PS. Before someone blasts me for being naive and succumbing to cheating claims, Instapure is really certified by NSF on the NSF website itself.

These "simple" filters do not claim to be as beneficial as Diamond Energy Water anyway. (or what bamboo magnetic

Chrome on plastic looks nice but will tend to scratch and fade easily especially on wet areas where constant wiping are needed so be sure to take extra care when going for chrome plastic. Unlike other colors where the color dye is injected when moulding the plastic, chrome is just a coating on top of the plastic itself, once gone all that is left is the ugly yellowish surface.

Also make sure to go for a more common brand when choosing a water purifier where the filtration canister are readily available on the market. Try not to go for those "ulu" brand where after you expended one cartridge, you will have trouble finding a replacement cos the distributor stop bringing in that particular brand.

True, must take extra care. As long as don't use scouring pad can liao. Sponge is good, with a dab of detergent. Knocking a plate on it won't scratch, but a knife will surely scratch - so will a plastic one I guess in such circumstances.

Actually the mixer which CES gave us in our bathrooms scratches real easily. But the chrome on plastic that I purchased from Homefix (Tuscani brand) does not scratch as easily. In fact the 2 shower heads and 2 shower bars which I purchased has literally no scratches at all, not even hairline.

But the Instapure one I don't know coz just a few days old. But the chrome coating seems like the Tuscani type, good stuff. Need to see how in the future....

I checked other forums, Instapure, Hyflux F38 all few years old here already mp issue. Cleansui has really solid backing but expensive filters.
All sold in major stores like Best Denki, HomeFix, Carrefour, Tangs - not an issue and Instapure/Mitsubishi Cleansui are international brands, so I guess no lack of future distributors.

Or just buy extra filters lah....

Confirm the water at P@D got slight issue.

I use Instapure filtration for the water in my kettle, hot airpot and water pitcher. I did not boil the water in my kettle and water pitcher, hot airpot is auto boiled.

My baby newphew 4 months old visited us yesterday and drank the water from the pitcher as well as using it to make his milk. This morning lao sai liao. He has a very very sensitive stomach, only drinks boiled water at his house, his pacifier/bottle are boiled sterilised as well as 24/7 UV-C sterilised. All his stuff always double wiped with dilluted Dettol and water twice daily etc.... Even they go out they will have a bottle of hand steriliser handy so that they touch him don't pass much germs via contact.

Forgot to tell them that I don't boil my water.... Guess something still got past the filter (even though the system is NSF certified).
But I think normal people with strong stomachs no issue lah.

Bro, the filter size for the normal type will not be able to filter most bacteria and fungus. It filters only contaminants.

TAKE NOTE:-

Kindly check if you purchase InstaPure.
Got mine last week from Great World City Home Fix.
Got home to fix it up and realised that it didn't come with the Adaptor.
Went back to Home Fix and they do a One to One exchange.

Am still thinking about getting the filters for all the taps in the house. The other day just before our "informal gathering", I'm still seeing brown water coming out from the tap in the common toilet! It's brown before turning back to normal water. This time very sure it's brown, cos my lights weren't on and the water was really brown!

So hubby and myself now let the water run abit before rinsing our mouths or brushing our teeth.... Drinking water still being boiled before use, but we'll also let the water run abit before letting the water go into the kettle. Armadillo has a nice novita system in his house too.

You can return it EVEN if you have opened it up and used it for a while and found it unsuitable. Same goes for HMV etc.

I also tore open the doorbell they selling, the packaging cannot salvage coz its those need to destroy before you can open type. Found the ding dong to be a bit soft not sure if its faulty or what. They tested another unit, also like that. So returned for a wireless electronic type (better coz can hide it in the light cove).
Also returned 2 Osram micro twist, coz I wanted the mini twist.

That's why its also good to shop there for these "critical stuff" which you would not know it fits or not. Dun fit just exchange for something else. I don't think Best Denki is as nice esp if the shell is cracked - over there the salespersons some are pretty hardcore type.

Of coz for those 3M tapes, basin strainer, door stopper, door latch all can get from Tg Pagar Plaza h/w shop I get from there lah....

So its good huh. I'm done shopping for all my filters, purchased another 4 more replacement filters. So can last ~ 2 years liao, the critical period which I think I will be using water filters.
Also got 4 x HEPA-13 filters for my Sharp air-cleaner, that one damn difficult to purchase so stock up first. I cleared up all of Taka Best Denki's stock. Philips vacuum cleaner filters v easy to get as its S-bag which is a universal standard together with other brands, that one relax. But I'm trying to hunt down the special green coloured Philips HEPA-10 filter, I purchased 1 pack only (4 pcs filter, can last 3 months each) and its extremely difficult to purchase that version.

Aquarium stuff much easier to get hor......more personalised esp for the high-end stuff.

Thanks saggydog, I managed to get the last 3 packs of Philips HEPA-10 S-bag at Albert OG. So all in all with the current pack which I already have can totally last me about 5 years.

Safetycar, what is Masterbedroom Kicker?

I'd very much try to start the aquarium hobby again, do a single small but solid high-quality cichlid 3-foot tank. (not more of the sian sian Frontosa ). Maybe Malawi cichlids. Just don't know where to put. If ONLY they cut out just 0.5m of the aircon-ledge and shift to Yard then confirm SWEE LAH! Now its like they catered for a system 3 + system 3, 6 FCU.

Now can put, but a bit squeezy coz I have additional hanger device beside the washing machine. No direct sun for about 6-9 months too, so not too much worries about algae bloom or what. Hmm...lemme think.

Hi.. i got the hyflux one ($89.90) in the end cos it is cheaper than osim ($128) selling in Homefix. Also hyflux filters out microns whereas instapure does not.
