Just like to share what i found and had bought for home water filter system. after doing some intensive research over 2 weeks. i decide for APEC 5 stage reverse osmosis under sink water filter. i was torn between using expresswater or APEC. But from reviews both in amazon and outside, it seemed APEC is the preferred model. but expresswater comes cheaper and with extra water filter ! I have left the UV light option out as i think ours is considered city water that is already well treated and besides i do not want complication of getting the wiring for uv light and if anything wrong i gotta fix the uv. however, since i cannot find a company here selling, i will have to diy install. i manage to get a plumber who say he can install but regarding the kitchen top faucet, he need my kitchen contractor to install the faucet, the rest he can do. so YES! i bought from amazon and ship via my package forwarder.

Pano picture of the MBR to give an idea of the layout for a fellow Renotalker. Please pardon the mess!

did not opt in for flooring. HDB did the cement screeding FOC. But I understand they have stopped this service from not sure when onwards. You need to check with HDB for your bto. yes it is vinyl at $5/sqf at abt $1.8k. I have actually regretted choosing this design. If given another chance, I will opt for a smooth surface vinyl so that it is easier to mop. They vinyl is from The Floor Gallery in case you are still interested.

Hey,my id's tiler sourced for me. Maybe u ask yr id to help u?

Cocoon to butterfly.☺

what started me to search for a serious home water filter was a few yrs ago, i kinda itchy hands and went to buy a $2 filter for tap from daiso. after few weeks i start to realise the water filter changing colour to slight brownish from white,. i mean even for cheap simple filter like this it already collected some substance, i did not bother to find out what they are but for sure i do not want these in me. i continue to use the $2 filter as min form of filtration though, changing it every few months. additionally, i find there are harmful effects of flourine despite what ppl say about tooth decay prevention etc thats when i realise there actually different levels to what is good clean drinkable water, i know of friends who solely buy bottled water just for drinking. i know i may get stick for this but to each his own. And i have been drinking this kinda water for my whole life, not that anything happen to me. So now got opportunity to install a good filter thats when i start searching for one.

manage to get my ID to help me install the APEC water filter. thanks to the plumber who complied and help out. Installation is quite simple but the drainage point if you are doing connection to drain pipe need be low than filter. Also if you have a ceramic sink like us, you need to be very careful to ensure the supplier help you drill a hole for the filter tap faucet as ceramic drilling can cause cracks. no prob if sink is metallic
