I’ve has water that was recycled from sewage. It was the crispest, cleanest water I’ve ever tasted.

It went through multiple stages of treatment to screen, sterilize, and filter all contaminants out. Only a touch of minerals were added at the end to make it drinkable.

If you think about it, all water on Earth has been through a body at least once in the past billions of years.

If it’s been through a series of chlorination and reverse osmosis, it should have no microorganisms

Theoretically yes but unless you religiously sanitize the system, there will be a small microbial load. I used to test DI water systems and unless the ports were sprayed with alcohol and kept closed, you could isolate bacteria. I also had issues with a chorine resistant biofilm that formed in an isolated section of piping that caused contamination.
