.....Regarding the "potable water" label comment, the term is used to imply that the water in the tank may not be filtered and if the water sits for long periods of time in your tank it may not be safe to drink. I think these are just to make you conscious of your water source. You should use a very good filtration system for either to improve the water quality, but if water sits in the fresh water tank for some time there may some level of concern you might want to think about.....
Not so much.

Potable:
pronounced poe-tuh-buhl
–adjective 1. fit or suitable for drinking: potable water.

–noun 2. Usually, potables. drinkable liquids; beverages.


That is why at dump stations they usually have a sign on the faucet that says, Non-potable water, so you don't use that hose to fill your tanks, as the hose and immediate area is most likely contaminated with nasty germs.
