Recently i saw some article on facebook that how harmful is heavy metals to our health and it is very difficult to expel from our body. Recalled the BRT treatment Janelle went thru in previous years, there is always heavy metals found in Janelle body. So was thinking if should we get a filter system at home since water is one of the important sources in our body. I was thinking if really that important, i don't mind to set aside one to two thousand for a good water filter for my family.
When i start researching and went wild on my reading... more and more filter system comes in.. and getting more and more expensive.
1) Diamond water - one of the brands that had been in Singapore market for many years and pop's place had used for a few years before we removed it. The product claimed it
helps break water molecule clusters into smaller clusters for easier absorption and will enhanced the metabolism, improves gastrointestinal condition, improve fruit taste, better absorption of health supplements/medication, plants will growth faster and healthier and boil easily.
It consists of 6 filters:
- Filter A: Top notch ceramic filter, thoroughly filter out impurities like chlorine, dirt, rust and bacteria.
- Filter B: activated carbon & natural mineral stones remove organic contaminants, unpleasant odours & colours in the water, while regulate mineral content.
- Filter C: metal ion filter thoroughly removes heavy metals, chlorine and other chemical contaminates.
- Filter D: natural magnetic ceramic balls with natural mineral magnetic stones effectively break water molecule clusters into the smallest possible size.
- Filter E: natural mineral stones stabilises energy in the water to keep water molecule clusters at the smallest size for a prolonged period of time.
- Filter F: calcium ions helps balance the water to a mild alkaline level.
- Price: $1680
Push factor:
- Diamond uses carbon filter but doesn't effectively remove harmful contaminants. Reports and news from Taiwan and Hong Kong claimed they have made false claims and banned them.
- Out of the six filters, only two are certified.
2) Hydroflux -
one of Singapore’s first very own brand of water purification systems. It products Alkaline Water that brings benefit our immune systems. The filters will eliminate harmful bacteria. The Carbon Filter removes many volatile organic chemicals, pesticides and herbicides as well as chlorine, benzene, trihalaomethane compounds found in tap-water. It breaksdown the water molecules too, and 50% improvement in hydraiotion and 3x more effctive detoxification process. The water system produces water with anti-oxidant properties which help to boosting our immune systems.
Hydroflux filtration system is equipped with a 4-staged filtration system:
· Sediment filter - Remove dust, clay, water rust and other solid particles.
· Ultra-filtration filter - Consist of pores size 0.01 Microns, remove bacteria, micro-organisms.
· Carbon Filter - Using activated carbon technology, removes chemical substances such as chlorine, TMH compounds, borons etc.
· Alkaline Filter -Inputs alkaline mineral salts such as Ca into our water to increase the pH of the water, turning water from acidic to alkaline which is more suitable for our consumption.
Manufactured and shipped from our factor base at Korean, Hydroflux filters are strictly tested and certified.
Price: $2,188.00 / $2688 with purewater for baby
Each Filter change cost about $250
3) 3M - this is the one where i saw xiaxue photos beside it in homefix. It claims that their carbon block technology will reduces chlorine taste and odour, slime and rust, cysts, heavy metals like lead and with hot water applications.
Price: S$1,488
This morning, i asked myself again. Do we really need a filter system in Singapore where we all know that government had did a very good job with our drinking water ensuring it is safe for us to drink.
