Welcome. Yes, it certainly is. I think that ANY water system must filter because of the drug residues, heavy metals, bacterial & other organisms present. Since the municipal water is not even tested for drug residues, I have to ask, what else are they not testing for? I am not interested in ingesting drugs that way. Chlorinated water gives me a stomach ache.
I started out with distilled in the late 70s and then lived in a place with well water. That was good for awhile. After that, I had a Nikken system but then I realized that it was not filtering the water--and it was fluoridated. Soon after that, I began using a Berkey filter, since 2010. Got very dissatisfied with their filters during 2020 and found them not very helpful. I rent and didn't want an under-the-counter system so, since then, I have a countertop R/O system. I add minerals to it before drinking it. My 15 year-old cat has always had good filtered water. :-)
No bother, friend. I use about equal parts of "40,000 Volts!" and Trace Mineral Drops to each gallon that I will drink, water the plants with, or use in cooking. I think he, Tanner, the cat, probably does but he is incredibly opinionated and loud. :-) Since I got him at 4 months old, he's had a raw food diet. Unfortunately, he had the crap vaccinated out of him by then and he was quite sick for awhile. He's 15 now and has been very healthy and energetic.

ThanQ! Sorry for the bother, but what kind of minerals do you put in your water? Your cat must love you! 😃
