Thinking of getting an LG hot & cold water purifier for your home?
Hold on first — don’t rush into it!
Before installing, there are a few important things you should know. Trust me, understanding these little details can save you time, money, and headaches later. Let’s break it down 👇
Two Installation Types – Which One Suits You Better?
① Above Sink Installation (No Drilling Needed)
This method is fast and simple. The technician will connect a small external water pipe from your existing tap using a 2-way adapter. That’s it!
Suitable for: People staying in rental homes Homes with fully renovated kitchens
But take note: Not all taps can fit the adapter!
For example:
- No-thread taps Designer
- pull out type faucet
- built-in faucet styles
If your tap doesn’t match, you have 2 choices:
Switch to under sink installation (with drilling)
Change your tap to one that works with the adapter
② Under Sink Installation (Need Drilling)
Want a clean and neat look? This one’s for you.
This method hides the pipe under your kitchen cabinet.
A small hole (about 16mm, size of a 20 sen coin) will be drilled on your countertop. It looks more tidy and stylish!
Best if: You’re renovating now (ask your contractor to drill during renovation) You care about kitchen aesthetics
Pros: Cleaner and neater look Easier to clean the area – no pipes showing!
These materials need professional contractor help (LG installer won’t drill):
- Tiles
- Glass
- Stainless steel
- Marble
- granite
- cement
- other natural/stone materials
💡 Tip: If your countertop is made of one of these, get a skilled contractor to drill first. Avoid damaging your beautiful kitchen top!
💦 What If Your Water Pressure Is Low? No worries!
Some homes in Malaysia don’t have strong water pressure (below 1.5 kgf/cm²).
In this case, LG technician will recommend installing their original Water Pump (RM288) to make sure water flow stays strong and smooth. 💧
⚡ Don’t Forget the Power Supply! Both the LG water purifier and the pump need electricity to run. So, make sure there’s a plug point under your sink.
Why? Wires can be hidden inside the cabinet — looks tidy, feels safe.
