Compare the two use patterns
A household may spread use throughout the day, while an office can concentrate it into pantry breaks. Check the model’s documented capacity, recovery where relevant and consumable requirements. Include the actual water source at each location. Product names such as purifier or filter do not, on their own, establish which treatment claims apply.
Compare home and office use as two separate operating briefs
A household and an office can require similar treatment while having different demand patterns. Office use may concentrate into short breaks; household use may be more distributed. Confirm the source at each location and compare installation space and servicing responsibilities. A product suitable for both categories still needs to be checked against the conditions at each actual site.
| Requirement | What to compare | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Home kitchen | Review intended outlet and household use | Check space and consumable access |
| Office pantry | Review peak and visitor use | Allocate maintenance responsibility |
| Both locations | Review feed and documented treatment duty | Do not assume identical suitability |
A selection mistake to avoid
A shared model name does not remove the need for separate site information. Keep the quotation scope clear for each installation.
Is undersink installation limited to domestic use?
No. SWFI’s undersink listings include home-kitchen and office-pantry applications, subject to the actual water and demand requirements.
Planning the enquiry in Sabah
Measure installation space and note available pressure, power and drainage. Identify who will manage maintenance at each site. Send SWFI the intended locations and use patterns with any available water analysis. This supports a comparison based on suitability and ongoing operation, rather than appearance or a single advertised capacity.
Information to prepare
- Separate demand profile for each location
- Water-source and installation differences
- Model claims and maintenance arrangements
Can one quotation cover two different installations?
Yes, if the requirements and scope for each site are stated separately and the proposed equipment is checked against both.
Discuss your requirement with SWFI
