Soiled cartridges vs New
cartridge.
(From
L to R):
Cartridge A after 6
months. The location was in an old shop house in a busy district in
Singapore.
Cartridge B after 8
months in a new residential area in the Eastern zone of Singapore.
Cartridge C is a new cartridge.
The shop
owner of Cartridge A was advised to change his cartridge more frequently
(4 monthly) or to install a
Double Undersink Water Filter.
This way, he only needs
to change the sediment filter more regularly which is more cost effective. |

What Do You Want To Filter Out?
-
Chlorine is used to disinfect water and kill bacteria, but too much can
create cancer-causing compounds called THMs (Trihalomethanes), which are
produced when chlorine reacts with organic compounds in the water.
Excess chlorine is linked to health problems like asthma, allergies,
heart disease and cholesterol, while THMs have been linked to bladder
and rectal cancer.
-
Heavy metals like mercury, zinc, copper and cadmium can enter the water
as a result of industrial waste. In excessive concentration, these
metals can cause damage to the central nervous system.
