My comment

Without reading the linked article, my gut feeling was no as viable monitoring would not be able to detect any contamination issues in the water lines. Additionally, a filter failure in a contaminated system could be a tad disastrous. I’d rather assure the quality of a system through monitoring, rather than a slap on filter.

Reading the article, I’d forgotten about endotoxin risk.
