But with all the options on the market, how do you pick the right one?\nWe decided to ask the experts from Wells Singapore – a trusted lifestyle brand with over 20 years of expertise in premium water dispensers.\nYes, they’re the ones behind the Wells The One water dispenser, a household favourite.\nGet your cheat sheet for choosing an ID!\n1. How do I choose a water purifier that suits my family’s needs?\nIf you have no clue where to begin, start with these factors:\nTemperature controls\nA water purifier with a variety of specific temperature controls – from hot to cold water – is the best.\nFor instance, a lukewarm water setting for baby formulas means you can skip the tedious process of boiling water and waiting for it to cool. Elderly family members may prefer hot water, while younger kids tend to like cooler water.\nThe Wells The One water purifier, for instance, has six temperature options including hot, cold, and room-temperature water so you can easily prepare your morning cuppa with a touch of a button (among other things).\nIt also has volume controls so you can pick from fixed water quantities or go with a free-flowing option.\nDesign, ease of use and safety features\nBesides the aesthetics of your water purifier and whether it matches your interior, Wells shares that it couldn’t be more important to ensure your water purifier is easy for anyone in your family to use, be it the older folks or your little tots.\nThis includes features like simple touch controls and a clear display to indicate what you are dispensing.\nDo also look out for safety mechanisms for oft-curious young children to prevent them from accidentally dispensing hot water.\nWe checked out the Wells water purifiers for ourselves and there’s no doubt they all have great designs that work for different needs:\nWells The One:\nstylish, minimalist design with a wheel touch and a 180º rotatable body for convenient use, along with an adjustable (and movable) tray to fit larger or taller containers\/bottles\nWells Home Café:\nslim design with a first-of-its-kind dual extraction feature to enjoy both coffee and tea whenever you fancy\nWells True Tankless UV+:\nintuitive touch display and safety LED lighting that is convenient for the elderly and young children, along with a one-touch sliding nozzle to fit any container\nWells Mini:\na sleek, space-saving design with three-way adjustable faucet positions\nConsider filtration technology\nAccording to Wells, the most common type of filtration in Singapore is nanofiltration, compared to other techniques like reverse osmosis.\nWhile reverse osmosis uses more fine membranes to filter out most contaminants, its main drawback is that it also filters out minerals that are good for your body.\nOn the other hand, the comprehensive 9-step nanofiltration system used by Wells water purifiers maintains the minerals and filters out harmful substances such as heavy metals and norovirus (aka the\n“vomiting bug”\n).\nWater purifier size: fits in your space?\nIn our homes (and kitchens) that only seem to be getting more compact, your water purifier should be equally compact – unless, of course, space is not a concern for you.\nOne of the sleekest in the market is The Wells The One water purifier which has a\nslim 8.8cm design\nthat helps you maximise your countertop space thanks to the filtration unit being installed within your cabinet.\nOn top of that, it has a sleek and stylish design – including a subtly curved head that exudes a modern-luxe feel. With five aesthetic colour options, it’s a great fit for any contemporary home.\n2. Tank vs tankless water purifiers: which is better?\nWells shared that while tank models used to be commonplace years ago, tankless water purifiers are the top choice for most today.\nYou might be wondering what the differences are. Here’s the breakdown, as shared by Wells:\nWater purifier type\nPros\nCons\nTank\nHas a faster water flow\nConsumes more electricity to constantly heat\/cool water in tank\nStagnant water in tank may get contaminated\nTypically bulky\nTankless\nFreshly channelled from pipes, which is more hygienic\nWater dispensed on demand – saves electricity\nMore space-saving than tank water purifiers\nHas a slightly slower water flow\nVerdict:\nA tankless purifier is probably the most suitable for many households.\nFind trusted IDs near your neighbourhood easily.\nFind IDs\n3. What are the installation requirements for a water purifier?