Top 12 Households for Tap Water in Singapore

We drank and ranked household tap water by drinking from 12 different regions in Singapore.

In Singapore, we are lucky to have water that is safe to drink directly from the tap. But most of us can tell the difference about taste, how it feels in the mouth, the chlorine taste, the metal or rusty taste in our homes...

As you may have expected, different regions have different tasting tap water. So today we did a taste test to find out which area has the best and worst tasting water!

Note: Singapore's water is safe to drink and please don't take this ranking too seriously!

We had our team from all over Singapore bring their tap water together and 2 of us became the judge. We did the blind tasting.

So let's begin the ranking... From last to first place.

 

12. Yishun

Erm.. Yishun got the last place in our tap water taste test. The chlorine and metal taste is very strong once it was poured out of the bottle. "It taste like someone farted in the water before putting it in the bottle"

 

11. Woodlands

Woodlands' tap water also tasted like metal, but there was less chlorine taste. It didn't taste like a crowded swimming pool full of people and kids with small bladder. "It tastes like water from many years back.."

 

10. Choa Chu Kang

Choa Chu Kang also had metal tasting water and it looked kinda white, milky and sticky. I hope it's natural minerals... Anyway it was more drinkable than the previous two! 

 

9. Ang Mo Kio

Surprisingly, Ang Mo Kio's water had no metal taste, but it does taste like chlorine, which is used to keep the water clean but it affects the pure taste of water. And the chlorine taste remains even after boiling. "It tastes like swimming pool with fewer people."

8. Bukit Timah

I would expect Bukit Timah's water to be as atas as the people think they are. But no, Bukit Timah's water is just as meh as the rest. Chlorine and rusty taste.

 

7. Tampines

Tampines' water is a little special... It still has chlorine taste but also feels a little processed like NEWater. A kind of fake pureness taste. But it's not too bad!

 

6. Seng Kang

Seng Kang's water taste like plastic but interestingly, it's not too bad. Maybe it's because there is nothing much going on there. So the water is less polluted.

 

5. Jurong

What a surprise to know that Jurong is one of the top in this taste test. I would expect Jurong's water to come out in black from the many factories around there. But interestingly, the water taste pretty decent. In fact, there is quite little metal taste.

 

4. Punggol

Punggol's water is not bad at all! one person commented it tasted like paper. But other than that, it taste really good and clean!

 

3. Clementi

Clementi's water taste very neutral. It taste like nothing. It's kind of boring, just like Clementi? But nothing and boring is just what I like my water to taste like. If my water taste interesting, it's usually not a good sign. Nice water!

 

2. Pasir Ris

The Pasirians seem to have one of the best tasting water. Some commented it taste like mineral water from the bottle.. but the cheap kind. Well that's not too bad for tap water. We'll take it!

 

1. Bedok

Seems like the east-siders have the best tasting water. Congrats to Bedok for having the best tasting water. Bedok's water taste very pure, just like water from the mountain. Pure and premium tasting!

 

So that's the ranking of how Singapore's water taste like! How did your household fare in this ranking? Have a taste with your own tap water and see if you agree with our comments!

 

No matter how metallic, rusty or chlorine-y your water taste depending on your area, it never hurts to have them taste even purer and cleaner. After all, we place so much water into our bodies every day.

Top 5 Benefits of Having an Air Purifier

"Do air purifiers work?" is one of the most common questions we hear. They do, and having one has many benefits for improving the air quality in your home.

Some of the most beneficial reasons include:

1. Makes breathing easier.

Many pet owners complain about the odor, fur, and urine of their animals, while others have problems with family members who smoke. All of these are indoor air pollutants that harm people with allergies. Unfortunately, vacuuming doesn't always succeed in getting rid of these contaminants.

This problem can be solved by having an air purifier. A high-quality air purifier eliminates all viruses, dirt, and airborne particles that could build up in your home, including dust, pet dander, smoke, allergens, mold spores, etc.

