The Star/ Wednesday 11 June 2003

Condominium living has been dubbed the lifestyle of the digital age for the affluent and professionals with convenience, security and amenities provided in a worry free package. Unfortunately, thus far most residents and consumers living in condominiums and high-rise buildings have by and large been excluded from enjoying the recent improvement in water filtration technology and end water quality, due to rules and regulations in some condominiums that discourages individual unit from installing a Point of Entry /Whole of House system, while others are prevented from installing such system due to space constraints.

Over the years Malaysians have become more health conscious as evident from the popularity and widespread use of health supplements and health related products. However many people have neglected the most basic necessity of life - water!

Water - The Elixir of Life is essential for the normal functioning and maintenance of our internal biological processes, the regulation of our metabolism, the maintenance of a healthy immune systems and ensuring the human body stays in a healthy state of equilibrium. Unfortunately water as a universal solvent can also dissolved any substance both good and bad that it comes into contact with. After leaving the water treatment plant but before reaching the taps of the consumers, it will come into contact with many different substances such as gasses, minerals, organic and inorganic matters, micro-organisms and chemical compounds, along the extensive but ageing distribution pipe network - possibly encountering ruptured pipes along the way.

A quick survey in the Klang Valley area has revealed that our in coming water quality condition very frequently been less than ideal. The water is often yellowish, contains a lot of sediments, contaminants and sometimes even carried with it unpalatable odour and taste that is unfit for consumption. Most residents in Klang Valley have at one time or another experienced the problem of staining of their laundry, clogging of their household water appliances like water heaters, washing machines or even water filters; some may even have suffered health consequences due to drinking unclean water.

Given that households in Malaysia now have comparatively high standard of living, we naturally also expect a higher standard of drinking water. The demand for better water quality is evident from the high percentage of households that have installed a domestic kitchen-based water filtration unit. However due to the limited filtration capacity and inadequate coverage for the rest of the incoming water supply these kitchen units are proving inadequate in catering to the needs of the consumers. As a result more and more consumers are going for point of entry/whole of house water filtration system to meet their needs.
