Understand filtration, purification and which option is right for your home.
The short answer
People in Malaysia often use the two words for the same machine. A filter is the part that removes things from water. A purifier is the whole appliance: its filters, tanks, and usually hot and cold water. Coway calls its machines water purifiers, and "Coway water filter" usually means the same products.
What differs between models
The useful question is which filtration method a model uses, and how much water it holds.
| Model | Filtration method | From, per month |
|---|---|---|
| NEO PLUS | Reverse Osmosis | RM 59 |
| VILLAEM III | Reverse Osmosis | RM 74 |
| DAZZIE | Coway Nanotrap TM | RM 79 |
| CINNAMON | Reverse Osmosis | RM 32 |
How to choose
Start with household size and how much hot and cold water you use each day, then check the space on your counter. If you are not sure, a free demo lets you compare models before deciding.
