Building of a house - water filter?

Question: Hello,
I am 32 years old and suffer from CF with a mild course, the lung function is nearly on normal level. I am planning the building of a houlse and I ask myself, if it makes sense to provide the water supply of the house with a special water filter, that prohibits the formation of Pseudomonas in the water circulation.
What are your thoughts on this topic? Many thanks for your constant efforts!
Best regards,
Answer: Hello,
the water supply of the house is not the problem! The siphon (sewage) is problematic.
Best regards,
