Victor68 Turbocharged November 28, 2016 Share November 28, 2016 i am one that dont quite understand all these fuss over filter especially in singapore. my first question, how many of us eat out more often than at home? the reason for my question is quite obvious right? my next question is, how purified do you want your water? just H2O and nothing else and would that be good for your body? our PUB water are just fine. i am not sure in some other countries but are thry weaker than us? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramster Neutral Newbie April 13, 2017 Share April 13, 2017 Singapore PUB water is fine, but there are things like chlorine, chloramine and fluoride which PUB adds to our water. If I can afford to, I would prefer not consuming those where possible that is why I use a filter at home.Note that chloramine and fluoride are a lot more difficult to remove and most filters in Singapore does not remove them.Also always ask for lab test reports and filter life time testing to make sure the products delivers what it claims.Filter life time test is very important as filter can start dumping all the stuff it removed back into the water once it reaches its capacity. Regarding alkaline water, what is needed to be looked into is the level of dissolved hydrogen. As H2 (Not H+ or H- or OH etc) is an antioxidant that targets hydroxyl free radicals. It also has anti-inflammatory properties which helps in a range of diseases. However, most alkaline water filters do not have H2, that is why there is not much difference after drinking.

Victor68 Turbocharged July 20, 2019 Share July 20, 2019 To me, water quality in Sg sibeh tok kong. My worry is the distribution network of water. That's the only reason i had installed a simple water filter Then got to consider not to drink water outside your home liao.hawker centre, Restaurant, gym, even airport. Their water got filtered?

Kb27 Supersonic May 28, 2021 Share May 28, 2021 tap water contains chloramine, it kills bacteria. if the filter remove the chlorine and you have stagnant water after, then bacteria will multiply. so filtered water must move freely forward. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly, i think having water filter here in SG is pretty waste time. There maybe some suggestion that chlorine is not desired in pregnant women or babies. But its not strong evidence. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
