Popular Post GinBoy2 Posted March 8, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2015 Since we have had multiple discussions here on water filters, I thought I's post some pics of sediment filters before and after. Sort of self explanatory, but I think they show exactly why you need filters! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bankruatsteve Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Good illustration. Actually, that shows why YOU need filters. Some of us don't have that problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinBoy2 Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) Good illustration. Actually, that shows why YOU need filters. Some of us don't have that problem. I'm happy for you, but the point was in response to the threads about washing machine filters. Water here 'can' appear clean but when filtered you see whats actually in it. Before I installed the sediment filter my water did appear clean, but I posted this to illustrate water isn't always as clean as it may appear Edited March 8, 2015 by GinBoy2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindsay Oz Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Thanks for the info and pics. I am in Buriram and have both sediment and calcium in my bore water. I believe I need to get a salt based filtering system for the calcium which is quite costly in initial outlay (29,000) and for the salt. Hopefully that will also reduce the sediment. I believe the government water here is poor and similar to your water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackh Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Filtering sediment from your water does little to nothing producing safe water. You can make it "look" clean, but it changes nothing as to the chemicals, metals, VOC's, virus or bacteria you are ingesting. I suggest you take more important matters in hand concerning your water. Those filters in the pic are simple fiber micro filters to remove particulate matter. Wasting your $$ there I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, a particle filter is what he needed to keep that crap out of the washing machine. Hardly a waste of money if the water is that dirty. Even if one did have other filters for drinking, it would need something like this before. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree that other smaller harmful contaminants wouldn't be screened out by just a sediment filter. Also agree that filtering water should be done properly, or not at all. Some companies will test your water to determine the type(s) of filtration needed. Some are free, others re-reimburse the cost upon purchases.

(but don't rely on that 100%) virusses are much smaller and pass with no problem at all. sediment filters are most times 10 or 5 micron. to go smaller than that you shift to ceramic and even better, reverse osmosis.

KhunBENQ Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) Where did you get my pictures from ? I am soon to order another package from Duan shop. Some still don't understand: the topic starter filters the water for washing, showering etc. and NOT for drinking (same as we do). And it is worth the (relatively cheap) effort. Congrats to those who have clear water from the tap in Thailand. Fill it in a 1000 l tank (1,6 m height) and check the visibiity. Ibuprofen in the water? Sure, almost all surface water in densely populated countries contain pharmaceutical substances. Ibuprofen is likely among the top 10 I guess. As far as I remember Diclofenac is top of the pops. Maybe some antibiotics also in the hit list. Spare me from describing how they get there Edited March 8, 2015 by KhunBENQ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broeno Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 As the water quality is differend thrue whole of Thailand, has anybody good information and maybe links about good safe water purifiers. For me it is a confusing matter. Everybody who sales something is telling it is good, it is the best and it is cheap. I have my doubts about that. So if anybody knows? Thanks in advance.

I believe the government water here is poor and similar to your water. I use filters that take out the following as tested by an independent lab. Costs me about $0.01 per gallon to process. All beneficial minerals are left intact.

Go ahead and install it and then get your independant lab tests done instead of posting this Manufacturer propaganda. In fact if anywhere true in the 99.9 removal rate and as you say>>> All beneficial minerals are left intact.<<<< NOT TRUE.. Zinc and Selenium for 2 needed by the bodies specially in an aged group.
