Default Tap Water or NOT

Consider that even if the water is fine right now, you
won't be warned by the city if they decide to dump extra
stuff in the water.

Something I've never pondered much, BUT
it's time for me to purchase some more RO/DI filters and media.

Well just for kicks I tested the tap water (public water)

0 Phosphates
0 Nitrates
0 Nitrites
0 KH
6.2 pH
0 GH Very Soft

It's pretty good water.
OK except for that Chlorine stuff.

What else should I be concerned about with tap water
that RO/DI removes ? Silica, Iron etc ???

I would be nice if I didn't have to spend anymore cash on filters...

Thanks,
Chris
