Filter for beach water

We always carry bottled water for consuming but we could not even bathe in this water it was so bad. We used tank water for bathing but of course it is limited in supply.

It was not a campground. It was a private lot set up for rv. The water was well water. Neighboring properties have the same issues. Seems like they just get used to it. This is at Edisto Beach, SC.

X 2 for the RO system.

A Reverse Osmosis filter is the only water filter I've found to work reliably and remove the smell and sour taste. Not cheap and not RV friendly for anything other than drinking water since the filtration rate is too slow for everyday use. Bottled water (by the gallon) from those vending machine kiosks is RO water and is an economical drinking water option.

AS a kid we lived north of Albany Ga for a few months. Strong sulphur smell in several wells in the area. I guess you eventually get used to it, but I sure didn't. This was back before bottled water and my mom would put in a couple gallons from N Georgia when we would come home to visit.

Exactly the reason we bring our own. Most of the time we use the camp water but from time to time you get bad water, or they have to cut the water off for maintenance.

BTW what campground, what beach?

Did you talk to management? Their water system could be broken. What's the water taste like at restaurant across the street?

The issue with smaller 10" filters is that they get saturated with contaminates quickly and bring water flow down to low GPM on an already slow system. You may want to try a pairing of 2 - 20inch filters, one with a cheaper, spun weave, higher micron sediment filter - this one is largely sacrificial catching most of the sediment and dissolved solids, and then a second filter of catalytic carbon. Catalytic carbon - while more expensive than charcoal- filters more contaminates than activated carbon (charcoal). Catalytic carbon is usually composed of pulverized coconut shells. At the beach you deal with a lot of Sulphur and tannins (not to mention all the lovely chemicals everything up river from the ocean the factories are kind enough to dump in the rivers - look up Gen X contamination) in the water and it's worse when rainfall amounts are lower - as it's been very dry on the lower east coast lately and thus contaminates are concentrated in the water sources and aquifers.

I always carry enough bottled water for a drinking supply for a few days with me. And always leave home with a full fresh tank for toilets and showers....which comes from a municipal source that I trust.

I don't drink water from unknown wells, which usually are the ones that smell, and try not to drink from my own tank either even though I keep it clean and fresh.

While the odds of something bad happening might be relatively low, if it does happen it might be VERY BAD. Not worth the risk in my opinion.

Wee ran into the same problem in south Georgia, Florida and La.
We used two filters a 5 micron charcoal that ill get just about everything including sulfur and iron. It stopped up in La, done it's job and a second ceramic filter was then put on and it stopped up and was covered in brown and black and yellow sulfur, iron and other minerals, to the point I couldn't clean it..
So we carry more good charcoal filters 5 micron, and smaller, when I can get them, and replace a necessary. The blue one, I don't remember the number, that CW carried that fit the 10 inch housing was good but too expensive at near 40.00 each cartridge. Don't remember where I bought the last ones but Folks here, have posted several online sources. I recommend a prefilter that is cheaper, to get most of the bad stuff, at the faucet and the second closed to RV to get the smaller micron stuff. I don't always run two filters nd right no need a second housing.
