Hello, hello. hello. I've noticed water filtration systems at the local supermarket and wondered about them after having read comments on the forums about the variation in water quality on the road, including water not recommended for drinking. Some GNs buy bottled water for drinking but have said it can be quite expensive in areas where water is relatively scarce. Sooooooo, does anyone use a water purifier/filter to turn suspect water into drinkable quality? I imagine it would be much cheaper than bottled even though the purifiers can be quite expensive to begin with. It would also mean being able to obtain drinkable quality anywhere anytime.

Hey Gary we buy these off ebay $45 + postage $13 and they work fine for us.

Ideal for Caravans & Campers

or use as a portable filter around the house.

New high flow AIC-K with brass quick connection hose fittings.

Great for filling your caravan tank or in-line from tap.

New 5 Micron Activated Carbon filter with KDF media.

 Activated Carbon removes Chlorine, Bad Taste & Odours, Dirt, Rust, Algae & Sediment and the KDF helps neutralises Chlorine and reduces the chance of bacteria growth in the filter extending the life of the filter.

For Clean and Great Tasting Water

62mm x 335mm including brass fittings

Can handle up to 125psi mains pressure

(most mains pressures are about 80--90 psi)

Service life of 6000 litres or 12 months

Flow rate up to 20 Lpm so it can be used on vans with showers.

(the slower water is filtered the longer the contact time in the filter which will remove the highest level of contaminates)

Thanks for the info. One quickie - do all the places where you normally fill your tank have regular taps that take standard hose fittings?

 Gary, I found that through the NT and parts of Qld that the taps are smaller IE NSW taps a re 32mm and NT & Qld are 25mm. I use the click on adaptors.

 we carry a water distiller available on ebay and have never had a problem with bad water work a treat
