Singapore Tap Water has no phosphate?

[Allan Asis]

I recently tested our tap water for phosphate and noticed 0ppm using API phosphate test kit.
To be sure, I also tested a distilled bottle water and compared color, they are the same.

has anyone tested our tap water for phosphate as well and got the same reading as mine?

I tested my tap water too, the result same as yours.

Were you expecting phosphate in our tap water?

goggling about tap water I found out that most of them has small amount of phosphate therefore I went to test ours.
Also, I would like to check the accuracy of API phosphate test kit. I've been dosing phosphorus in my tank for more than recommended but I continue to get 0ppm readings. Although I know that there's small amount that the test kit wouldn't be able to detect.

In case if you did not know, the water out of our taps are part processed rain water and NeWater. The processing of NeWater includes RO/DI so that would explain the better water quality that we have. However, the final product is still dependent on the pipes running in your building and house. Water out of aged pipes would be of lower quality as compared to newer pipes.
