No, I didn’y know that. Nor do I believe it. Particularly distilled water.

Sounds like a sales pitch repeated from someone hawking some type of water treatment system.

We have a Nikken gravity fed water system that clears out anything harmful; provides for great water anywhere; is easy to handle and store owing to its size; provides Ph 7.5 water and the water preserves all its goodness and more. Don’t have to plumb anything or worry about leaking lines etc etc. If anyone wants to take a look at this just send me an email.

Hope this doesn’t offend anyone but it is one way of getting the good news out on such a no-brainer of a water system – it just makes sense.

HELP! Does anyone know how to remove regular engine Antifreeze from a Motor Home’s Drinking Water System, short of having to change the whole system out? Or is that the only SAFE Solution to that HAZMAT? jabsr13@live.com

We use a very cheap string filter inline with our water fill hose to filter out dirt and big particles. For our drinking and cooking water we have a .5 micro ceramic filter inline with the kitchen faucet water line. The cheap filter has to be changed fairly often and does a good job of keeping the more expensive ceramic filter from plugged up prematurely. Our water always tastes great.

I wonder which sources are better than others. After all, the less you have to filter, the better.

@Thomas Bauder:

According to the CDC, filter mediums, activated carbon or otherwise, can remove Giardis and Cryptosporidium provided their micro-filter pore size is rated at 1 micron absolute size or less. At this size, these cystic bodies cannot pass through since they are larger than 1 micron.

So in combination with a 1 micron micro-filtration screen and activated carbon, you can have both cyst-free and great tasting water. And that is indeed the low-down.

As full timers we use two inline charcoal filters for all water into our RV (38′ Class A), primarily to filter out chlorine. We drink a lot of tab water every day, and we find it good tasting at most all locations across the country. Important for us is also the fact that we do not bathes in chlorinated water.

I have a Ionized water machine that has improved my health in unreal ways. True it is not real convient for motor Homes if your boondocking, but it attaches to you faucet in the Kitchen or Bathroom sitting on top of the counter and has 4 types of water. The health one removes the ACIDIC from the water, did you know bottled water, distilled, spring, drinking has almost a much as a Pepsi? There is a combo for washing your meats, fish, chicken, fruits and veggies that kills the bacteria! There is a Beauty water that you can used to wash you face and as th PH is 5.5 it is a also a toner for your skin, I spray on my body.
I have had colon cancer, plul lost all my hair that did not grow back as too my immune system. The problems I have had since my surgery 5 years ago has all but disappeared. And I have new hair growth! I’m amazed. I never drank my tap water, always used bottled water for drinking and coffee. I had them all tested all where 300 to 500 in Acidic. The Ionized water was -600 ! I have never felt so good and I’m 62. True I bought the top of the line computerized machine from Japan, but I’m so glad I did!

the low down on water filters???? Carbon filtering only for taste and orders. NOT Giardis and Cryptosporidium. They are to small. Do not be fooled RO water is the only way to get it OUT.
