Do you drink water out of your fresh water tank?
Yes, we do drink water from the fresh tank, but always after passing it through an under-sink filter.
I sanitize the entire water system with bleach at the beginning of each season and I have only ever filled the tank from known-good potable water systems (e.g. chlorinated municipal water or filtered residential well water). I am not at all concerned about mold or pathogens, but I do often wonder about particulates.
I'll add that I can't imagine any scenario where I would intentionally put questionable water in the TC's tank! Furthermore I would never choose to drink water from any unknown source without first doing some combination of boiling/filtering/purifying. I own a SteriPEN that I have occasionally used on hiking trips when I wasn't 100% certain about water quality.
