I recommend a reverse osmosis filter for anyone concerned. They strip everything from the water and require very little maintenance (annual pre and post filters, the membranes themselves last a long time). I have a small tap for it in the kitchen and it also feeds my ice maker. No hauling water, no pouring water into filter systems.
