Safe to drink?

I have recently relocated to HK. It's difficult to carry enough water to get me through long hot trail runs. I regularly see water pipes (see picture) and villagers using them to fill up big bottles. Is this water safe to drink or should I buy a filter for my soft flask before drinking? For reference the picture was taken on Wilson trail section 5 near Tai Wai.

1st time landlord - insurance advice sought

Recently relocated from UK to Hong Kong and about to rent out my previous UK primary residence (unfurnished 3 bed terrace in the South East, recently renovated). I have appointed an agency who will provide a fully managed service and have found tenants on my behalf.

I now need to take out landlords insurance and i'd value more experienced landlords views on what is and isn't required/sensible.

Definitely needed:

- Buildings insurance

- Liability insurance

Are these add-ons must-haves in the renters rights act era?

- Rent guarantee insurance

- Legal expenses cover

Don't think I'll take (but please shout if you think otherwise):

- Contents insurance

- Accidental damage cover

- Home emergency / Boiler cover

- Intentional damage by tenants

- Between tenancy vacancy cover

I looked through historic posts on this sub and my plan was to go directly to the below insurers for quotes. Have I missed anyone obvious/good? Would you recommend going direct or through a broker?

- DirectLine

- Alan Boswell

- Insure Homes Direct

- UK Insurance Net

Thanks a bunch!
