Hope that everyone understand the basic function of a water filter.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Welcome!

Used for 1 year now.. no regrets ... rm570 replacement cost is small price to pay for clean water. 5 Micron was the selling point for me. I have a Coway RO water machine which require less maintenance since pre filtration is done.

Thank you!

@@bloomingbead1716 Thanks for the sharing!

1) Sand filters work between 20-40micron, and most indoor drinking filter will be filtering down to 0.2micron. Without an outdoor filter, the dirt/sediment will be exhausting your indoor filter. If the installed outdoor filter failed, the chances are small particles and impurities will be flowing into your indoor filter, decreasing the lifespan of your cartridge. 2) I can’t clarify this, but I have seen sand filters still working well at 2~3bar. However, if the filter beds are stucked/congested with dirt/sediment without periodically backwashing, this might cause less water output. 3) Only those outdoor water filters, with “activated carbon” are able to “reduce” the chlorine level. I found some useful information here: How to Remove Chlorine from Water? a. Reverse Osmosis water filtration systems that incorporate carbon block filters are an effective way to remove up to 98% of chlorine in water. ... b. Heating up water to a boil will speed up the chlorine removal process. 4) It is possible, as one just has to cut off the connected pipe lines and remove the sand filter. Again, it does require 2 persons to carry it. So far, this case is rarely. Please share me your thoughts, so we can learn together as well.

My pleasure!

I do suggest you change a new filter.

1. if the water gauge is located at incoming (most common), there might be a drop in water pressure supply by service provider. Please observe for few days, as this is very common during service maintenance and water interruptions.

Depending on the amount of dirt & sediment stuck in the filter membrane as well.

Can let me know the difference? and the reading as well?

@@ATKCeWarehouse Inlet 33psi Outlet 35psi The water filtration system just installed last weekend. (condo at level5)

Membrane, however, it's more costly.

@@ATKCeWarehouse More expensive because the membrane filter needs to be changed yearly, right?

@@mintan2484 Most of the membrane filter, is a "one way street", which must be discarded after certain period of usage. I do found that there are washable type, but again, washing doesn't guarantee the original conditions.

Usually, the filtration media came in compact, when the water flows in, the media will auto level back itself.

@@ATKCeWarehouse thanks for reply. in my case, the tank is not really compact and not full. its ok. But, if the media/sand all mixed. Can it works.

If the "mixed up" is not too serious, I believe that the water inflow will auto level back the medias.

@@ATKCeWarehouse thank you. 5 media filter can filter out chlorine or not. Can i use the filtered water for my pet fish in the aquarium.

You may check out brands like 3M, Bacfree, Blondal, Puregen and many others. 3m: www.ewarehouse.my/index.php?route=product/search&search=3M%20water%20filter Puregen: www.ewarehouse.my/search?search=Puregen Ecowater: www.ewarehouse.my/search?search=ecowater

you may try installing the water pump after the filter

Thanks

Thanks bro for your suggestions. I have no prior experience on this, but definitely will look into it.

Go to my website at www.ewarehouse.my

Please have a check. Usually the pressure gauge is located at the outgoing or after the water filter. Meaning, this will be water pressure going directly into your house.

Backwashing will not cleanse all the trapped dirt thoroughly.

Yes, as more and more dirt and sediments trapped in the sand beds. I would recommend to use just one, and periodically backwash to keep the water flow optimal. Meanwhile, I am going to introduce a water pre-filter in my upcoming videos. Please stay tuned. This device definitely will solve your 2 water filter system.

@@ATKCeWarehouse current Brunei is having a water crisis. Due to manganese. My house have this sands filter plus a membrane filter then when it reach my home there a 3 bottles filters before coming out from the sink. Water stoll brown🥲

@@ritch90 Firstly, please lodge complaint to your authority on water quality issue. 2nd, please ensure that you have periodically replace the filter cartridge.

It depends on the quality of the river water, which mostly suppose to be "clean" and with "mineral". You may use the outdoor water filter to filter out the dirt and sediments.

In water purification, activated carbon removes impurities and contaminants through the chemical process of adsorption, which include removing chlorine.

@@ATKCeWarehouse Sir, thank you for your feedback. I'm planning to install a water storage tank too, so if chlorine is removed, wouldn't it promote the growth of algae/bacteria in the tank?

