Best water dispenser Singapore: Here are our Top 10 & a guide to choose one for your budget
Water is life and the water you put in your body— and your family’s bodies— directly impacts health and wellbeing. For that reason, the best water dispenser Singapore can be an important addition to your home and office.
We aren’t talking about the ancient gigantic-upside-bottle water dispenser found in boring waiting rooms. Modern water dispensers are much sleeker. Some models dispense water at different temperatures, meaning you can get a boiling cup for tea or an ice-cold glass of drinking water at the push of a button.
Water from a water dispenser is not just for drinking. You can use it for every cup of coffee or tea, and to cook everything from pasta to meat to instant noodles, both at home and at the office.
Here are the 6 factors you should consider before buying the best water dispenser Singapore offers for your needs.
1. Design – freestanding or countertop
A freestanding water dispenser is usually significantly larger than a countertop water dispenser. However, it is often relegated to a quiet corner and doesn’t come in the way. A countertop dispenser, despite its small size, usually takes up valuable kitchen counter space (whether in the home or the office).
2. Storage – tanked or tankless
Tankless water dispensers are usually more expensive and require installation as they are connected directly to the water supply. This means it is a semi-permanent fixture once operational. The advantage is that no time or effort is expended in refilling it.
A water dispenser with a tank is mobile— you can shift it to a new location without much difficulty. Importantly, they are also more affordable. The downside is the perpetual cycle of cleaning and refilling the tank.
3. Capacity – how much water it can hold and how often it needs refilling
Tanked water dispensers vary in size according to capacity and design. A large tank is convenient for an office or home with many occupants.
4. Power – how much electricity it requires to function
A water dispenser may require an electricity supply for 2 reasons: to power the pump and to heat or chill the water. An instant hot water dispenser for a cuppa or cold water on demand is convenient but consider the impact on your utility bills, too.
5. Temperature – can it heat and chill water?
If you already have a kettle or coffee machine, a hot water dispenser becomes redundant. The same applies for a cold water dispenser if you have a fridge with a door water dispenser.
In both these cases, it may be better to get a simple water dispenser that costs less and is cheaper to operate, too.
Water dispensers that store both hot and cold water will be bigger and heavier, too.
6. Filter and alkaline processing – the health-conscious options
While the water supply in Singapore is safely potable, some people raise concerns about its acidity. Others dislike the thought of drinking “recycled” water. A water dispenser with filtration capabilities and an alkalinisation system may be the answer. Of course, devices with these features are generally more expensive to buy and maintain.
Other features of good water dispensers
Space under water outlet – A tall space underneath the water outlet allows you to fill a water bottle or large cooking pot directly and easily.
Visible water gauge – It’s convenient if you can tell how much water is in the tank at a glance.
Tank design – A removable tank makes it easy to refill your water dispenser. Well-designed water tanks are simple to detach and reattach.
Volume control – Dispenses an exact volume automatically. Multiple settings are useful for different uses, such as a cuppa, instant noodles or cooking.
Child-proof lid – Definitely a crucial feature if you have curious kids (or clumsy adults) in the house.
