If I am reading correctly, OP was refilling fresh water tank from a river? Not a good idea IMO what with the possible bacteria in the river water.
OP - I was thinking the same thing. I did see the your reply to Wind River's point and like the idea of using a purifier or boiling when truly boondocking.
But what about the bacteria fouling the FW tank which is the point that was being made above? Cooking and drinking is fine but showers take water from the FW tank so unless you are running river water to an outside shower or using a chemical or composting toilet, the FW tank is being filled with the river water. Care to expand on that aspect? :h
Every year we sanitize the fresh water tank (FW) at least once, including our water containers; so I guess any bacteria is less than a year old when I take a shower.
When I take a shower the bacteria must really have fun mixing with their old friends or maybe their old friends mutated and they kill each other?
ON the serious side, my wife a retired hosp building manger has lunch with her friend and hosp "infectious control" person about once a month. Last Friday wife came home and got all updated on our newest worry http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2023287928_measlesseattlexml.html
BTW when daughter became a nurse every time she sneezed she knew she had something fatal.
