Danger! Danger! Do NOT Reboil Water Again & Again!!! This is the e-mail I received today : Of course, I think this is rubbish la... This is what I wrote :
It is true that water contains much pollutants nowadays. Mercury, ni-cad, heavy metals, poisonous biphenyls and weird stuff in there, we gotta not drink all of them for the sake of health and our next generations! Even lead, in parts per million, could make us go silly! That's why my home has a filter in the compound (that simple one with wool-mesh filter) and a RO filter in my home kitchen. Psykotik, is your RO/DI setup from the General Electric one? Because they seem to be in some homes in America nowadays.
Probably activated carbon. We used that in Perth. I have enough faith in Singapore's water system though
If I'm not mistaken, activated carbon is best for removing odour and chemicals, but poor at removing bacteria and dirt. Best used with treated water, I think.
Hahaha I had the same thing when I was in UK, too lazy to boil and wait for it to cool down, can't drink from tap cause of hard water. Hahaha you'll drink ur own urine when u are desperate.
