Hello, I am looking to install triple water filtration system under my sink. I already have a separate tap for it.
Does anyone have experience with Shield water filter system? They are sold on Ebay and seem to be the cheapest. I am also looking at Frizzlife on amazon which is around double the price.
Thank you!
Hello, I am looking to install triple water filtration system under my sink.
Your location says Sydney
If you're investing in a reverse osmosis system, one of your filter cartridges needs to properly filter chloramine as the cheaper kits that filter just chlorine are useless
Check PSI Water Filters based in Tasmania - they are the best supplier in Australia and will be able to give you a proper recommendation after the holidays
what is the reason that I need to filter chloramine?
I am only looking for a 3 filter system. RO is a bit too complicated for me.
PSI water filters are around 3x times the price of Shield. Is there a significant difference?
Because that is the compound that creates "the chlorine" smell ;)
There is always a difference in price! If you are just doing it for taste, than the $3 jug filtrations stuff is fine!
If you are doing it for "health" reasons, then you really need a system that removes chlorine products, fluorine products, PFAS and micro plastics (all of which most RO systems will handle)!
PSI are a great mob and customise your filter system based on where you are in Aus. Much more affordable than other gimmick brands that were on the Block.
Whar do you want to achieve with the filtering?
Personallly, cant see wanting a fancy filter system but buying a cheap one work well together. You get what you pay for.
Have had this 3 filtersystem for a year (although only installed for 7 months due to new kitchen delays and have found it quite acceptable. Water is clear and tastes fine.
Technically I canonly go on what they say on its ultimate filtration ability.
I went with the push in filters system, vs the old screw off canister and place filter in and screw back on type I was replacing.
Quite happy and see no reason to be critical of it.
