Recently, to meet the needs for photography, meetings, and lectures, I decided to rent a studio for my Tainan team to use.
After moving in, it suddenly hit me ~ there's no water source here.
After asking the landlord, the response was that we could install one ourselves ~ but please don't drill into the countertop.
This limited our options quite a bit.
After some selection, I decided to try a plug-free, no-wastewater unit.
I chose this one (I bought it from Philips' Shopee store ~ click here to go), and my purchase price was NT$3,899.
Philips Desktop Water Purifier AUT1211/96
The main unit's color and design look pretty nice.
If I don't specify, there's a high chance it'll be mistaken for a NAS in my studio XD
The dimensions are 285*265*99 mm, so it really doesn't take up much space on the counter.
Remove the front panel to see the three filter cartridges.
Each cartridge has a handle and installation point labeled accordingly.
Usable lifespan:
-
CP Cartridge: 6-12 months (or 3,650L)
-
UF Cartridge: 12-24 months (or 7,300L)
-
CB Cartridge: 6-12 months (or 3,650L)
Philips emphasizes that these three cartridges provide four-stage filtration.
They filter multiple contaminants for excellent, long-lasting performance. The carbon block and sediment filter are combined into one, effectively reducing large particles, chlorine, volatile organic compounds, and substances that affect drinking water taste.
The next hollow fiber membrane filtration layer reduces turbidity, filtering particles as small as 0.01 microns and up to 99.9%* of bacteria.
Even with such high filtration rates, beneficial minerals in the water are retained ~ this differs from RO systems.
Replacement is simple: grip the handle and twist it out.
Installation is the same: push it in until the body slightly rotates, then twist to lock.
The main accessories are the water hose and these metal parts below.
On the right is the faucet splitter—be careful when disassembling not to lose the leak-proof gasket in the same packaging ~ it's needed for installation in the inlet of the faucet splitter.
On the left are various adapters; if your faucet can't directly mount the splitter, use these.
A special reminder: these metal parts have sharp threads ~ wear work gloves during installation to avoid cuts (yes, I got cut).
Since faucet styles vary so much, the included accessories might not fit.
In that case, head to a plumbing hardware store for the right ones ~ places like Xiao Bei hardware stores might not have what you need.
If the splitter breaks, besides plumbing stores, you can also get one at B&Q.
After installing the splitter, it looks like this.
Then connect the hose to the main unit.
The top port of the splitter connects to inlet water, the bottom to purified water
When first taken out of the package, both ports have dust caps—remember to remove them.
Once everything's done, just use it like in the image below.
Because the hose is quite stiff,
to avoid it dangling over the sink, I adjusted the splitter to this position below.
That's the report done.
Just a reminder ~ I know the promo materials say the filtered water is drinkable straight away,
but personally, I prefer boiling it once more for safety.
After all, we can't guarantee the outlet spout stays bacteria-free forever.
I'll update with usage impressions after a month of installation; if I redesign the piping, I'll include that too.
