iron water/ rust

Staying at a RV Resort in northern Illinois for 4 months , nice place except for the iron water, the toilet has rust streaks, we clean two to three times a week, but VERY hard to get it off, so my question is what does everyone else use.

  • If you are staying around the Chain-O-Lakes area you will need an inline filter.

    The filters normally last pretty long but the iron in N.Illinois is pretty bad. When I stayed there I had to replace it every month. But well worth it because that stuff not only makes stains in the toilet it coats all your water lines. If you don't put a filter on the stains in the plastic rv toilet and the stainless steel will be become permanent.

    They are not that expensive and you can find them in Wallmart.
