We bought a new water filter 2 weeks ago after I caught our maid putting un-boiled filtered tap water into our kettle used to store drinking water. One of the reasons that could have contributed to the E Coli bacteria entering Baby C’s body system, causing her frequent UTIs is through drinking water. E Coli bacteria is also found in water and is water-borne too. We currently have a huge water filter outside our house and another small Panasonic water filter in the kitchen. These water filters have no bacteria-reduction function.
With this Panasonic water filter, the filtered water can be drunk directly from the filter without the need to boil the water. However, we are still boiling the water to be doubly safe. This water filter can supposedly remove 99.9% bacteria from the water.
Here are some of the functions of the water filter :
Produces Alkaline Water
Produces Acidic Water (for face washing)
Hollow Fibres filter
Powdered Activated Carbon
Granular Activated Carbon
Bacteria reduction rate 99.99%
Purified water flow 2.0 liters/min
Shower / Stream selector lever
Cartridge Life Indicator
Made In Japan
With this expensive water filter, which cost over RM2k, I hope it can help prevent another bout of UTI attack on my poor baby.
Some of our friends recommended Diamond and Elken water filter but these brands are even more expensive.
Do you have a water filter at home?
Do you find that after installing an expensive water filter that is supposedly health-enhancing, your health has indeed been enhanced?
Do you and your kids fall sick lesser after the installation of an expensive water filter?
I would love to hear your comments.
Shireen~ i use the Amway one and its good. So convenient too. They improvised their methology and are at their 3rd generation already.. i am still using the 2nd which was in the market since 2003 if am not wrong. Well, you have already invested.
we are using “Nesh” so far we find it quite good, and their service good too, i’m not sure how much it cost.
For me, not really install it for health-enhancing, but for the water from the tap, i don’t feel safe to drink it. Although we already had one big water filter outside the house. For drinking water we will use “Nesh”.
