The best part is... Penang's cleaner water is CHEAPER than Selangor's dirty muck. And Penang is still not considered "advanced" as far as Khir Toyo is concerned.

surprisingly penang's water is still cleaner

Then, those mamak places that we eat and drink at are pretty scary. The water they use... don't know filtered or not. OMG.

It depends. I've seen some use large filters. Others opt for the simple two-pass filters sold in Tesco. Yet others do not even bother.

We used to have like a double filter on our mains (the main pipe).

Man that sucks. I see things has graciously gone down hill since I was last there.

My dad (when he was visiting me up here) noted that my white shirts stayed white.

He said he stopped buying all his expensive white shirts just to have them turn light yellow after a single wash.

If wanna compare within Selangor, everyone would have to agree that Klang have the worst water quality. Not having a water filter system is suicide. take a look at the normal filter for the tape water, it is only 1-2 months since the last changing. now that u said it, our clothes never had any protection from this "mud".

And not even our drinking water is spared also.

I have a Narisia water filter, enough to put these hazardrous materials and all the other $hit away from the water from hazard levels. (pls note that I'm not into direct selling - I'm just recommending a water filter for nowaday's dirty water)

The water quality in Slim River is certainly better. Not sure why, maybe less pollutants.

Back in early 2006, remember the sticky, slimy, and stinky water? Using a PPM (parts per million) meter, the number certainly increases a few folds!

Exactly why I had to put a filter in - to keep the whites WHITE!

Even the washing machine's filter cannot handle the dirt load for each wash. I have to wash it constantly. Best part is... it can't get much cleaner when the water used to wash it is also yellowish!

Hmm.. 1-2 months? That's pretty okay.

The double-pass system I created for the kitchen chokes after just 2-3 weeks. I have to wash out the nylon filter or replace it every 2-3 weeks.

It's no joke. The water here is REALLY that dirty.
