Kitchen Appliances :
RO System/ water purifier :
- Changing the filters yourself will save you tons of money in the long run.
- The filter change schedule should be around 12 months (long lasting filter), not too short like 4-6 months.
- Filter size should be industry standard size, so you can get them anywhere. If the filters are "proprietary" sized, then you'll be stuck with the same supplier for future replacements even if they are expensive.
- A good 5-stage RO system allows all the filters to last much longer (12 months on prefilters), and the filtered water's quality is more guaranteed due to the many stages. So you'll save money and time in the long run with good quality 5-stage systems
Sink :
- Always use a heat protection pad or trivet with rubber feet for hot cookware, or leave cookware to cool on the hob first. Never put hot pans, particularly cast iron, directly in a sink. Such heat can damage any surface
- Avoid pouring boiling liquids directly into sinks without turning on the cold tap as well.
