Negative, it only gets irradiated if the water comes in contact and gets contaminated with radioactive material. Just like the cooling water that flows out of a nuclear power station is not more radioactive than the water that goes in.
Actually it technically does get irradiated by neutron activation, but the half life of Nitrogen-16 is only 7 seconds, so by the time it reaches the filters it’s already poof decayed away. (Very small amounts)

Thanks. Good to know
