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.
