" Water and air, the two essential fluids on which all life depends, have become global garbage cans."
Jacques Yves Cousteau
This quote..truly described the reality that we are in right now.. don't you think?
*********************************************
I bought my 8 stage hexagon - water purifier in August 2009.
but now, I'm no longer using it.
WHY??.. because it's broken already la...he...he..
My kids accidentally dropped in the sink several times, and it started leaking.
There was a comment from someone, if you do not wash the filter regularly it will leak...maybe its true. Because my brother bought the hexagon filtration system 2 also leaked, and he said he didn't drop it. I don't know.
Did any of you buy this product? Did you face the same problem?
Well, now I'm using PANASONIC TK-CS20. I bought this rather hastily, because I just got fed up at that time..
The price is around RM170 - RM180 I think. I bought it from Carrefour.

Well, it's really up to you. If you have the money you can get the better one.
I'm not into the MLM products because their filters are too pricey. But, I'm just saying..maybe one day I will bought one..I don't know. Some things just happened.
You said, you don't like these kind of stuff...but you end up liking it..or buying it in the end...you know what I mean??