This results in a healthy environment in which you can breathe easier. Those suffering from asthma, allergies, or other respiratory conditions should seriously consider having an air purifier at home.

2. Helps in skincare.

You might be surprised to learn that air purifiers might actually help your skin look better. After all, who doesn't want healthier skin? Pollutants and bacteria inside a home can be harmful to your skin. An air purifier filters out bacteria, which can lead to a reduction in acne, skin rashes, and dryness.

3. Improves the effectiveness of your beauty products.

Many people complain about the ineffectiveness of the skincare products they use without recognizing that the dust mites and bacteria around their homes affect how well the products work on their skin. By eliminating all the unwelcome bacteria from your home, an air purifier can improve the effectiveness of your beauty products.

4. Prevents allergies.

Air pollution can cause itchy skin and rashes if you have skin allergies. The pricey medicated lotions you might need can be very demanding on your budget. Both your skin and your wallet will benefit from using an air purifier that removes these dangerous pollutants from the air.

5. Slows down the skin aging process.

Cigarette smoke carries carbon particles that emit polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons when burned, which causes your skin to age quickly. An air purifier removes these free-flowing radicals that arise from smoke, slowing down your skin’s aging process.

The benefits mentioned above are just a few benefits of an air purifier. You'll be more surprised if you actually do have one and experienced it yourself! 

So which premium air purifier would be best for you and your family?

We highly recommend getting a Sterra Moon Air Purifier. The Sterra Moon Air Purifier is one of the most popular air purifiers in Singapore and is used by thousands of Singaporeans and celebrities. It uses cutting-edge technology to provide the best air filtering system but comes at a reasonable price. It is a popular household option because Sterra Moon offers value for money by providing high-quality air purifiers but making them budget-friendly. 

Sterra Moon Air Purifier blend with any household because of its sleek design. It looks elegant and has a unique charm that complements any household.

5 SIGNS That You Need an Air Purifier

Today, many purifiers are now available in the market and almost everyone is buying one. Right now, you’re probably asking yourself: “Do I really need an air purifier?”  


If you think that the air inside your home is safe, you may want to read on... The air inside your home could be slowly harming you and you might not be even aware of it. Most people think that the air inside their homes is safer because it is away from the harmful gasses and smoke coming from outdoor sources like vehicles and factories. However, there are other sources of harmful gasses and elements that might be present in your homes.

 

 Here are the five signs that you really need an air purifier.

1. Dust is everywhere in your home.

Dust is more than just bits of dirt and sand from outside. In fact, any solid matter that is broken into small enough bits to be blown around becomes dust.

If you want a cleaner home that has less dust floating around. A good air purifier can remove dust particles before they collect on surfaces.

2. Your home smells something.

You work hard to keep your home looking its best. However, if there’s a strange smell wafting around, it can throw off that welcoming, cozy feeling you deserve. And in some cases, the odor can be a sign of a health risk.

So if you want a fresher-smelling home. Air purifiers with a certain type of filter can extract odor molecules from the air from a variety of sources.

3. You or someone in your house gets sick easily.

Flu and cold are commonly spread through the air. This is because of the small pathogens in the air from those who have a cold and flu. Contacting these diseases is very easy, even if you isolate your household member, there is still a chance that you could get sick too because it is airborne transmitted.

Air purifiers help clear harmful bacteria and viruses, lowering the chance of airborne diseases spreading.

4. You have pets and want to reduce the level of dander, hair, or odors. 

You not only welcome these cute and lovely furry pets but it is vital to note that they come along with an unpleasant odor, dander, and even allergies. No matter how frequently you opt for home cleaning services, if there is a pet, you would definitely end up getting everything messy in and around your home.

An air purifier is an excellent device for trapping all types of particles emitted by cats, dogs, and other pets so your home stays cleaner.