\nDepending on the type of purifier model you pick and your kitchen setup, you may need to drill your countertop and consider under-counter space as well. Another factor is whether water inlets and outlets are both necessary, the latter which may not be available in older units.\nBe sure to bring along your floorplan and discuss the installation provisions with vendors you’re considering.\nAs for Wells water purifiers, The One requires drilling 4cm of the countertop and the cabinet should have sufficient under-counter space to fit in a filtration unit.\nThe Wells True Tankless UV+ water purifier, on the other hand, has a non-drilling option; while it would take up more space on the counter, it doesn’t require any separate under-counter space for the filtration system.\n4. How should I maintain my water purifier?\nWhile this will vary for different water purifier models, it’s important to change your water purifier filters regularly, as indicated by the manufacturer\/vendor.\nWith modern technology, some water purifiers like Wells The One have a smart indicator to prompt you to change filters.\nFor Wells The One, depending on the household makeup and water consumption, one set of filters may last about 12 months for a couple. For a bigger family, it would require filter replacement more frequently.\nWells shares that depending on the vendor, there may be a transport fee or service charges for replacing filters.\nAs for Wells water purifiers, the filter replacement service is complimentary.\n6. Should after-sales service be a concern?\nWith a product like a water purifier that you’d use heavily over time, knowing that you can expect prompt and responsive replies if an issue arises will give you peace of mind – so yes, do check on what after-sales services are available and whether they are reliable.\nWells offers great customer service, and they have knowledgeable staff who can clearly guide you on how to use your product.

How do I choose a water purifier that suits my family’s needs?\n\nIf you have no clue where to begin, start with these factors:\n\nTemperature controls\n\n![wells the one](https:\/\/d1hy6t2xeg0mdl.cloudfront.net\/image\/830888\/6ec9c6d2b6\/700-width)\n\nA water purifier with a variety of specific temperature controls – from hot to cold water – is the best.\n\nFor instance, a lukewarm water setting for baby formulas means you can skip the tedious process of boiling water and waiting for it to cool. Elderly family members may prefer hot water, while younger kids tend to like cooler water.\n\nThe Wells The One water purifier, for instance, has six temperature options including hot, cold, and room-temperature water so you can easily prepare your morning cuppa with a touch of a button (among other things).\n\nIt also has volume controls so you can pick from fixed water quantities or go with a free-flowing option.\n\nDesign, ease of use and safety features\n\n![wells the one water purifier](https:\/\/d1hy6t2xeg0mdl.cloudfront.net\/image\/830878\/053619f899\/700-width)\n\nBesides the aesthetics of your water purifier and whether it matches your interior, Wells shares that it couldn’t be more important to ensure your water purifier is easy for anyone in your family to use, be it the older folks or your little tots.\n\nThis includes features like simple touch controls and a clear display to indicate what you are dispensing.\n\nDo also look out for safety mechanisms for oft-curious young children to prevent them from accidentally dispensing hot water.\n\n![best water purifier singapore wells the one](https:\/\/d1hy6t2xeg0mdl.cloudfront.net\/image\/830879\/71b61ad602\/700-width)\n\nWe checked out the Wells water purifiers for ourselves and there’s no doubt they all have great designs that work for different needs:\n\n- **Wells The One:** stylish, minimalist design with a wheel touch and a 180º rotatable body for convenient use, along with an adjustable (and movable) tray to fit larger or taller containers\/bottles\n- **Wells Home Café:** slim design with a first-of-its-kind dual extraction feature to enjoy both coffee and tea whenever you fancy\n- **Wells True Tankless UV+:** intuitive touch display and safety LED lighting that is convenient for the elderly and young children, along with a one-touch sliding nozzle to fit any container\n- **Wells Mini:** a sleek, space-saving design with three-way adjustable faucet positions\n\nConsider filtration technology\n\n![water purifier singapore](https:\/\/d1hy6t2xeg0mdl.cloudfront.net\/image\/830880\/e274271819\/700-width)\n\nAccording to Wells, the most common type of filtration in Singapore is nanofiltration, compared to other techniques like reverse osmosis.