I can tell you from first hand experience that that water is nothing more than softened water that ten runs through a 1 micron filter. I have seen those filters so dirty that it's a wonder water even flows through them. Some charge you a premium dollar for supposed "spring" water and the like when in fact it's often just plain tap water. I often carry my own water test kit with chlorine test strips. It's amazing that when you test some of this "quality water" for chlorine it's often 500ppm which is what is specified for most residential drinking water plants You are far better off filtering your own water so you know exactly what you are dealing with.

Besides, I know most grocery stores have these machines for refilling bottles. I wonder how often these machines are cleaned. I had some in an office and when I checked them one time they were completely unsanitary. I have a small item for checking water quality and much bottled water is worse than tap water in some places.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154511856319682113.post-30157805988229792802012-12-15T12:57:13.821-08:002012-12-15T12:57:13.821-08:00Anon,

If you read the article it simply states that I have 1 filter for incoming water to the tank and another (smaller micron filter) under the sink for drinking and cooking water.<br /><br />No one ever said you HAVE to buy or install anything on your RVs water supply.<br /><br />I've always felt, "better safe than sorry."

They are usually in the .2 to .5 micron range and ceramic.

Outside filters include a sand filter and a less then 1 micron charcoal filter. I installed a separate water spigot because the coach already had a filter under the sink. That being said we NEVER use it. It's a pain to use in that it drips from the faucet whenever we did use it. We drink from the standard faucet. Live in Mexico for 4 months of the year, have our own water delivered to an in ground tank, then pumped into the coach. The in ground tank is 1100 gallons. It gets a cup of bleach at each fill up. Have never had a "water" problem. walt66https://www.blogger.com/profile/00039447905501943572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154511856319682113.post-77344506830001653172012-12-15T08:45:36.240-08:002012-12-15T08:45:36.240-08:00You said it filters out metals, what about arsenic...You said it filters out metals, what about arsenic? Our water here in southern AZ tastes good, but we understand there are traces of arsenic from previous copper mining operations.
