Is there any regulation on water purifying/treatment/filtering device?

Updated by SFA
SFA regulates the import and sale of bottled/packaged drinking-water. However, the import and sale of point-of-use (POU) water purifier system, filtering devices, water treatment devices (such as alkalizer or ionizer) and devices in whatever forms that claim to release substances into water or to treat water do not fall under SFAs purview. The quality of Singapore's PUB tap water is well within the World Health Organisation Guidelines for Drinking Water Quality and is safe for drinking. Hence, there is no necessity for consumers to further treat the water. The use of filtering or treatment devices to further treat PUB tap water is a consumer's choice.
