blue_skies 3 Report post Posted January 6, 2010 I use a water filter system for the water in my kitchen. The system I use is a small canister with a replaceable filter (which I change every 3-6 mths once it turns brown). I have used this in both my previous home (condo) and current home (HDB) and trust me, the filter turns brown in both places!!! The reason for using the filter is to reduce the sediments, especially when you are going to drink the water direct from the tap. I usually drink water direct from my tap, but I also boil it. You may find that the kettle is cleaner when using filtered water - there is less sediment in the water and less stains in the kettle too. The system I use is this one - look only at the small plastic canister, not the big huge container http://www.equinox-products.com/FluorideMaster.htm The filter costs $10-$12 a piece to replace.

kxil 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2010 We install a simple Osim water filter,and change the cartridge every 3 mths( approx). I think it's good to install a simple water filter as the water is cleaner and I can drink straight from the tap. The filter membrane does turn brown after a while. To make the water cleaner, I plan to further purify it with charcoal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
atlantis2267 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2010 (edited) I was looking at water filtration after a relative recommended it --- but I was unable to really put down the *real benefits for this extra equipment in the context of rather 'clean' water in Pasir Ris/HDB - and that the food we eat out and soft drinks we consumed are not exactly clear or 'clean'. The fact that a filter will turn brown is expected after 3 -6 months (I breathe in enough dust particle in a week to turn it brown too!) - and I think I can live within that dirt tolerance. If it turns brown in a day or a week, I would have jump on this.... I am looking for some reasons to spend money --- err I mean have a healthier lifestyle but looking for some real compelling reasons to act e.g. does it help in preventing receding hairline Edited January 6, 2010 by atlantis2267 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
