Water dispensers in Singapore
It’s common knowledge that we’re supposed to down at least eight cups of water a day, but with everyone at home drinking up, even the best kettles can struggle to keep up. To help you stay hydrated in our humid Singapore weather, a water dispenser is your best bet for clean and fresh water on demand.
For convenience, you might pick a variable temperature dispenser for hot or cold water at a push of a button. There are also options with filtration and disinfection features and even ones that provide alkaline water for added health benefits. To fit your specific needs, here’s a rundown on the 13 water dispensers in Singapore:

1. Cosmo Quantum – Purified water with 99.9% filtration accuracyÂ

Cosmo Quantum, however, provides the nifty function of having three temperature options at all times which you can customise for green tea brewing, formula milk making, or disinfecting.
