water filters

G'day
Plenty to choose from here and not expensive, I bought one, they are very strong and good quality.
The one I bought can have a hose attached "in" and another hose "out" so I can make sure the water going into the holding tank is filtered or I can attach it to the mains supply ensuring the water going through the pipes is of a good filtered drinking quality.
I got the 1 micron silver filter (40 microns = thickness of a a human hair & silver kills stuff)
Water filters

At the sink I also have a bench filter 0.2 micron filter (nothing nasty gets though that one) just to be sure. It probaly is not needed, but things can grow in the holding tank so we wash salad stuffs and drink water from this filter and we haven't spent the day on a dunny yet!

I thought it would be a pain being bench top but we just throw it in the sink when we are moving so it is easier than I thought it would be.

Everone including the dog should have their tank water filtered, Good luck!

Hi Peter

Yes I have a silver activated carbon water filter that I attach to the hose everytime I fill up the water tanks. I also have a proper drinking water hose as your average garden hose leaves a taste.

I posted a forum entry on this a while back and it seems a lot of people do the same thing. See post 78602

I have also in the past prior to the filter had some bad water from a water tank in a country town. Ended up with lots of black floaty things in the water. I used bi-carb soda mix in the tank and then flushed it about 3 times. Leaving it in there for a day or so. There are others who have used milton baby bottle cleaner, or that stuff used for cleaning beer bottles when home brewing. All seem to work well.

About the silver activated carbon filter - they are good but not perfect. Depends on what sort of water you will be using. Have a read of this forum where a guy called Captain had some really good information. Read post 89547
