Dirty Tap Water   Clean filtered water

Clean Water For Good Health: The tap water is normally clear, but sometimes it may appear discolored or contain particles due to old corroded water pipes, and other contaminants. As we know that tap water from lakes or streams is polluted from various contaminants such as chemicals, animal waste, fertilizes, pesticides, micro plastics, heavy metals and rubbish. The treatment plants may have removed some contaminants, but to some limits. Drinking tap water may cause water-borne diseases due to pipe rust, harmful contaminants, chlorine, viruses, etc. It is essential for us to drink clean water. To solve this problem, use a water filter can help you to improve the quality of drinking water. There are different types of water filters and the most common water filters are Polypropylene (PP) Sediment filters, Carbon block filters (CTO), Granular Activated Carbon (GAC), UF Membrane filter, and Ceramic filters. The ceramic filter and UF membrane filter are more expensive and requires more maintenance than the carbon filter. Water filters are rated at 20 microns, 10 microns, 5 microns, 1 micron, and 0.1 micron. The smaller the pore size, the cleaner the filtered water, but is more susceptible to clogging. A micron rated in the filter means that all particles larger than that will be trapped by the filter. Technology now allows filtering membranes to remove the virus down to 0.0001 microns without a chemical or electro treatment. Choosing a water filter depending on the quality of the water. If your tap water is clean and you just want to remove chlorine, chemicals, and odor, use a single water filter such as a Panasonic water filter or a single carbon water filter is good enough. Another good choice is to use a two-stage water filter such as the Pensonic two-stage water filter. The Pensonic water filter is using a 5-micron Polypropylene filter as the first stage filter and a 5-micron carbon block filter for the second stage. You still need to boil the water before drinking as these water filters do not remove viruses/bacteria. The purpose of using a PP sediment filter as the first stage filter is to remove sediments and protect the carbon filter which is more expensive than the PP sediment filter in the two-stage or three-stage water filter system. PP filter can remove rust and sediments better than the carbon filter. In a typical three-stage water filter system, the first stage is using a PP sediment filter of 5-micron, the second stage is a 5-micron carbon block filter and the third stage can be a smaller micron filter such as a ceramic filter. Some types of 3-stage water filter system is using a PP sediment filter as the first stage and two types of carbon filters for the second and third stage filter. Polypropylene (PP) Water filter cartridges for sediment removal are rated in microns usually from 20-micron down to 1-micron and used as the first stage filter to remove sand, silt, dirt and rust particles. They are made from a variety of materials such as wound string and polypropylene. Both types work well for removing dirt, sediment and rust. The PP filter cannot remove cysts, bacteria or viruses and chemicals (chlorine). Carbon Block Filters (CTO) are from 5-micron down to 0.5-micron size and can be used as a second stage filter. A 0.5-micron carbon filter or smaller may remove some bacteria and cysts as bacteria is range in the size from 0.2 to 2 microns. There are two types of carbon filters, such as Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) and Carbon Block Filters. Although both are effective, carbon block filters generally have a higher contaminant removal ratio. Activated carbon filter can remove many volatile organic chemicals (VOC), pesticides and herbicides, as well as chlorine, benzene, trihalomethane (THM) compounds, radon, solvents, and hundreds of chemicals found in tap water. However, it cannot completely removed at dissolved contaminants such as fluoride and other heavy metals. To remove these contaminants, you need to use a reverse osmosis water filter system such as Aqua Kent 5-Stage RO Water Filtration System or more expensive  five to six stage water filters. Carbon Block filters work by compressing fine carbon powder into a solid, dense cylinder. As water flows through the tightly packed pores, it captures even the tiniest particles with impressive accuracy, delivering more thorough contaminant removal compared to GAC filters Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) These filters feature loose, randomly shaped carbon pieces that enable water to pass through rapidly, making them perfect for whole-house setups or situations where you need to handle lots of water. The irregular shape of the carbon pieces helps water move through quickly without getting stuck, so they're great if you're looking for something that can keep up with heavy water demands. The ceramic filter ranges from 0.1~0.9 micron hole diameter. Ceramic Filter can remove bacteria, silt, and suspension in water, cystobacter, pathogen, and worms. If the water is dirty, the ceramic filter can clog easily and need cleaning regularly. To overcome flow rate problems, a low micron-rating ceramic filter must have larger element pre-filter to prevent larger particles, which can clog the low micron-rating filter such as using a sediment pre-filter of 5-micron as the first stage filter and 1-micron carbon block filter as a second stage filter while the ceramic filter as the last stage filter. The disadvantage of ceramic filter is that it needs a higher water pressure than a carbon filter. When comparing a ceramic filter with a carbon filter, its flow rate is much lower. Some types of ceramic filters contain activated carbon block inserts to remove organic compounds and chlorine. Some types of water filter systems are using the ceramic filter as pre-filter, but need cleaning regularly. A Ceramic filter can be cleaned and prolonged the service life and save replacement costs.  