaded with their acidic waste (drinking bacteria poo). I would recommend that you change the tinny filter on the tap half the time as recommended as there is nothing ther to kill bacteria.

As for the pitcher... Its not really necessary at all.

cheers!

Hi Beluga,

Interesting that the Elken ppl do not have those parts which I seriously doubt so. It seems their after sales service is not their forte like all MLM companies. The only people I know that have similar parts are either Diamond or Kemp but I dont think they will do that kind of installation for another brand of system.

I still think drinking R.O water is not healthy for the family and you need to resupplement with minerals and vitamins as R.O or distilled water removes beneficial components from the body causing the body to be weak and prone to sickness but that just me thinking out loud.

Recently there are loads of alkaline water ionizers players entering the Singapore market and the latest is a MLM water ionizer system going for a ridiculous price of above $5k. I makes my ionizer system look extremely good bargain . But I guess that speaks volumes to the demand for such systems.

Last resort, maybe if you post the pictures here I can see what part you need and see my store room if there are spare.

Cheers

for instapure, go to their website and it's very cheap............go for the cheapest filter becoz it can use the highest model cartridge.

so you mean smaller size confirm better ?

like that, Hyflux Gurgle is king liao lah since most hi-end filters also of bigger size?

0.01m is a good size, however the removal of bacteria does not mean the rest of the chemical, heavy metal etc are removed... Thats why filters attached to the taps are the least what should be done but not what I would recommend to anyone unless there are certain constraints to work around etc rootz dislikes large filters....

I'm considerating this filter marketed by Song Cho.

Please help me to decide if this model is good. Thanks.

Based on the description of the 3 filters in the system, none of them fits the 0.01M I set as a filtration standard, the smallest should be a 0.1M carbon filter. Moreover you need to wash the ceremic filter (0.2M) which honestly is a bygone era of filtration technology.

Saw it being markets in Metro recently... not so impressive except of the stainless steel concept.

Sorry about it.

Hi gkbt,

Thanks for your reply! Haven't got a chance to take some pix of my piping stuff to show you. Will show you soon!

Hi GKBT,

Thanks for your valuable input on the water filter stuff. As you may recall, I did ask for your help on how to connect the pipings.

Below is the image to the water tap hole I opened on the sink, which is about 2 cm wide.

Below the sink, I have already prepared a water outlet for the water filter.

Ideally, I want this outlet to be joined to the above water tap hole and from this water tap hole, there is an L-juhction to join to the water filter which uses the white flexy pipings like below

what you think of instapure filters ?

i went to instapure.com and online far cheaper than in store locally...................

can buy cheapest F2 filter and use top model F7 or F8 filter cartridge..............

you mind having a look and advice me if instapure is ok ? no money to buy expensive one lah.
