Hi sir, highly informative. So, i have several questions that needs your input: 1) if i have an indoor filter already, ie; e-spring, would it be alright if i were to use a gravel filter instead? Since per standard, gravel filters have capabilities to filter particles up to 5microns, what are the possibilities that my indoor filter will be affected by the remaining impurities? 2) Understand that malaysia's water pressure is around 60-80psig (4~5 bar), at what point does it fall to a certain pressure such that the filter will not function? how does a low pressure at P1 inlet affect the backwash capabilities of the filter? 3) Usually, from my understanding, it is best for outdoor filter to only filter out sediments while maintaining the chlorine in the water so that bacteria will not propagate in water tanks/storage. With membrane filters, the filtration of 0.01micron will remove the chlorine? 4) if my outdoor filters are fitted well.. outdoors, will it be prone to thieft in due time? i saw how easy it was to unscrew a filter manually.

[@ATKCeWarehouse]

1) Sand filters work between 20-40micron, and most indoor drinking filter will be filtering down to 0.2micron. Without an outdoor filter, the dirt/sediment will be exhausting your indoor filter. If the installed outdoor filter failed, the chances are small particles and impurities will be flowing into your indoor filter, decreasing the lifespan of your cartridge. 2) I can’t clarify this, but I have seen sand filters still working well at 2~3bar. However, if the filter beds are stucked/congested with dirt/sediment without periodically backwashing, this might cause less water output. 3) Only those outdoor water filters, with “activated carbon” are able to “reduce” the chlorine level. I found some useful information here: How to Remove Chlorine from Water? a. Reverse Osmosis water filtration systems that incorporate carbon block filters are an effective way to remove up to 98% of chlorine in water. ... b. Heating up water to a boil will speed up the chlorine removal process. 4) It is possible, as one just has to cut off the connected pipe lines and remove the sand filter. Again, it does require 2 persons to carry it. So far, this case is rarely. Please share me your thoughts, so we can learn together as well.

Tq for this informative video. 1.Recently I found my freshly machine -washed towels trapping a lot of very fine pinkish grains of what feel like sand and some bit of fibrous matter. My outdoor Waterman sand filter is almost 30 years old.😅 Is it possible that the sand might have gotten into my washing machine and got deposited on my towels? 2. What would happen if I accidentally rinsed and then only backwashed my Waterman instead of the other way round? Would greatly appreciate your reply. TQ.

[@ATKCeWarehouse]

I do suggest you change a new filter.

Great info.... went with 3M AP910R Filter

Used for 1 year now.. no regrets ... rm570 replacement cost is small price to pay for clean water. 5 Micron was the selling point for me. I have a Coway RO water machine which require less maintenance since pre filtration is done.

Hi there! Very informative video! I have a question, what if my outdoor water filter pressure gauge display a lower pressure than usual? Is that indication of anything?

[@ATKCeWarehouse]

1. if the water gauge is located at incoming (most common), there might be a drop in water pressure supply by service provider. Please observe for few days, as this is very common during service maintenance and water interruptions.

I enjoy your videos, they're very informative. In yr opinion, which is a better filtration media for an outdoor water filter? Membrane or sand? Trying to decide between the 3M model vs other sand-type filters. Would love to hear yr feedback. Thks!

[@ATKCeWarehouse]

Membrane, however, it's more costly.

[@mintan2484]

@@ATKCeWarehouse More expensive because the membrane filter needs to be changed yearly, right?

[@ATKCeWarehouse]

@@mintan2484 Most of the membrane filter, is a "one way street", which must be discarded after certain period of usage. I do found that there are washable type, but again, washing doesn't guarantee the original conditions.

[@muddyboots-mac]

nice content, seen many video installtion is from after meter. My house is 2 stories and top of hill, water preassure from the government supply to my tank is very weak and the water is not clean. I have a waterpump from my tank to boost the water into my house I want to install the filter after the waterpump from my water tank. I believe i will have cleaner water. Will the filter can stand the preassure from the waterpump to the filter.