Surprising Health Benefits of Air Purifiers

You’ve heard a lot about air purifiers. You’ve likely browsed them online or in the store, heard friends rave about them, and maybe wondered how an air purifier could help you.

 Did you know that air purifiers don’t just clear dust and pollen out of the air?

 

They do much, much more! Keep reading to discover some of the incredible health benefits of air purifiers and how they can’t prevent so many problems.

 

Removing Odor and Mold Spores

Whether it’s a stinky pet, tobacco smoke, cooking smells, or that strange smell always wafting in from your neighbor’s yard, an air purifier can really make a difference. While any filter will help, there are some filters whose primary goal is to remove odors and make sure your home is smelling fresh for anyone living there or an unexpected guest. It’s important to note that an air purifier can also trap and remove mold spores that are airborne. By removing the mold from your environment, it cannot travel and multiply, impacting your health.

Removing Allergens and Asthma Triggers

I think we can all agree pollen season never seems to lessen. There’s always something blooming and always a reason to sniffle. What about the dust? No matter how you clean, it’s still there. For someone with allergies or asthma, that’s a quality of life issue. 

Did you know that an air purifier can even capture particles that you can’t see? The air purifier will lock these allergens into the filter, releasing only clear, clean air. This is especially useful for pet owners or those who suffer from an allergy. Pet dander, which can be problematic for many, is reduced greatly with an air purifier.

Trap Smoke and Asbestos

Smoke from the grill or firepit can cause your nasal passages to swell and your throat to ache. It’s more than just an odor, it’s also fine particles that are filling the air. What about asbestos? The once common material known to cause cancer still exists in items that need to be heat or fireproof, such as pipe insulations and some types of clothing. It’s not safe to be breathing, but when we inhale, we can’t see what’s in the air. This is when your air purifier can really benefit your health.

Eliminate VOC’s

Volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) are found in chemicals such as paints, aerosol sprays, clothes from a dry cleaner, furniture, and more. These are very common items that we all have in our homes. The problem is, VOC’s lead to many health problems, and it’s important to reduce our exposure to them as much as possible. Air purifiers are able to reduce the VOC’s in the air through filtration, as well as increase circulation, allowing for cleaner, healthier air. 

Improves Sleep and Reduces Stress

An air purifier is working not only to filter pollutants in the air causing you to have a restless night, but also to reduce the chance that you’ll wake up when there’s an unwelcome disturbance, such as a dog barking or a loud vehicle passing your home. With this cleaner air, you will breathe easier, sleep better, and wake refreshed, not stuffy. More sleep and of a higher quality equals less stress! 

Bacteria and Viruses

It’s easily understood that bacteria and viruses cause a lot of health problems, both for those relatively healthy and those who have immune systems that are weakened. Did you know that an air purifier can actually remove bacteria and viruses? UV light and Ti02 type air purifiers are known to kill these airborne germs as the air circulates through the system. Their DNA structure actually gets broken down, deactivating their ability to reproduce and cause illness. When the air purifier is run, germs and allergens quickly die off, leaving clean, healthy air behind. 

As you can see air purifiers do a lot more than just “clean the air.” An air purifier can completely change your quality of life, providing you with clean, healthy air both when awake and asleep. By removing allergens, dangerous VOC’s, bacteria, viruses, and more, you’ll be sleeping better, breathing easier, and living healthier, without any additional effort on your part than plugging in the unit and pressing the one button.

What is the difference between HEPA, TRUE HEPA and Medical Grade HEPA?

Air purifiers are selling like crazy recently... and people are getting familiar with the importance of HEPA filters.

True HEPA filters are also highly effective and can catch up to 99.97% of particles that are not smaller than 0.3 microns. The regular HEPA filter air purifiers are the least recommendable as particles of 1.99 microns and smaller are not removed.

Benefits of air purifier with medical-grade air purifier

Poor indoor air can be directly linked to short-term issues such as headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and long-term health effects like respiratory and heart disease. It’s important now more than ever to have clean, healthy air in your home.
