Serious Is our tap water drinkable? Do we really need to boil first?

Long long time ago our agong lky said our water can drink directly from tap. Guys, what's your habit?
 
Certainly, but after filtering and witnessing the before and after of your filtered tap water, you might not want to anymore. :wink:
 
I have been drinking tap water since my N-Ass days in the mid 80s. We don't have the luxury of time for boiling water.
We need to condition our body to tap water in order to build up our immune system.

Was it recycled shit water in those days?
 
the water might be fine but some of the pipes are decades old and filled with godknowswhat gunk.
 
Now the reservoirs are collecting all the lonkang and shit water.
If a factory drain out too dirty or chemicals laden water to the lonkang, the factory can be fined heavily or even shut down if it's repeated offence.
PUB is monitoring all factories.
 
sg tap water is very acidic at ph range of 5.2 to 5.7. measured the ph at several places 6.9 years ago. must be high levels of chloride from chlorine. boiling doesn't remove the chloride compounds. but why need to boil when bacteria is already dead from high levels of chloride compounds? it's safe to drink in the short term. long term better to drink higher ph (alkaline) water. i distill tap water (ph of 6.5 in sillycon valley) and add minerals to my daily reserve of 6.9 gallons of drinking water. the ph after distillation is 6.9, very close to the neutral level of 7. i supplement my reserve with alkaline water of ph of 8 or more every 6.9 days.

Knowing how "efficient" our government bodies and agencies are these days, I boil and filter all my drinking water.

Don't over-analyze things in life lah. When we eat prata, do we think about the guy flipping the pratas scratching his balls and digging his butt-hole?

I boil the water, let some of it cool, and put in the fridge. The rest of the hot water I use to make coffee. :coffee:

5.2-5.7? That's harsh.

May I suggest sodium fluoride instead of chloride? As far as I know, there should be no chlorides in sinkie sai cui.

Please boil water before drinking.

There are ants that always go to drink water from my boiled water container, that I now seal my boiled water container.

I conducted an experiment, putting a dish of boiled water and a dish of tap water, side by side. The ants only went for the boiled water.

Therefore, please boil water before drinking! The ants will not lie. Tap water is not the same as before.

You mean chemical toleration. Even germs die in those taps.
 
My uncle wanted to ask does samsters wash their water boiler or don't need wash ? My uncle realised his boiler inside got rust even is not verlee old. Google say can use vinegar cleaner or baking soda to boil wash.
