How safe is to drink Tap water in kuwait (with or without filter)

Hi
The water using filter should be ok. Been doing it for years.

The water sources in the GCC generally are:

Surface water i.e. linked to rainfall. Negligible
Groundwater through shallow renewable or deep non renewable aquifiers.  It is brackish in nature
Desalination from sea water
Treated waste water
Cloud seeding to build reserves in surface and ground water (UAE)

Coming to Kuwait, their basic source is desalination so the water is generally safe however, by the time it gets to your home, it has been stored in overhead or underground tanks in the heat or in some cases, been inadvertently mixed with other sources to cover gaps.  The consistency can't be guaranteed always. Hence, the recommendation is to use a water filter at home and not to drink out of the tap.
