Much the same question from me. Does anyone know where one can buy a 3M AP904 whole-house water filter in Thailand? The AP902 is sold here but only filters particulates, and I have one installed but the chlorine in Bangkok's tap water lately had been horrendous.

 

The AP904 does that plus chlorine and scale. They look identical, but unfortunately I don't believe they are interchanegeable, and no-one at 3M Thailand can answer anything about them.

Cheers folks.

What exactly do you want to do?

You need to have the water tested before you can go any further so you can decid e what to remove.

 

Do you want to drink it?

 

Budget?

 

Room for tanks etc.

I installed a whole house water filter system and drinking water system together with a rainwater harvesting system here in issan. The maintenance is only some some bags of salt for the ion exchange resin filter. Replacement 5 micon filters are also quite cheap, but as I have a cleanable stainless steel 80 micron filter first in the system that that keeps the 5 micron filters pretty clean.

Difficult to give a price for the just filters as it was part of a whole house water system including the rainwater harvesting system.

Cannot find any more recent posts.

i have 2 mazuma 20litre filters, one carbon and one resin.

Q1. Which one should be first after supply.

Q2. May affect Q1 but should they be installed in series or parallel.

water is from a well

Agreed.

Any private well water needs to be tested by a specialized lab.

Without the knowledge of what precisely is in your water (not just hardness, ph level) there's no way to tell if the filtration system is doing its job, since it might not be designed to deal with some nastiness swimming in your particular well, e.g. high levels of fluoride, arsenic, pesticides etc

We are using Culligan WH-HD200-C and I would recommend it. Completely removed scale and limescale from my appliances and sinks. This is a great filter.

This the whole house system I provide and install. Dozens already!

Big P.O.E (point of entry filter) with "Eco Clear" recycled plate glass media.

Large size cartridge filter which filters down to 5 microns. (protects the UF)

2 x UF membrane (Ultra filtration) "automatic backwash" that filters down to point 2 microns.

Nothing organic can get through.

(This system is good for city water) 

If high chlorine I would include a carbon filter.

Very low maintenance system. P.O.E needs backwashing "Monthly, cartridge normal change 3 months & UF needs 24 hr chemical flush 3 - 4 yrs. (you can take one of whilst the other still works)
