Potable water filtration system

[jwasnewski]

Howard: I haven't asked BB what they install now. I didn't get to
check mine this W/E either, ended up chasing a gremlin in the TV
system, re-polishing rear wheels after new tire installation and
other stuff. Will try to see what filter system I have next week.
I gotta get in gear and get ready for our Texas trip. Seems like I
run in low gear these days or the clock is moving faster. lol

they are using in the new 06 - 07 model buses. I think this would be
very interesting to know. Seems like Benny told me once that they
were using a unit that could be bought at Lowes or Home Depot.
