Yes, am using a RO Water purification system close to a year and it works perfect and we feel of having a 100% purified drinking water. Need to change filter every six months. Water from tap is good to drink but due to pipeline and untidy water tanks in your apartment you might need to buy & install a Panasonic water purifier which i think is more enough to purify/fitler your tap water and start use that for drinking purposes. I have the two in my house, where I came in without knowing about Panasonic being installed as part of furnished stuff. It's better you avoid drinking botttled water, they are meant for immediate needs. Good Luck! I have an article about this, let me know your e-mail ID, so to e-mail you that stuff.