However, it does not remove chemicals like chlorine and other chemical contaminants, so you need to combine it with a carbon block filter. It cannot eliminate viruses or bacteria. It's essential to boil the water before consuming it, particularly if it's sourced from a well or pond. To keep your ceramic water filter in great shape, softly scrub the outside surface with a clean scouring pad while holding it under cold running water. Keep going until you've removed that outer layer of sediment and any discoloration that's built up. It's best to change your filter every 6 to 12 months, or after about 2,000 liters of use. The exact timing depends on how much you use it and the quality of your local water. Ultrafiltration Membrane Filter (UF membrane filter): Hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane is using polypropylene material with special silk membrane process, the average pore size 0.01- 0.1 micron, can enrichment and separation of the particles in the water, colloid, macromolecular substances such as organic matter, intercept bacteria, the algae. Adopt advanced ultra-fine microporous membrane technology to remove suspended colloids up to 0.01 micron while keeping essential mineral intacts, eliminates up to 99.99% water borne micro-organism, bacteria and even viruses in the water. UF membrane filter cannot remove arsenic or heavy metals. In a two-stage water filter, you can use this UF membrane filter as first stage and Carbon block filter as the second stage. It is more cost effective as the UF membrane filter can be washed and used for a long time. For three-stage water filter, you can use PP water filter as the first stage, UF Membrane filter as the second stage filter and CTO Carbon filter as the third stage UF Membrane Filter: An ultrafiltration system employs tiny pores (usually ranging from 0.01 to 0.1 microns) to prevent suspended solids, bacteria, and larger molecules from entering the water. UF membranes can be constructed from different types of plastics, including PVC, PAN, PES, or PVDF. PVDF Membrane: Polyvinylidene fluoride is a premium fluoropolymer utilized in the production of ultrafiltration membranes. It is preferred over alternatives like PVC or PES when a project demands exceptional chemical and mechanical strength. Made from high-quality PVDF material, this filter provides excellent durability, strong filtration performance, and can be reused after washing, helping you save cost in the long run. Keeping your Ultrafiltration (UF) membrane filter in great shape is pretty straightforward! You'll want to do regular physical backwashing to get rid of loose particles, and then throw in some periodic chemical cleaning sessions to tackle those tougher organic or inorganic deposits that like to stick around. Ultrafiltration membranes typically last 2 to 5 years under normal operating conditions, though this varies significantly based on water quality. RO Membrane Filter vs UF Membrane Filter Both Reverse Osmosis (RO) and Ultrafiltration (UF) are water cleaning methods that use membranes. RO has very tiny pores (about 0.0001 microns) that remove salt and heavy metals from water. UF has bigger pores (0.01 to 0.1 microns) that catch bacteria, viruses, and particles while letting good minerals stay in the water. RO Membrane Replacement Filter is more expensive than UF membrane filter. Expensive 5-stage Water Filter: A popular form of water filtration is Reverse Osmosis (RO) which uses a 5-stage Reverse Osmosis purification system. Effective removal of lead and other toxic heavy metals, and removal of residual chlorine in water and chemicals, odor, bacteria, viruses, suspended solids, etc. Filter included: Stage 1 Sediment Filter Removes silt, sand, dirt and other particulate. Stage 2 GAC Improves taste removes odors chlorine and other chemicals. Stage 3 Carbon Block Removes harmful chemicals, voc’s, cloudiness and more. Stage 4 Ro Membrane Purifies and Removes up to 99% of contaminants Stage 5 Post Carbon polishes the filtered water and improves the taste When to Change your Water Filter Cartridge?  Filter cartilage replacement depends on the quality of your tap water. For example, in an area with lots of contaminants in the water, the filter won’t last long. You may need to replace the first stage PP water filter in one to two months and about six months for the carbon block filter. A typical home ceramic water filter works for about 6 months to 2 years. UF Hollow Membranes filter last longer, working for 3 to 5 years. Recommended Cheap Water Filters in Malaysia: You can find a range of brands offering two to six stage filters available in the market. Panasonic water filter TK-CS10 is using activated carbon and non-woven fabric: The non­-woven fabric provides exceptional filtration performance to remove coarse particles of dirt. The activated carbon, which has an outstanding self­-cleansing effect, absorbs harmful substances such as red rust and mold.  