I quote: The Straits Times- Friday FORUM 28 Jan 05
Water quality is tops, so is more filtration needed?
I refer to the article, Water quality here is world-class (ST,
Jan 26).
I would like the authorities to go further and explain in details
just how good is world-class quality water, for example, the water
impact on health, and the substances and chemicals (if any) found
in our tap water.
In so doing, I hope to have conclusive proof that our tap water is
safe for drinking straight from the tap without further filtration
or purification.
This is to rebut claims by vendors of household
water-filtration systems that water from household taps is not
clean enough for consumption and requires after-market treatment.
In addition, some systems also ionize water for better
health.
No one should be prevented from making an honest living, but if
pseudo-scientific claims are passed off as facts, consumers are at
risk of being led into making frivolous purchases.
I hope the study done by the PUB panel of experts will shed light
on the quality of tap water for consumption.

Do not buy the idea from MLM that water is not good enough from the
tap and further filtration or treatment is needed. You are only
going to spend unnecessarily. For me, the most is boil it to get
hot water for making my cup of tea.
