For the most part, away from some of the big blue cities anyway, municipal drinking water. The stuff the city pipes to your house. Is perfectly safe, it is frequently tested for 126+ pollutants. The hardness is adjusted. The water is filtered and chlorinated. Chlorine levels are frequently checked in the pipes far from the treatment plant. And the USEPA and state environmental (again most of them) agencies watch this very closely. The lab workers and the guys running the plant are certified individually and are required to take classes to keep up with reg changes. The water labs are required to pass blind samples and the labs are physically inspected by on site inspection teams. They also go over all the required paperwork and it is a bunch of paper.
How do I know this? I was a Lab Technical Director that went thru all this. The books of regulations that we had to follow in minute detail were when stacked up are about 18 inches high. And we had to watch the Federal Register for any rule changes.
How much of this happens with your RO unit???
