A few mornings ago, I saw drops of gooey gunk on our kitchen top (under the water filter). I thought a 'rat' stole honey or chocolates when everyone was in lalaland! When I checked the base of the water filter, it was leaking stinky gooey gunk!
Hubs sent the water filter to the electrical shop where he bought the water filter from to have it fixed. He was told that a spare part is faulty and it costs RM500 to fix it!
I have always find that this water purifier is high maintenance. We never had problems when we used a regular Panasonic water purifier that costs only a few hundred Ringgit each. Of course, the regular Panasonic water purifier has no such functions as turning water into alkaline water or acidic water and all that jazz (or bull shit?). The cartridge is also way cheaper than its high maintenance sibling. I find that using this alkaline water purifier is like driving a Porsche vs. driving a Kancil, which is low maintenance with low cost of spare parts.
Question : would you spend RM500 to fix the high maintenance alkaline water purifier? Or would you buy a brand new water purifier (regular filter or fancy one)?
Hubs paid RM500 to have our 'Porsche water purifier' fixed.
Come on, tell me what you would do!

Looks like some sort of motor oil leaking out. My old blender used to do that and we still used it until we got the magic bullet. I am too cheap to go high end with most appliances! I just use a low end Brita filter for the hard water around here. Most of the time I just drink from the tap! I use the filtered water for tea and coffee.
Hey Chris, we got that high end water filter at the height of Cass' problem when she was still a baby. We were hoping that a better water filter and alkaline water would benefit her and thus help alleviate the monthly UTI attacks. Now there are articles condemning alkaline water. There are so many types of fancy water filters that promise so many health benefits but really, are they really good? If this water filter konks out again, that's it, we will be back to our regular no-frills Panasonic one, ha!
Hi...
My pj-36 purifier is leaking out the same thing too and much much more than what u shown in the picture. Since u mentioned that it's a broken part in the purifier, can I know what part is it?
Hi James
I dont know what part that is. But my hubby brought it back to the shop that he bought the water filter from to have that part changed. We're still using that water filter and this year will be the 12th year we're using it!
All the best to yours too. :)
DO you still using the alkaline water filter? how did you solve it?
Hi Tattt, yes we're still using this water filter after getting it fixed. We sent it back to the shop that we purchased it from. This is the 12th year we're using the filter.
I have this PJ36 unit about 10 years ago. The gum leaking problems occurred few yeras ago ( 3 to 4 ), and we got fixed in pansanoic service centre. Now it leaks again?? Think of upgrade to TK AS45 model ?
I took it out some melted base of a transformer SEC in symbol PT002 then SEC-NO118 No luck finding a spare part online
Anyway i went to the service center. There is no more spare part to repair it now. The people there mention the leak is normal and you just have to wait the leaking to drain finish. The only use it normally later.
