Its depends on the location. Anecdoctal hearsay states that Sembawang has the lowest TDS readings and thus the best tap water quality.

However, it is my firm belief that one of the best investments one can make for his or her reef tank is to purchase a quality RO/DI unit or get a supply of distilled water from a drinking water supply company.

Many algae outbreak occurences in reef tanks have their origins in tap water being used.

Lots of aquarists here relies on RO/DI. My tank is small so I currently use bottled distilled.

Singapore tap water meets and exceeds WHO drinking water guidelines. - http://www.pub.gov.sg/general/Pages/WaterTreatment.aspx

Double digit percentage of what comes out the tap is "reclaimed" water called Newater. *wink wink*

For tap water I think it is not only the TDS but also the chlorine that is inside, It is bad for a reef tank. RI/DO do remover chlorine also, so it is good to own one. =)

      TRUSTED CRYPTO CURRENCY RECOVERY EXPERT//FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY.

      The sting of betrayal is a cruel mistress. It can leave you reeling, questioning your judgment, and feeling utterly vulnerable. This is precisely how I felt when I fell victim to a binary trading scam. The promise of lucrative returns, and a comfortable retirement, all those dreams I had meticulously built for decades crumbled under the weight of deceit. I had entrusted my hard-earned savings to a company that promised the moon, only to find myself in a desolate wasteland of broken promises and financial ruin. The company, a viper disguised in a suit of legitimacy, vanished into thin air, leaving me with nothing but shattered dreams and a hefty debt. The betrayal cut deep, a wound that festered with anger and despair. I sought solace in the digital world, hoping to find a path to recovery. I immersed myself in forums and online communities, searching for a solution, a glimmer of hope in the abyss of my despair. My research led me to countless tales of woe, stories that echoed my pain.