\n\nWhile reverse osmosis uses more fine membranes to filter out most contaminants, its main drawback is that it also filters out minerals that are good for your body.\n\nOn the other hand, the comprehensive 9-step nanofiltration system used by Wells water purifiers maintains the minerals and filters out harmful substances such as heavy metals and norovirus (aka the [“vomiting bug”](https:\/\/www.sfa.gov.sg\/food-safety-tips\/food-risk-concerns\/risk-at-a-glance\/norovirus-\$vomiting-bug\$)).\n\nWater purifier size: fits in your space?\n\n![best water purifier singapore](https:\/\/d1hy6t2xeg0mdl.cloudfront.net\/image\/830881\/9f28944859\/700-width)\n\nIn our homes (and kitchens) that only seem to be getting more compact, your water purifier should be equally compact – unless, of course, space is not a concern for you.\n\nOne of the sleekest in the market is The Wells The One water purifier which has a **slim 8.8cm design** that helps you maximise your countertop space thanks to the filtration unit being installed within your cabinet.\n\nOn top of that, it has a sleek and stylish design – including a subtly curved head that exudes a modern-luxe feel.

With the convenience and other benefits they offer, it’s no wonder water purifiers are a must-have for modern homes. But with all the options on the market, how do you pick the right one? We decided to ask the experts from Wells Singapore – a trusted lifestyle brand with over 20 years of expertise in premium water dispensers. Yes, they’re the ones behind the Wells The One water dispenser, a household favourite. Get your cheat sheet for choosing an ID! 1. How do I choose a water purifier that suits my family’s needs? If you have no clue where to begin, start with these factors: Temperature controls A water purifier with a variety of specific temperature controls – from hot to cold water – is the best. For instance, a lukewarm water setting for baby formulas means you can skip the tedious process of boiling water and waiting for it to cool.

This includes features like simple touch controls and a clear display to indicate what you are dispensing. Do also look out for safety mechanisms for oft-curious young children to prevent them from accidentally dispensing hot water.

Depending on the type of purifier model you pick and your kitchen setup, you may need to drill your countertop and consider under-counter space as well. Another factor is whether water inlets and outlets are both necessary, the latter which may not be available in older units. Be sure to bring along your floorplan and discuss the installation provisions with vendors you’re considering. As for Wells water purifiers, The One requires drilling 4cm of the countertop and the cabinet should have sufficient under-counter space to fit in a filtration unit. The Wells True Tankless UV+ water purifier, on the other hand, has a non-drilling option; while it would take up more space on the counter, it doesn’t require any separate under-counter space for the filtration system. 4. How should I maintain my water purifier? While this will vary for different water purifier models, it’s important to change your water purifier filters regularly, as indicated by the manufacturer/vendor. With modern technology, some water purifiers like Wells The One have a smart indicator to prompt you to change filters. For Wells The One, depending on the household makeup and water consumption, one set of filters may last about 12 months for a couple. For a bigger family, it would require filter replacement more frequently. Wells shares that depending on the vendor, there may be a transport fee or service charges for replacing filters. As for Wells water purifiers, the filter replacement service is complimentary. 6. Should after-sales service be a concern? With a product like a water purifier that you’d use heavily over time, knowing that you can expect prompt and responsive replies if an issue arises will give you peace of mind – so yes, do check on what after-sales services are available and whether they are reliable. Wells offers great customer service, and they have knowledgeable staff who can clearly guide you on how to use your product.

With the convenience and other benefits they offer, it’s no wonder water purifiers are a must-have for modern homes. But with all the options on the market, how do you pick the right one? We decided to ask the experts from Wells Singapore – a trusted lifestyle brand with over 20 years of expertise in premium water dispensers. Yes, they’re the ones behind the Wells The One water dispenser, a household favourite.

