Water treatment for RV fresh water?
What is the most effective, or at best, recommended method for treating the RV fresh water tank while in Mexico? On edit: Not concerned about drinking water as that issue has already been answered...

For a number of years I used bottled water for the main tank as we have a dedicated ice maker. When the novelty of that wore off, I learned of a system in Mexico that was installed under kitchen sinks there. A unit which includes an ultra violet light with 2 large filters. The cost of this was approx 300 CDN dollars.
I have used this system for over 8 years to fill the fresh water tank and have never had any problems associated with contaminated drinking water. The unit fits in a compartment easily. The water quality is such that we have become spoiled for taste and therefore use this system no matter where we are.
The hidden bonus when using these filters are clean plumbing with little to no build up of crud in filter screens and water valves.
