We recommend using filtered drinking water with this unit.

Using tap water can wildly vary depending on where you live. Some is potable and pretty safe, other places have water that is too toxic to drink. 
Consider that any impurities in the source water will be present in the cubes. We have decent tap water where this is primarily used but still put filtered water through the machine. It'll lower the chance of impurities creating mold or other toxic reactions in your ice maker. 
Manual recommends distilled water as well.
