UV light have been proven scientifically to achieve more than what heating can do to certain bacterias that cannot be killed at 100 degC. Furthermore, UV is lower cost in terms of electricity usage in Watts... so it's a lot more environmentally friendly. Sure, you can drink straight from the tap, but given my proofs in the photographs above, you are taking in fine (heavy) metal particles into your organs. Prolonged intake can be harmful, if not hazardous to health. Didn't your mum teach you to wrap a piece of cloth around the tap and change it often? Those <strong>brownish stuffs</strong> you see in the photos are but just one of the many contaminants you will find in our tap water. At the present moment, water scientists have discovered over 100 types of contaminants that may be present in drinking water that you may not be aware of. Of course, the quality of tap water will vary across the country. Boiling water is supposed to kill bacterias and other living bio-organism in the water.

In fact, you can drink straight from our HDB tap water but recommended one is to boil the tap water for drinking water. Hi Wai Loong,
