Water Filtration

Will this WaterPur water treatment system be adequate to use water in Mexico out of the tap?
Our motor home has a WaterPur filter system with a CCi-10CLWE12 cartridge. It is made of activated carbon particles fused into a uniform block, providing a micron rating of 1 micron.
Removes over 99% of turbidity
Removes over 99% of Giardia and Crypotosporidium
Does not permit the passage of cultivated bacteria

    We drank the tap water in mainland Mexico for 3 months, but often added plain bleach as we filled the tank.
    This last time the Baja water often tasted so bad that for the first time in 10 years travelling, i resorted to bought water.
    Back to the original question, very few mechanical filters can be trusted to produce potable water from suspect supplies under all conditions.
