I'd guess the vast majority of folks use bottles just for cooking and drinking. You can buy pumps that work with bottled water for ice makers.

I had a system once with 2 carbon filled bottles, salt tank and clorine tank and while I was happy with the result, I wouldn't drink the water.

Why not if it was filled?

If you go to Unidos in Santo Domingo (Bella Vista), you will find on display several inexpensive domestic options to treat water including reverse osmosis.
