I was concerned about drilling through the quartz top too. My ID assured me the table top is strong enough to withstand. He also had a water purifier installed.
In the end the guy drilled through the cupboard at the side. The water tastes a bit salty though. Trying to get used to it. Upload the pic when I go over tomorrow. It takes up very little space.

I’m also seriously considering which brands to get. My neighbour just installed an AoX which has booths all over Singapore. Not cheap — almost $3k. And recently there’s this equally pricey brand called Hydroflux. I contacted them and asked them what’s the difference between their product versus AoX. They claim they can filter smaller substances than AoX. Anyone has tried either brand before ?

Reviving this thread, read about Slnkhoo’s sharing in Osim filter which can be fitted into the tap, janet’s Sharing on filtered and purified water, etc.
The key is if the filters really do their job or just ‘merely a piece of cloth over the tap to sieve minute particles’
I am unsure on the health benefits of alkaline water too.

Personally am not quite convinced of benefits of alkaline water. Have tried various types of filtered water devices, to-date I find the Berkey system most effective, both cost wise (purchase price & maintenance cost) and easy usage. Other than it having to occupy a space on the counter top, I find it serves its purpose very well. Google for online reviews etc. In Singapore can view it at: http://waterforlife.sg/shop/main-filtration-systems/

Any medical professionals here to share that alkaline water is beneficial to our health?

Honestly i feel water filters are stupid.Our ancestors 10000 years ago drank water straight from the river probably and didn't go extinct.Alkaline water is also stupid as our body will balance the ph of our blood.Coffee is slightly acidic and lemon juice is acidic-don't tell me u died drinking those. :laugh:

However if you still want water filters, ideal water is TDS 0, ph 7 , no bacteria. This can be achieved with water filters with reverse osmosis system plus UV light disinfection.Activated charcoal also helps to remove any heavy metals but I think PUB has done a good enough job?Get a TDS and ph meter to test your filtered water.(can buy from carousell)
In case you didnt know, RO water is not really good either.It leaches minerals from our bloodstream due to the difference in water potential of the water and blood.
