Bill, assuming you regularly flush out you fresh water tank, sterilize it with bleach from time to time followed by flushing it again and you have a pair of
THM filters going to the water dispenser and ice maker (I also replumbed my Insta-Hot to get its water from the pair of THM filters), that water should be free of coliforms and safe to drink. The THM filters should be changed out at LEAST once a year. If all you are using is a water filter that is primarily to remove chlorine and particles, don't drink it. As a matter of fact, running the water from a decent supply through a 'standard' hose bib water filter may do more harm than good if you are filling your tank.
We use bottled distilled water for drinking most of the time but do use the ice, Insta-Hot and filtered water faucet for cooking and making hot tea. If the source of your water is unknown (private well at an RV Park for example) I would avoid putting it into the tank.
