Water purifiers

[Drifter]

Mrs been rummaging on Amazon looking to spend even more money and came across water purifying fluid/tablets for moho, do we need these or is it just another wallet drain we don’t need, we never used them in caravan but the water might sit longer in MH. Do you?

 

[Wellington]

No, but I don’t drink the water from the tank. I keep a couple of two litre bottles that I refill direct from the drinking water taps wherever we are staying, and replace them each trip, or every couple of weeks or so. I’m too lazy to sterilise them.

Thats pretty much what we do now, cheers

have had the " nature pure" filters but lost confidence in their supply and they cost a lot. I now use a
Pozzani Kitchen Spring RIX250 System without the facet with filtered water only directed to the kitchen cold tap for normal kitchen use and tea coffee etc. but for water to drink i.e. just water or ice cubes i use bottled water.

I use purifying tablets in out tank because we bought the moho s/h. We filter mains tap water through a Britta filter jug all the time here in Spain.

I put a Pozzani filter in the cold water feed to the shower/toilet room sink, use it to fill up bottles to drink from.

Also use the Pozzani 3m filter directly after our pump. We drink the water and have never had a problem.

Our new rig has a separate drinking water tap. How does that work then?!

 

[xsparks]

Like mine it's probably the only tap that is filtered.

There is probably a filter under the worktop somewhere. If you don't know when it was last changed I would get a new one.

I always carry a packet of sterilising tablets but we don't use them routinely. But on our current trip in Corsica we have had iffy water three times. Twice with bits floating in it and once it just tasted foul. In Provence we once took on water with leaves in it.

I also use the tablets to keep the water pipes clean when the van is not being used. I do this by emptying the tank then filling it with about 10 litres of water with the tablets in it, usually two as one does five litres. Then run the taps until you can taste the sterilised stuff is coming through. I do it for both hot and cold.

Find the filter, it might be a barrier filter, which means as long as the water gets through it is OK, but it might use 'activated' ingredients if that is the case you should get a new filter because these filters, if out of date, can harbour more bugs that the water you are filtering

 

[Wellington]

I’ll get it checked. A bit of googling suggests that the filters only work in small bore taps, which is why you get separate drinking ones.

 

[David and Sally]

We use Elsin when filling the water tank and Brita filtered water for drinking.

 

[Minxy]

We always drink the water from the tank, usually boiled for drinks etc, but occasionally cold. I'm still alive!

Crumbs! we never treat our water and drink it hot or cold .......... never had an issue ..... ever!

It's just too easy to over worry these things. Potable water has chlorine it to keep it safe.

Is that the case in ALL countries though?

i fitted a filter after filling up from a site tap, clearly marked Potable water! in France that was so foul we had to dump the lot and rinse the tank and pipes.
that was the trigger to fit a filter.

A well organised site i may add.

well it was in the 17 we visited
