Water Filter

Looking for a decent water filter here in HK as we dont trust the tap water as it tastes like sh*t.

Anyone know of any good places to buy a filter system here?

Cheers

Park and shop or Taste.

I got the screw onto your tap outlet type which worked well for me. Change the filter ever 6 months. Sure beats carrying 6 litre bottles from the shop to home on the S52.

I use a twin filter unit connected by white micro pipe.
Bought off eBay. First one was a generic single seal unit made in china, it split where the brass knuckle joins the two filter containers together.
Second purchase was for an identical looking unit, but with twin seals, and made in the good ol' US of A, and only a few more $$.
Great bit of kit, first filter is sediment, in HK I need to change it every 3-4 months, but cartridges online are cheap as chips, the second cartridge is charcoal, and this gets changed the second the taste goes 1 dot below the "Fark me, I didn't know water in HK could taste so good" glideslope. This is about every 4-6 months.
