    Cleansui Water Filter

    Last but not least, I would like to recommend cleansui water filter if you are looking for a water filter.

    details can be found http://www.btbtrading.com/Cleansui/product/faucets_CSP701.html

    The one we purchased is Cleansui CSP701 - faucet type. The retail price is about $249.90 come with a filter.

    But...

    My wife managed to get a good deal from Amazon Japan - it cost only $200....with Additional 4 filters!! including shipping some more XD

    Installation is very easy as you can find them from http://www.btbtrading.com/Cleansui/about%20cleansui/Install_CLEANSUI_purifier.html.

    Unfortunately, our faucet cannot fit into any type of the accessories it come with..so we have to use the type D accessories - which we managed to buyit from singapore cleansui authorized dealer - btbtrading, their staff is very friendly and helpful.

    Ok, here is the picture:

    The filtered water really taste different from the tap water. and most importantly, it is very convenient.

    Note: I am not Cleansui Salesman haha

    At which stage of renovation did the measurement begin?

    How is the pricing like?

    Will you change your window grille? If so, the measurement will need to take place after the new window grille is up.

    If not, you can arrange the measurement 2 weeks before your moving date.

    Mine cost $940 for 4 Roller blind (Living Room, 3 bedrooms). Price will vary depends on your material / color chosen.

    How is the roller blind? Is the quality remarkable? Is it customised?

    Yes it is customized,the quality is good so far. It is from clementi Kian Seng. First I went down to their shop to choose the material and colors, then they will send PPL down to take measurement and follow by installation (roughly abt 7-10 days). U can look for uncle Sunny for help.

    hi countrystar, may i ask which store in jb you bought your basin and kitchen fixtures? :)

    Oh ya, your rain shower as well, is it from taobao? got link? :D

    Hi Lislie, my basin were bought from my hometown Kluang, not JB. But you should be able to find it from JB, can Google claytan. Quite popular in Msia.

    The rainshower is bought from GR Link in Jln Besar @ Sg, brand is beebest (MSia brand though ha)

    I must say, the carpenter works is good. We were thinking to install ikea Wardrobe due to tight budget but in the end we choose to use customized wardrobe from our contractor. The money is worth to spend, very solid, very good.

    and we promised to him.. if he does swee swee for our renovation, we will help him promote @ renotalk~ haha!

    zoom in my Rainshower:

    gallery_58306_571_86504.jpg

    It is beebest rainshower. Hmm.. tested, sadly, the water pressure is not what i am expected....

    Think twice for people who considering instant heater rainshower.

  21. Posted

    I bought most of my Lighting and Bathroom accessories from A & S Lighting from Trade Hub 21. Their price was reasonable for the items I bought. Their service was very good and the boss that attended to me was never pushy and guided me along for all the items well. For all those who like to use the Rain shower system, please take note that you require the storage heater type (tank). However i just came to find out that there is a new type now where they use a Instant heater for the rain shower. I bought it. It is called Beebest. I will post further updates in the future after using it whether is it good ( pressure...etc.)

    I also just bought the beebest rainshower instant heater! Will install it abt end of the month, looking forward to your update... although no u-turn if it don't work well. haha
