Will making a home "healthier/safer" be a good value-maker?

I bought a single family home in Northern Colorado in August '17.  Two possible scenarios: renting out the basement, or renting out the entire home in the next few months.  Will probably sell in a few years.

Besides finishing the basement, we've made the house "healthier/safer" by sealing the crawl space, installing a radon extraction system, and installing a SimpliSafe alarm.  I am flirting with the idea of installing a whole-house water filter to reduce chlorine and other chemicals.  These last for about 4 years or 400,000 gallons.  My realtor says she hasn't seen that as a good value-maker.  Thoughts?
