All the filters in that link are for taste and odor only. My son did the testing that led to the EPA tests and subsequent regulations. At that time Boeing also confirmed their planes only had water filters for taste and odor, not bacteria and other contaminates.

Someone asked whether we clean our home water pipes. The difference is our home pipes don’t get filled with water from developing nations as airplane tanks do.
