As it is now Winter and we're not camping (insert sad face) I have been researching other things to add to our Blog.
One thing I've never paid much attention to was our water filtration....until now.
We didn't think about the quality of our water while camping because we installed what most RV campers do.... a Camco water filter. However, during the PNW Regional Rally, I noticed a lot of folks were using a double filtration systems, that was sitting outside of their RV. Knowing those folks were smarter than I am, I made a mental note to look into that.
As I looked into it, I discovered the Camco filters we've been using (1 per season) wasn't doing the job as much as we thought. Our sense of security with our water was washed away!! Sure, sediments over 100-microns were being filtered out with the Camco filter....but it wasn't removing the harmful contaminants such as Silt, Bacteria and Giardia. We discovered through our research that ClearSource is good solution to actually removes harmful contaminants from the water going into our RV.
So, if you have a few minutes and want read the Blog about this...click here. If you just want to relax and watch the video...click here.
Note...this is not a low cost solution upfront. The initial purchase, which includes 2 filters is $275. Then after 2,000 gallons, you can purchase a 2-pack of filters for $30.
