I have a water filter hooked up to a faucet that comes straight from the street, not from the cistern, the issue with this is, there is never any water pressure, I was wondering, is it safe to connect the filter to the cistern, is cistern water any worse than water off the street?

Yes the cistern water is worse than the one that comes from the street if you don't fallow the procedures of cistern maintenance...
Do you empty and clean your cistern at least three times a year???
Do you apply Clorox to the water in order to keep it from germs???
Etc, Etc.

It's cleaned twice a year, and bleach is added every month.
Ok, barring hooking up the filter to the cistern, I would need a small pump to get the water through the filter, does anyone have any recommendations for a small pump that runs on 110v something that I can just pull out when I need water from the filter.
That's the system I have set up for the house, except a lot larger, and why do you recommend that I don't drink water filtered at home? I can't realistically see the water sold for 50 pesos for 5 gallons being any better.
