If Our Tap Water is Safe, Why Water Dispensers? [Giveaway Included!]

Home Appliances & Tech

2699 views

Thanks to the efforts of Singapore's Public Utilities Agency (PUB), we have highly potable water that is easily accessible via our taps and outdoor water coolers. Treatment plans such as the NEWater process for recycling water, rainwater harvesting, and desalination plants, as well as PUB’s consistent monitoring and testing of local water sources, have contributed to providing good drinking water for all.

There has been, however, an increase in demand for better water quality. To improve our drinking water quality, more homes are investing in water dispensers and domestic filtration systems to filter our tap water further for consumption.

Why have water dispensers become a necessity in our homes, even with the sufficiency of our water supply? Is it always safe to drink water directly from our taps?

Germs From Unwashed Taps and Pipes

Even if water has been through numerous purification processes and tests, it can still get contaminated by germs and bacteria as they emerge from our taps.

This is especially if the spouts and aerators (the parts of the tap/faucet from which water emerges) are not washed regularly and properly. Mould, bacteria, and germs hide in these hidden crevices and can easily enter our water. Such pathogens can also come from our pipes, especially if our pipes are rusty or unwashed.

Thus, not every drop of water that comes from our taps is safe for consumption. Water dispensers carry filtration systems or sterilising technology to remove those hidden invaders so we can drink our water without any worries.

Added Convenience in Cooling or Boiling Water

It takes time and effort to create ice and boil water; pouring water into moulds and waiting for them to freeze or pulling out a kettle and switching on the stove for hot water. Even a thermos flask can keep water hot or cold for a few hours at most.

Water dispensers, particularly those with preset temperature settings, can give cold or hot water at the simple tap of a button, saving you both time and effort in getting the water temperature you need.

Taste of Water

The taste of water varies depending on your plumbing set-up. Some people may not like the taste of tap water, so water dispensers can help alter the taste of their drinking water according to their preferences.

Also, fun fact: PUB’s observations have revealed that raw water in some parts of Singapore is hard, and such hardness affects the taste of water. Thus, it is not ideal to have excessively hard water for drinking, especially when making water-based beverages like Milo or coffee.

Some water dispensers may be equipped with water softeners, giving your drinking water a crisper and purer taste and making it good for drinking.

Accommodating To All

Whether you are living on your own or sharing your home with a roommate or with family, a water dispenser can help accommodate everyone whenever they need to drink. Rather than fetching water from a sink, one can immediately turn to a water dispenser.

If someone is using the sink for water-related tasks, like washing dishes or vegetables, someone who is thirsty can just use a water dispenser instead of waiting for the sink to be cleared. Most water dispensers will dispense water within 30 - 60 seconds, so you will see no long lines in front of one.

Statement Piece

Water dispensers come in all shapes, sizes, and colours - from filters where you pour in water to tankless dispensers that take directly from the pipes.

From sleek metallic cubes to smooth artistic cylinders, there is a water dispenser to complement every interior style. Some water dispensers are even printed with famous characters to appeal to a younger audience.

A water dispenser can do more than give pure drinking water; it can beautify your home as well. They are also compact enough to not take up too much space
