some interesting stuff i learnt yesterday (:
*disclaimer: this is not to influence anyone to purchase any water enhancer systems through me, but this is interesting. just read on* (:
WHO has stated that SG's water is ranked the 6th cleanest in the world. fact? yes.
but this is in fact, only applicable at the point where the water is being released from the water reservoir (or rather, known as the point where the water is being released after being processed). once the water leaves that point, WHO is no longer held responsible for the standard of our water. this is stated in fine print in the legal documents itself.
therefore, in my opinion, you cannot argue the fact that our water is ranked the 6th cleanest in the world so you do not need a water filtration/ purification/ enhancer system. because in my opinion, this DOES NOT STAND.
im sure everyone does know that water is tranferred through pipes, stored in the water tank, then sent to our house. the accumulation of bacteria, fungi, moss, germs etc in the inbetween processes is BEYOND IMAGINATION. that is why the government adds chlorine into our water before releasing it to the public. addition of chlorine is NOT to SOLELY kill germs, bacteria, or whatsoever like how many people assume. but in addition, it is to prevent the growth of harmful micro-organisms when the water is being tranferred to places of usage. so you can assume how much chlorine they actually add. but good news is, chlorine evaporates. so probably if you stay at an apartment far from the water tank, the chlorine may all have evaporated and youre drinking water thats relatively healthier than those who live near the water tanks. but come on, youre still drinking heavily-processed-through-chemicals water.
therefore, drinking tap water without any processing is harmful to our health because there may still be traces of chlorine which are not evaporated. and in fact, the water we're drinking everyday is so heavily processed with chemicals.
EEEEW.
seriously, come to think of it, im quite -ve of SG's water as time passes. though true enough, people still stay alive and well based on drinking SG's tap water, but i think im gonna live on calwater instead. i wanna be MORE healthy. HAHA :D
