Hi Guys,

Just some piece of info.

If you, like me, top up the tank water with distilled water, you might want to go to Cold Storage for a visit.

They are selling 12 X 1.5 litre of distilled water for $5.85. The brand is first choice.

i don't think i have seen it any cheaper so far...

Cheers,

Thanks for the headsup pweesng.

Keep a lookout at NTUC too. From time to time, they will have discount on their distilled water at about the same price.

about 80cents for 2x 1.5l bottles.

The cheapest for some of our bros here is to recycle the water bottle everyday and collect from office dispenser. lol

Some office dispensers use mineral water not distilled water. :rolleyes:

Cheapest water i bought is actually near my office. At the Sheng Siong super market at Chin Swee road.. the small water ice mountain is only S$0.15, the 1.5l is i think S$0.60 :)

NTUC sells the cheapest distilled water. $1.35 for 3 bottles (1.5L).

Beware those companies that supply drinking water to home. Have not heard of contract-free deliveries so far leh. Maybe business world has changed plenty hungry from financial crisis that such deals exist now. Don't believe that such company can provide man, vehicle & schedule to send small qty and charge really cheaper with no volume turnover consideration. Many stories from past forumers sharing abt tied down by contract fine print & auto contract renewal practices. Even well established companies resort to hard/pushy sales tactics.

Btw for aquarium top-up, 3-10L/wk better off buy from supermarts. It's just few cents more each time & not 12/24 mths contracted commitment. Just my 1 cent worth opinion.

NTUC distilled water is still cheaper according to my calculations.

Arees: 57L => $19.26 + 7% GST => $20.61 => $0.3616/L

NTUC: 3 x 1.5L => $1.35 => $0.30/L

Used to make my own clean water using DI resin (same as those used in DI cartridge) bought from a Jurong company specialize in water treatment. Average cost below 15 cents/litre using domestic tap water.

Think there is an old thread in DIY section on DI water purifier setup. Those interested in the DI resin can pm me for the contact, not related with me in any way.

      WTS Tanks, Equipment

      Hey everyone, I've a set of many things to sell off as one set. The following are in this set: 1. Long fish tank, 90x30x30 - beautiful glass, well taken care of, no scratches 2. Standard fish tank, 60x45x45 - beautiful glass, as you can see, still with bottom and top cardboard covers. 3. Metal stand for the long tank - rusted by strong. Usable. Please note the width of this stand is 50, and the long tank's width is 30, so there's around 15 cm space. 4. Nano tank, well taken care of. Beautiful glass. (The gadgets in there all taken out, so just tank with it's back sump. 5. A baby tank 6. A bunch of stuff: - Tidal 35, Seachem filter - two oxygen pumps - plastic fish tank protein skimmer - portable fan - large wavemaker - 90x45 nice tank background poster - mini filters Basically what's in there + take. In the photos below, I've saved some pictures from when I purchaser them. These were all used for marine/saltwater fish - if you want to convert to others; simply wash (that's why I got these tanks, flexibility). I've used them for a year or less. Selling since these are in my office, and we have settled on one custom size. And we may be moving. Need to send these off. Would prefer someone to take everything, clear everything. Only $220 for everything. If I see anything else I don't want laying around, I'll also pass to you. Self-collection/self pick up. Location: Indus Road, ground floor. PM me if keen, cheers!e0774394470a15537f6187c32e4cb04f.avif sg-11134201-22100-a8sr3atpx6ivfe.avif
