Potable Water

Our new MH (new to us) has a spigot on the kitchen sink for drinking water. Though I'd never use it for drinking, I'm wondering, since it's being filtered, could I use it to cook so long as I'm boiling it? And why would they put an ice maker in the freezer? Am I being overly cautious? The filter has been changed since we purchased it.
Thanks, Linda

    Many people drink water from their onboard tank or from the campground water. If it tastes OK you don't need to be overly concerned.

    Filters either remove sediment or absorb bad flavors in the water. None of them sterilize it.

    I would cook using water from either the regular tap or the filtered tap.

    Why would you think you need to boil water that comes from a water supply that is treated AND being filtered before use? We have similar setup, drinking, coffee cooking and anything else we need water for. Don't overthink stuff.
