Felt a sense of satisfaction today. I’ve finally managed to install my water filter system. I bought a Diamond water filter system from M’sia and brought it in.
Water Filter Tap (the one on the right)
It was a real pain trying to get the parts needed to connect the filter to my existing piping system. The hardware shop at Punggol Plaza did not have the stuff I need and the nearest proper hardware shop is at Tampines which is quite inconvenient to get to. Took me almost 2 weeks before I finally bought the parts at the hardware shop in Loyang which is near my office.
After getting the part, I attempted to fix the pipes up. After 2 hours and all wet, I still couldn’t get the job done. Took very long because there isn’t much place to manoeuvre my hands under the sink. Worst of all, one the the part I bought (the Tee joint) was defective thus causing some leakage. Fixed everything back and had to wait till I buy the replacement part. The replacement part only came in more than a week later and I got it when I was back in M’sia over the weekend.
So today after work and 1 hour later, finally manage to get the job done.
Diamond-ed Water
So what’s the difference now that I have a water filter? I no longer have to boil my water before drinking it. Will just drink it straight from the tap. Another thing done for my house.
Wah, the water looks very clear leh…
It better be clear. Spent a long time fixing it up.
How does it taste of Diamond water? Do you feel healthier after drink this water? I am a chinese who lived in hong kong. I am just amazing that diamond water is all around…in asia lol….
Besides, i would like to introduce a blog to u…i found an interesting great blog by an italian recently, you can go to take a look and leave some comments when you have time. ^^

“This blog (web site blog) is about Roma and the ancient Romans and
Julius Caesar and the Colosseum Gladiators and Italian sweet life (dolce vita). It is about delicious opera music and delicious wine and Ferrari and Armani. More than this. It is about the philosophical roots of the West.
Italy is the most ancient and refined people of the West. This blog is about the *eternal city*, Rome, capital of Italy.
Roma has shaped the West and created the Western and European civilisation. UK, America, Europe would not exist without Roma.
Do you want to understand the West and his roots,
1) before leaving for a vacation or 2) before starting business with Italians and Europeans and the British and even USA? 3) or just to have FUN in a magic country even only thru web????
Get to the roots! Get to the roots of all this, of UK, America and Europe, you Chinese people needing to understand the West better!
Hi there… nice setup you have. Thinking of setting up the similar thing, i.e. water filter placed below basin (neat & clean). I had a water filter, bought the “T” joint, problem is how to drill another hole on my basin to fit another water pipe & how to connect the “T” joint to my filter’s pipe, which is smaller in plastic form… Can advice?
Hey eMJay! Haven’t heard from you in a while. I suppose your new home is coming along fine.
The drilling of holes in my basin was done when I bought it. I’m not sure about drilling the hole on your own though. You may need a proper holesaw that can cut up metal to do it. I only got a holesaw that can saw wood and plastic unfortunately so can’t help you there. I’m sure you can get it from your neighbourhood hardware shop.
There’s a proper connector to connect the “T” joint to the filter’s pipe which can again be found at a proper hardware shop. This part is slightly more tricky though.
Drop me a call or msn me for more info.
oh thanks for the advice. I have consulted and contractor on that too… Mine was stainless steel basin, if I use the correct holesaw, it gonna cost alot. He recommended the iron holesaw, but will wear off fast when driling stainless steel. I believe your is the iron holesaw to drill on wood & plastic?
Another question though, the water from main supply is directly connected into ur diamond box? Won’t you afraid that the constant water pressure would spoilt the box’s filters? What was the advice from your sales man?
Yeah, it’s an iron holesaw but that is not suitable for drilling steel. You will need a specialized holesaw to drill steel and for the size that you need it’ll probably cost you about 20-30 bucks.
Nay, not afraid on constant water pressure. I have another filter back home and it’s on constant pressure. Been working for 10 years so I don’t think it’s an issue.