Use this filter with caution: A high water pressure can damage a water filter which may burst or crack due to increased water pressure. The water pressure setting to 40kPa - 350kPa (6 PSI - 50 PSI) is recommended for Panasonic water filter. Do not run hot water through this water purifier that may cause heat warping, malfunctions and the hose or housing to burst. Pensonic PP-123 water filter is a 2-stage water filter using 5-micron Polypropylene filter in the first stage which is effective in removing sediment and the other particulate matter like dirt, silt and rust and also protects the Carbon filter. The second stage is a 5-micron Carbon Filter with activated carbon to remove chlorine and/or chloramines. Watch video Pensonic Filter fast water flow - click here Pensonic PP-123 water filter is good enough to provide clean water for any household. The first stage PP filter is good at blocking sediments without a blockage. The PP filter is very cheap and need to be replaced after one to two months of use. When comparing water flow rate with Panasonic water filter, its flow rate is much higher. You can combine this filter with another single ceramic water filter to have very clean water. See Picture #2. Clean water is essential for health and necessary to sustain life. Many common health problems can be avoided if we simply drink plenty of clean water.   Clean water can also help to eliminate excess buildup of cholesterol waste from the body. A good water filter can be very expensive and not many people can afford to install one at home. I can afford to buy cheap water filter such as a Panasonic TK-CS10 water purifier. It can remove chlorine, unpleasant odor & dirt. I used this water filter for many years. The only problem with the water filter cartridge is that it needs to be changed very often if the tap water is dirty. The tap water in my area is dirty due to pipe rust and other contaminants. I installed a Panasonic Water Purifier TK-CS10. The filter cartridge cannot last long as the dirty water clogged up the filter after about a month. The cartridge cannot be washed and need a replacement. The Panasonic water filter cartridge is more expensive compared to other brands replacement filters like PENSONIC water filter - PP123. To solve the clogging problem, I combined Pensonic water filter with Panasonic water filter as shown in the picture #3. With a combination of the two water filters, the problem of clogging in the Panasonic water filter is no longer a problem. With this combination, the Panasonic water filter cartridge can last longer and save replacement cost.

Water filters are available in a single carbon filter, two-stage water filter, 3-stage water filter, 4 stage filter and the more expensive 5-stage RO water filter system. If your city water is clean, choose a single carbon filter in order to remove the chlorine and other chemicals is good enough. Another good choice is a 2-stage water filter which can effectively remove sediment and chlorine. In an area with rusty old pipe, you may want a 3-stage water filter.  For a 3-stage water filter: 1st stage a 5-micron PP filter, 2nd stage a 5-micron carbon block filter, and the 3rd stage a ceramic filter.  If the water is dirty, you can use a Carbon block filter (CTO)  for the first stage, UDF filter (GAC)  for the second stage and Ceramic for the third stage. A UDF filter cartridge is a common water treatment part that holds loose activated carbon pieces. It mainly removes chlorine, unpleasant tastes, bad smells, and organic chemicals from your water. UDF filters let water flow easily with very little pressure drop and low resistance. Carbon block filters work differently—they create more resistance and a bigger pressure drop because water has to push through their thick, dense material. A carbon block filter resists clogging better than a UDF (Granular Activated Carbon / GAC) filter when dealing with certain water flow problems like channeling. However, UDF filters work better with heavy sediment because they are less dense and don't completely block water flow. #1.

A 4-Stage Water Filter can be arranged as follow: A 4-stage water filter uses four distinct purification steps to remove dirt, chemicals, heavy metals, and microscopic impurities from your water. Stage 1 (PP Sediment Filter) - A PP filter typically denotes a polypropylene (PP) water filter cartridge that is utilized for the removal of sediment. Stage 2 (Carbon Block filter): Absorbs chlorine, chloramines, and bad odors or tastes. A carbon block filter employs compressed activated carbon to capture chemical contaminants, heavy metals, and tiny sediments from water by utilizing both mechanical straining and adsorption. Stage 3 (UF Membrane filter) -  A UF membrane filter acts as a pressure-driven barrier for water treatment, utilizing tiny hollow-fiber pores (ranging from 0.01 to 0.1 microns) to effectively block bacteria, viruses, and suspended solids, all while preserving beneficial natural minerals. Stage 4 (Activated Carbon Filter) -  A Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) water filter works by using loose carbon granules that capture and eliminate chemicals, unpleasant tastes, and odors from your drinking water. Companies produce activated carbon by sourcing it from coconut shells, wood, or coal, then subjecting it to intense heat that creates tiny pores throughout the material.
