Filters introduce additional risk because they themselves can become dirty (or even contaminated). Looking inside a well-used water filter can be a horrifying experience.
Personally, I filter all water because I’m an obsessive but I’ve come to realise that I’m probably increasing the likelihood of exposure to something not-good — because now I have complete responsibility for maintaining and cleaning my filtering, no big government machine keeping my water clean, just me and my human negligence.
There are never ending risks to everything we do, be mindful you don’t get caught up in trying to make everything perfectly safe — especially if you have children, the paranoia and worry is more transmissible than whatever is in your water.

A belt and suspenders approach alleviates this a bit, have the input into your system be processed municipal water.
