Are Water Filters a Major Concern

After years of filtering every drop of water I finally went with a under the counter filter for the kitchen cold water. That takes care of all of the water we use for cooking and drinking. I use bottled water in the bathroom for brushing teeth. The rest, I don't filter.

This is what I have evolved to also. Remember each filter that you add will produce back pressure and slow the filling process. I traveled with a guy that had 3 filters it took forever to fill his 100 gal tank while a line of people were waiting to fill and dump. Also if you stay at more remote CG's and try to use a "water thief" to fill, it will blow up like a balloon due to back pressure. I have used a filter while staying at lakes in Canada where the water is drawn from and they can clog up in a week or so, but have not had any problems with city water in any of the states you mentioned. But I'm old and still drink from and fill my tanks when home with a green garden hose.