[@ATKCeWarehouse]

you may try installing the water pump after the filter

[@muddyboots-mac]

Thanks

[@arvindprabu]

Which reduces the main supply pressure more? Sand vs Membrane? I assume sand output better pressure due to higher microns

[@ATKCeWarehouse]

Depending on the amount of dirt & sediment stuck in the filter membrane as well.

[@everyonecanfish1912]

Hi Sir. If pressure gauge on the filter showing higher readings than usual meaning that the filter is dirtier/semi clogged right? But this doesn't mean that the whole piping system is now under higher pressure is it? Just piping before the filter (after the pump) and the pressure after the filter is actually lower than it usually is?

[@ATKCeWarehouse]

Please have a check. Usually the pressure gauge is located at the outgoing or after the water filter. Meaning, this will be water pressure going directly into your house.

[@IkramMustafaKamal]

Hi Sir, could you do review on how to build whole house water filtration system for river / well water? and suggestion item needed. thanks...

[@redmondleonardtho7098]

Hi, thank you for this video. I want to ask because the store employee said it is not advisable to use fiber material tanks at the outdoor at sunny areas. It is recommended to use stainless steel tanks. Is he right? Or should I just buy fiber tank? My area only sell fibers, and stainless steel needs to be shipped. Thank you.

[@ATKCeWarehouse]

My opinion: Since these water filters are labelled outdoor, regardless of fibre or stainless steel, it should be able to withstand weathering (rain or shine).

Hi. I wanted to install cuckoos outdoor water filter but was told that their standard of at least 20psi was not met. My reading at the time was 13psi. Any recommendations on which water filter should i get so that my water pressure flowing into the house would not be “lessen”? Or it is fine that i proceed with installing cuckoo.

Hi can you give your opinion if indoor filter is still needed when you have a outdoor filter already. Thanks ~

[@ATKCeWarehouse]

Yes, you still need a indoor filter. Outdoor filter will filter down to 0.5 micron, but indoor can further down to 0.2 micron, which is drinkable.

Hi sir, which is better brand sand water fliter? Marlino or aqueous

[@ReallyOldDog]

My water filter's multiport valve has the following settings: Stop, Filter, Fast, Rinse, and Backwash. Please advise on what these settings mean. Thanks in advance.

[@ATKCeWarehouse]

Basically, Stop should mean that incoming water supply is blocked from entering the water filter. Filter means allowing incoming water supply and filtering process. Backwash, to reverse the water filtering process to flush out the dirt and sediments. Rinse, allow incoming water supply for rinsing. Use intermediately with backwash process.

[@ReallyOldDog]

@@ATKCeWarehouse Thanks. The weird thing is that the water flows at Stop setting, and stops at Filter setting. Made me wonder if the water is getting filtered. Anyway, thanks again for replying. Much appreciated.

[@ATKCeWarehouse]

@@ReallyOldDog Thank you for your feedback. My current water filter do not have the "Stop" setting. I would assume that this function will act like a stop valve.

[@ReallyOldDog]

@@ATKCeWarehouse by the way, how much reduction in water pressure is expected when using these sand filters?

[@ATKCeWarehouse]

@@ReallyOldDog To be honest, I can't confirm this. Let's say that with and without the sand filter will reduce the incoming water pressure by 5%, and over the time, the water filter will gradually decrease in efficiency (without doing periodical backwashing) in term of pressure by another 3-5% percent per month. By 12 months, we should be expecting 50% decrease in performance. Anyway, this is purely my assumption.

[@ritch90]

hi guru- if i installed 2 of this before my water tank, will the water flow coming in gets slower??

[@ATKCeWarehouse]

Yes, as more and more dirt and sediments trapped in the sand beds. I would recommend to use just one, and periodically backwash to keep the water flow optimal. Meanwhile, I am going to introduce a water pre-filter in my upcoming videos. Please stay tuned. This device definitely will solve your 2 water filter system.