Download Here * ## 1\. How do I choose a water purifier that suits my family’s needs? If you have no clue where to begin, start with these factors: ### Temperature controls ![wells the one](https://d1hy6t2xeg0mdl.cloudfront.net/image/830888/6ec9c6d2b6/700-width) ![Save to Qanvast Board](https://qanvast.com/next-images/boards/icon-bookmark.png) Save this photo A water purifier with a variety of specific temperature controls – from hot to cold water – is the best. For instance, a lukewarm water setting for baby formulas means you can skip the tedious process of boiling water and waiting for it to cool. Elderly family members may prefer hot water, while younger kids tend to like cooler water. The Wells The One water purifier, for instance, has six temperature options including hot, cold, and room-temperature water so you can easily prepare your morning cuppa with a touch of a button (among other things). It also has volume controls so you can pick from fixed water quantities or go with a free-flowing option. ### Design, ease of use and safety features ![wells the one water purifier](https://d1hy6t2xeg0mdl.cloudfront.net/image/830878/053619f899/700-width) ![Save to Qanvast Board](https://qanvast.com/next-images/boards/icon-bookmark.png) Save this photo Besides the aesthetics of your water purifier and whether it matches your interior, Wells shares that it couldn’t be more important to ensure your water purifier is easy for anyone in your family to use, be it the older folks or your little tots. This includes features like simple touch controls and a clear display to indicate what you are dispensing. Do also look out for safety mechanisms for oft-curious young children to prevent them from accidentally dispensing hot water. ![best water purifier singapore wells the one](https://d1hy6t2xeg0mdl.cloudfront.net/image/830879/71b61ad602/700-width) ![Save to Qanvast Board](https://qanvast.com/next-images/boards/icon-bookmark.png) Save this photo We checked out the Wells water purifiers for ourselves and there’s no doubt they all have great designs that work for different needs: - Wells The One: stylish, minimalist design with a wheel touch and a 180º rotatable body for convenient use, along with an adjustable (and movable) tray to fit larger or taller containers/bottles - Wells Home Café: slim design with a first-of-its-kind dual extraction feature to enjoy both coffee and tea whenever you fancy - Wells True Tankless UV+: intuitive touch display and safety LED lighting that is convenient for the elderly and young children, along with a one-touch sliding nozzle to fit any container - Wells Mini: a sleek, space-saving design with three-way adjustable faucet positions ### Consider filtration technology ![water purifier singapore](https://d1hy6t2xeg0mdl.cloudfront.net/image/830880/e274271819/700-width) ![Save to Qanvast Board](https://qanvast.com/next-images/boards/icon-bookmark.png) Save this photo According to Wells, the most common type of filtration in Singapore is nanofiltration, compared to other techniques like reverse osmosis. While reverse osmosis uses more fine membranes to filter out most contaminants, its main drawback is that it also filters out minerals that are good for your body. On the other hand, the comprehensive 9-step nanofiltration system used by Wells water purifiers maintains the minerals and filters out harmful substances such as heavy metals and norovirus (aka the [“vomiting bug”](https://www.sfa.gov.sg/food-safety-tips/food-risk-concerns/risk-at-a-glance/norovirus-$vomiting-bug$)). ### Water purifier size: fits in your space? ![best water purifier singapore](https://d1hy6t2xeg0mdl.cloudfront.net/image/830881/9f28944859/700-width) ![Save to Qanvast Board](https://qanvast.com/next-images/boards/icon-bookmark.png) Save this photo In our homes (and kitchens) that only seem to be getting more compact, your water purifier should be equally compact – unless, of course, space is not a concern for you. One of the sleekest in the market is The Wells The One water purifier which has a slim 8.8cm design that helps you maximise your countertop space thanks to the filtration unit being installed within your cabinet. On top of that, it has a sleek and stylish design – including