The presence of the NSF designation on pipe means it was tested for compliance with one or more voluntary national standards. Common designations include NSF-pw and NSF-61, both of which mean the pipe is intended for potable water applications. Pipe displaying NSF-dwv should only be used for drain, waste or vent applications.
Found 247 uses for NSF but it is almost certainly for National Science Foundation which has tested a product and found that it is safe and does what it is suppose to do.
No. Plastic pipes (and other products) intended for use in potable water systems are required to pass extraction testing carried out by NSF International. (Previously National Sanitation Foundation) Products passing this testing are marked with a NSF-pw label and are suitable for potable water. You may also see a similar mark on food and restaurant equipment.

The answer to your question depends on what type of problems you have in your drinking water. Also, if you plan to at all water in the whole house you may buy a point-of-entry filter; for a single location in the house you may buy a point-of-use such as an undersink, a countertop, or a pitcher filter. I know Brita carries a lot of these countertop and pitcher filters. The most important thing to resolve is to know what's in your water before you buy. A Brita filter may not be good enough to remove those contaminants. Also, other bette brands may be certified by NSF International and be capable of doing the job. So, test your water, don't go for the cheapest. Home test kits are available in the market. You may also contact your local water supply to see if they have a free water test program. The, look for a third party (NSF) certified water filter. But don't surrender to pressure from salesmen. Research the best filter that will meet your drinking water need.
