Potable water filtration system

[Gardner Yeaw]

Leroy,
I grew up on the same stuff. My grandmother had a hand pump outside
for drinking water and the rest came through a 1/4 mile hose from a
spring on the hillside. That's not the water or the plumbing I want
to filter. I am thinking about a privately maintained distribution
system that hundreds of people hook up to every year.

Anyway, all I really wanted to know what system others were using.

Thanksgiving I returned to my childhood home to visit with my mom. I
drank, bathed in and cooked with the very same untreated, unfiltered
well water that I grew up drinking and my mom has used for about 68
years. She in 91 now God bless her. Makes it hard to get excited
about filters these days.

because it should be the same quality as the source unless there is
something in that Camping World garden hose that attaches the coach
to the source. The hose is the only variable I a can identify.

treated water, that's another story.

Hope all is well in GA

filtration system in your home? Probably not. I know I don't. I'd bet
you wouldn't think twice about going to Rio for a month, returning
and making a cup of coffee out of house water that had been stagnant
in those pipes while you were gone. (assuming there wasn't a toilet
float leak) Most of us use commercial chlorinated water systems for
water. If your lines are clean in the bus I'd bet the water in the
bus is the same quality as in your home. Actually I drink the water
that is pumped through my bus. Haven't had any problems.
