Default Is tooth brushing water from hot tap safer than from cold tap?

If you use a water filter to rid the water of certain impurities like chlorine,
etc. it is better to use water from the cold water faucet which has been
filtered.

If your bathroom sink does not have a filter, don't use the water to brush your
teeth. Bring a glass of water from the kitchen faucet which has the water
filter installed.

My bathroom water smells strongly of chlorine and I never use it for anything
except washing.