@@cedricchinable9626 I believe that there will be still a little fraction of chlorine or fluoride or any minerals (at the safest level) after the outdoor filtration.

@@ATKCeWarehouse sorry to revive an over a year comment. Does the activated carbon parts in the filtration media will deplete in its properties and finally gone?

Hi, I can't confirm this. Since bacfree is also an water filtration expert, you may refer to their terms of use/ warranty. Please let me know too.

Please email your inquiries to us.

When was the last time you do filter backwashing or replace the cartridge?

@@ATKCeWarehouse The water filter is just installed for like a week. And i haven't done anything to it yet. Any ideas is appreciated

@@scuze__ Do you have a pressure gauge installed? You can compare the difference, and identify the issue.

@@ATKCeWarehouse Yeah,it comes with the water filter

@@scuze__ How's the reading?

Basically, Stop should mean that incoming water supply is blocked from entering the water filter. Filter means allowing incoming water supply and filtering process. Backwash, to reverse the water filtering process to flush out the dirt and sediments. Rinse, allow incoming water supply for rinsing. Use intermediately with backwash process.

@@ATKCeWarehouse Thanks. The weird thing is that the water flows at Stop setting, and stops at Filter setting. Made me wonder if the water is getting filtered. Anyway, thanks again for replying. Much appreciated.

@@ReallyOldDog Thank you for your feedback. My current water filter do not have the "Stop" setting. I would assume that this function will act like a stop valve.

@@ATKCeWarehouse by the way, how much reduction in water pressure is expected when using these sand filters?

@@ReallyOldDog To be honest, I can't confirm this. Let's say that with and without the sand filter will reduce the incoming water pressure by 5%, and over the time, the water filter will gradually decrease in efficiency (without doing periodical backwashing) in term of pressure by another 3-5% percent per month. By 12 months, we should be expecting 50% decrease in performance. Anyway, this is purely my assumption.

Theoretically, membrane filter is better than sand based filter. But it also depends on the type of membrane filter.

@@ATKCeWarehouse May I know, is 3M AP902 is membrane filter type ?

@@yanchengcheok You may find more detail information here www.3m.com.my/3M/en_MY/company-my/all-3m-products/?N=5002385+3294464571&rt=rud

My opinion: Since these water filters are labelled outdoor, regardless of fibre or stainless steel, it should be able to withstand weathering (rain or shine).

You may consult Cuckoos on this. But how about installing a water pump?

Commonly available in the market is using 4-5 layers of medias. The extra medias has difference functions depending on its properties.

It is recommended to change the layers of medium every 2 years, depending on water quality.

Go for membrane filter.

@@ATKCeWarehouse But, membrane filter will reduce the water pressure. Since we have indoor filter, sand filter should be enough since its filtration is about 5-10micron.

Yes it does

There are many brands available in the market. Please go thru their product specifications, warranty and definitely pricing.

@@ATKCeWarehouse price?

@@rencoboy364 Please refer to www.ewarehouse.my

Yes, you still need a indoor filter. Outdoor filter will filter down to 0.5 micron, but indoor can further down to 0.2 micron, which is drinkable.

No, we do not advise direct drinking after outdoor water filters.

Thank you for your inquiry. Can you forward the message to our support team at support@ewarehouse.my together with pictures of your water filter. Thank you.

@@ATKCeWarehouse thank you. I already emailed over the details.

@@netnoob77 Thanks

@@ATKCeWarehouse just received reply from your customer service. Turns out your company does not provide this service.

I have no comment on cuckoo at the moment :)

It's a good options, but I am worried too about reduction of water pressure. But, you may consider installing a pre filter instead.

When doing backwashing, please allow 5-10 minues outflow while switching to rinse mode in between. Backwashing should be carried out at least once a week.

Banting, Selangor.

how to contact u bos?

@@andakmohd6220 Please email to support@ewarehouse.my and leave me a note. Thanks.

hahha....thanks though.

When you did the backwash, did you let all the brown water flow out till you reach clean water?

@@ATKCeWarehouse I did the backwash but it do not get clean after 20 mins.

@@victonxvixxxveriveryfanboy3887 rinse it again and redo the back wash.

@@ATKCeWarehouse thank you for your help, I found out from our Plumber that we have a complicated water flowing system. So we need to fix our pipes 😂

@@victonxvixxxveriveryfanboy3887 Thanks for sharing.