a subtly curved head that exudes a modern-luxe feel. With five aesthetic colour options, it’s a great fit for any contemporary home. * ## 2\. Tank vs tankless water purifiers: which is better? ![water purifier dispenser](https://d1hy6t2xeg0mdl.cloudfront.net/image/830882/d44821c01f/700-width) ![Save to Qanvast Board](https://qanvast.com/next-images/boards/icon-bookmark.png) Save this photo Wells shared that while tank models used to be commonplace years ago, tankless water purifiers are the top choice for most today. You might be wondering what the differences are. Here’s the breakdown, as shared by Wells: \| Water purifier type \| Pros \| Cons \| \|---\|---\|---\| \| Tank \| Has a faster water flow \| Consumes more electricity to constantly heat/cool water in tank Stagnant water in tank may get contaminated Typically bulky \| \| Tankless \| Freshly channelled from pipes, which is more hygienic Water dispensed on demand – saves electricity More space-saving than tank water purifiers \| Has a slightly slower water flow \| Verdict: A tankless purifier is probably the most suitable for many households. * [![Find trusted IDs near your neighbourhood easily.](https://qanvast.com/next-images/articlesLandingPage/find-ids.svg)Find trusted IDs near your neighbourhood easily.](https://renovate.qanvast.com/near-me?utm_campaign=idsnearme) [Find IDs](https://renovate.qanvast.com/near-me?utm_campaign=idsnearme) ## 3\. What are the installation requirements for a water purifier? ![wells home cafe](https://d1hy6t2xeg0mdl.cloudfront.net/image/830883/329c9600f0/700-width) ![Save to Qanvast Board](https://qanvast.com/next-images/boards/icon-bookmark.png) Save this photo The Wells Mini (left) and [Wells Home Café](https://qanvast.com/sg/articles/wells-now-has-a-coffee-tea-capsule-machine-and-its-so-pretty-3257?from=article-image) (right) Depending on the type of purifier model you pick and your kitchen setup, you may need to drill your countertop and consider under-counter space as well. Another factor is whether water inlets and outlets are both necessary, the latter which may not be available in older units. Be sure to bring along your floorplan and discuss the installation provisions with vendors you’re considering. As for Wells water purifiers, The One requires drilling 4cm of the countertop and the cabinet should have sufficient under-counter space to fit in a filtration unit. The Wells True Tankless UV+ water purifier, on the other hand, has a non-drilling option; while it would take up more space on the counter, it doesn’t require any separate under-counter space for the filtration system. * ## 4\. How should I maintain my water purifier? ![best water purifier singapore](https://d1hy6t2xeg0mdl.cloudfront.net/image/830884/6afc13a06f/700-width) ![Save to Qanvast Board](https://qanvast.com/next-images/boards/icon-bookmark.png) Save this photo While this will vary for different water purifier models, it’s important to change your water purifier filters regularly, as indicated by the manufacturer/vendor. With modern technology, some water purifiers like Wells The One have a smart indicator to prompt you to change filters. For Wells The One, depending on the household makeup and water consumption, one set of filters may last about 12 months for a couple. For a bigger family, it would require filter replacement more frequently. * ## 5\. Are there any potential hidden costs? ![wells water purifier](https://d1hy6t2xeg0mdl.cloudfront.net/image/830885/c26318cb21/700-width) ![Save to Qanvast Board](https://qanvast.com/next-images/boards/icon-bookmark.png) Save this photo Wells shares that depending on the vendor, there may be a transport fee or service charges for replacing filters. As for Wells water purifiers, the filter replacement service is complimentary. * ## 6\. Should after-sales service be a concern? With a product like a water purifier that you’d use heavily over time, knowing that you can expect prompt and responsive replies if an issue arises will give you peace of mind – so yes, do check on what after-sales services are available and whether they are reliable. Wells offers great customer service, and they have knowledgeable staff who can clearly guide you on how to use your product.
