Drinking Water in Singapore

PUB's water supply is :

  • treated to a quality that is well within the World Health Organisation (WHO) Guidelines for Drinking Water Quality
  • disinfected by dosing chlorine during treatment processes. Chlorine is used internationally as a disinfecting agent in drinking water. The residual chlorine present in tap water is in the form of chloramines or free chlorine.

Using Tap Water For Aquarium

  • Chlorine Residual level in our treated water is <2ppm and is well within WHO Guideline of 5ppm
  • Hobbyists who manage their aquarium system at home need to take extra precaution if they want to use fresh drinking water in their aquariums
  • This is because some types of fish may be sensititve to chlorine/choramine present in the drinking water
