Question

In my sink I have a faucet that is connected to a water filter under the sink. The water from the main line comes through the double filter and then through the faucet. May I draw water through that faucet on shabbos koidesh? Thanks

Yes! It is not a Pesik Reisha, because the only part of the filtering that is his Koach (direct action) is the first water that comes out, and it is not every cupful of water having bugs or dirt in it. Sometimes there are and other times not. AA
