As Puma says, you can filter water into then use safely from your tanks. My articles briefly outline various types of filters. Some choose rather than filtering into the tanks to have the filter under the sink for the
drinking water tap, as generally showering and washing water need not be filtered. Unless you or someone in your family has an immunity disorder, normal precautions avoid picking up gastro types of illnesses.
My easy and simple method is to only put known good quality (and palatable) water into the tanks, and when drawing from rivers and pools or even using town water which fails the 'cup of tea taste
test', to use it direct from a bucket. If short of
drinking water, boil it before drinking. We touring we found good water at
Boulia and topped up everything including cool drink bottles for extra
drinking water as we were heading to
Winton! Using the bucket method, our next fill was at
Gloucester in NSW quite some weeks later where others had told us water quality was very good. So easy to manage and no mucking around with hoses, pumps and filters. This works for us.
