Potable water filtration system
I drink bottle water, period. Camp ground water? I don't think so, showering
is a little unsettling in some places. For the record, I was raised on well water, sand point, maybe 40' deep. Answers a lot of questions about me for many people.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Something that cleans out chemicals and other other unwanted by- products of civilization is what I am aiming for.
