It removes some contaminants that are present in the municipal water lines.

Good. At least you're using tap instead of bottled water for the children. Bottled water is a scam from economic, health, and environmental points of view.

I drink bottled water because I like the taste, but don't drink it exclusively (and didn't drink it at all when I was in brooklyn, where I like the taste of tap). I give tap to the yingele because of the added fluoride, which you don't get in bottled (unless you buy that expensive baby water they sell at Toys R Us).
