Since the start of 2020, we have adopted many new hygiene practices to keep us healthy and safe during the pandemic — and the water we drink should be no exception! Read on for the best filter options to achieve odourless and mineral-filled H2O every day.
Approaching COVID-19 as an endemic means that we have to get used to living with the virus (read: WFH) — but that doesn’t mean letting up on our standard of cleanliness or hygiene. It extends beyond bringing our own takeaway boxes, wearing masks, or applying hand sanitisers every second. Today, we’re talking about a daily necessity: drinking water. In Singapore, water filters are not mandatory — in fact, the Singapore National Water Agency (PUB) okays the consumption of water straight from our taps. However, while your estate’s water tanks are usually upkeeped by third-party contractors, and adhere strictly to a schedule of maintenance, there are one-off occasions whereby homeowners have found impurities or odd-coloured water flowing from their taps. In addition, for those who aren’t quite used to the taste, unboiled tap water could come across as a little funky. That’s where our search for ‘water filters Singapore’ came in — who wouldn’t want to retain the essential minerals that might otherwise be lost through boiling, whilst sieving out any odours and foul tastes? Hence, we have compiled a list of the absolute best water filter pitchers and dispensers from Amazon US that will be compatible with your home!
