hey Lam_wn...
Well, maybe your VFTs are genetically incline not to produce much of red colouration... the colouration also depends on the genetic disposition... not just the sunlight. VFT f heterophylla will always be green under full sun, they do not have the genetic traits to produce red pigmentation on their leaves. Royal reds will just fire up with maroon leaves and traps with just little light. But i guess with 9am to 4pm of direct sun is enough for your VFTs to grow well...
Usually i realise VFTs grow in a certain direction, until it reaches to the corner of the pot, that's when i repot them or when they deteriorate.
Hmm... i think singapore water is just fine for CPs, but u have to beware of mineral build up... Usually when it rains heavily, the rain is enough to wash away certain amount of excess minerals on the soil. Just like today?
