Potable water filtration system

[Leroy Eckert]

Howard:
You have a good point. I remember the RATS broken pipe. I did not hook up
water at RATS. Typically, I am full of water when I pull camp at home base and
run off of the pump. As you do I typically turn on the hose and take a look
before I hook up. I guess you are correct, it ain't a perfect world.

Leroy,
I live in the country and also have unfiltered well water but I have mine
check by the county health dept. regularly. I know I have a safe water source at
home.
When camping I do not know what Joe Blow Campground operator is supplying me.
Remember the water problem at the Rats Rally, was the lines flushed before we
were hooked back up. I unhooked my hose and when it came back on line I turned
on the spigot and muddy wated came out. At the RIV how long had the water been
sitting in the lines when everyone hooked up. In a perfect world everyone would
do the right thing. But the attitude in most cases is don't worry they will be
gone in a day or two.

Just a little story about this water business then I'll be quiet.
I was raised on untreated, unfiltered well water. Over 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.

Hey Howard:
I think there is a filter back by the bed that BB or Royale installed. At
least that is what my book says. Honestly, I've never paid any attention to it
and do not know what it does, if anything.
I do not spend my idle time worrying about coach water quality 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.
Sometimes marketing techniques can cause people to buy products that are not
needed. If you are attached to a source other than treated water, that's another
story.

That just my theory. Never had any problems in approx 3 years. Hope all is
well in GA

Leroy,
Have you installed a water filtration system on your BB? If so what?

Gardner:
I guess I was asking in some goofy way if you have the same 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.

Leroy,
It's not only the bugs, it's the other junk in the water.
Something that cleans out chemicals and other other unwanted by-
products of civilization is what I am aiming for.
