Here we will cover a range of whole house water filters, explaining the features and benefits of each filter. That way, you can compare and see which product is the best fit for your home and needs. 

But before we move on towards the various water filters, it is also necessary for you to understand the necessity of a whole house water filter system and why it is more apparent in today’s world. Some of you may already have a gist or an idea for why investing in a whole house water filter is important. But for those who don’t, here’s why: 

Why is the whole house water filter system a necessity?

In Malaysia, there is still much improvement needed for eliminating pollution, and this includes water pollution. Truth be told, you can see pollutants surrounding our nation most of the time, and although it is sad, we must face reality. This is not to say that Malaysia is not stepping up towards being a green nation. Instead, it is an ongoing matter. With pollutants still being present in our waters, most people still don’t realise how harmful tap waters can be. Not only is this a health hazard, but it is also a huge factor affecting the quality of life in the country. Hence, it is wise to consider a whole house water filter system for your house. 

Should I worry if I don’t invest in one?

According to the National Sanitary Foundation (NSF), all tap waters in Malaysia are considered safe for use, according to the National Sanitary Foundation (NSF). However, many things go into your water, including bacteria, chemicals, and other harmful pathogens. Furthermore, homeowners aren’t fully aware of where the water comes from or how clean these pipelines are? To be on the safe side, it is always better to invest in either of these whole house water filters. Otherwise, it’s just a matter of time when you or your family may experience health-related issues.

Introducing both stainless steel and sand filters for your home

There are two different models you should know when it comes to the whole house water filters. One is called a Fully Stainless Steel Outdoor Water Filter, and the other is an Outdoor Whole House Master Water System Sand Filter. But what is the difference between the two body materials, or which water filter system is better? Keep reading to find out! 

Body Material: Fully Stainless Steel Filter vs. Master Water System Sand Filter 

Besides its optimum performance, both body materials are unique from one another. The material used for Fully Stainless Steel Filter is “SUS 304 Stainless Steel Grade with Food Grade Material,” while the sand filter system uses “FRP Aqua 942”. 

What do both those materials mean? 

In layman’s terms, the “SUS 304 Stainless Steel Grade” (SUS means Steel Use Stainless) is a material known for its high durability and corrosion resistance. It is also not susceptible to UV degradation. Thus, the composition of the material can last longer than that of the FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Polyester) Aqua 942.

The difference definitely comes down to how the porous structure can handle the water. The FRP material is the one that is used in the sand filter system. While it is durable, it requires specific maintenance. But it is also known for resisting a wide range of chemicals and having a low level of contaminants being added to the water. HOWEVER, the SUS 304 Stainless Steel Grade material is more absorbent and almost lasts for a lifetime; thus, it doesn’t require any specific maintenance. If you can’t decide – it’s best to opt for the stainless steel grade. Otherwise, both materials work great!
