Is HK Tap Water safe to drink?
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has looked into this properly. I know most Chinese locals just boil the water and consider it safe to drink.
I've tried Brita filters also but the water quality doesn't taste good. I moved to a old-style building in North Point and after a while (6+ months), I noticed that I had really bad skin (irritable, redness, and little bumps all over) and hay-like hair - I just attributed it to allergy symptoms due to the poor air quality of the neighborhood.
Since moving in with my boyfriend more than a year ago, I've been exclusively drinking bottled Volvic. My skin has never looked this good since moving to HK 4 years ago. He was away for a week for work and I went back to drinking tap, and within the week, my skin became irritable, and bumpy. Now I wonder if it really is the water that's causing this. Is HK water safe?
I'm looking for mineral balance and more importantly absence of heavy metals, chlorine and other chemicals that may be artificially added to treat the water.
Many thanks!
