Demand for water filters has risen rapidly in Vietnam, but some domestic businesses have counterfeited water filters taking advantage of loopholes in policies and inspection, evaluation, product registration and quality standards enforcement in Vietnam. Counterfeiting is troubling manufacturers and traders of genuine water filters as well as weakened consumer’s belief when the demand for water filters in the country is increasing.
Tan A Dai Thanh Group has gained long-term experience when competing fairly with foreign enterprises in the water filter market. The group has invested in a large scale of product development and research for years and has been able to make products are suitable for the Vietnamese market, said Director of Tan A Dai Thanh’s R&D Center Tran Anh Tuan.

“We work with many top research companies and corporation of the world in the field of water filter in order to bring the most advanced technologies to the domestic market. For example, our newest product - Tan A Dai Thanh RO water purifiers applying the advanced Aqualast filters of DOW, has a rate of water recovery up to 70% and has longer life span,” Tuan said.
In the near future, the group will cooperate with other prestigious entities in many fields to apply advanced filtering technologies for not only drinking water but also for water of other uses.
Among components of a filter, the membrane is the determinant factor of water quality. DOW brings the most cutting-edge filtering technology to its Vietnamese partners, including Tan A Dai Thanh, said Yan Zhaohui, director of Marketing, Asia-Pacific, DOW.

Meanwhile, Dr. Bui Thi An, chairperson of the Chemical Society of Hanoi, pointed out that Vietnam is home to a large variety of water purifiers, but there is an absence of a complete set of norms for this product.
Vietnam’s Ministry of Health and Science and Technology should publish a list of water purifiers for consumers to make decisions, An suggested.
