Rust, iron, sulfur, phosphates,dirt and fertilizers in farming regions are not good for your health. mixed in with those are microbes.
City water has chlorine put in it along with floride to try to kill some microbes and algae and slime.
Our well at last home had great water clean, except for lime. There were some algae from some source, most likely human interference in the chain. I had a whole house filter in the well house. It got any dirt an other things. The silver in the media killed any microbes.
The spring here is clean with a trace of lime. I'm going to get someone to runa line and maybe a pump run by the flow to bring it to the house. I will still filter it.
In the RV we've seen a lot of sulfur and iron in south Ga ,Fla and La and out west all kinds of stuff making the water too horrible to drink. If your system tells you it taste bad don't drink it. It is a primal defense system to keep you from hurting your body. yourself.
I book marked a couple, of sites, others had posted here, of 10 inch, half micron whole house filters. If you get any 10 inch whole house canister you can use just about any 10 inch filter. Ten inches in length is what it means.
They also make 20 inch models.
That stuff in Ga and Fla La and especially out west I wouldn't water my garden with it or wash the coach with it let alone drink it.
A good filter at the hose bib and one in the coach or just in the coach will save you a lot of agrrivation, maybe skin irritations, even infections, and give you good coffee an clothes without yellowing and rust stains and other things. Cheap ten minutes max probably closer to three minutes to replace a filter after you have your house lines and tank clean.
Save enough money on bottled water to buy many six packs or a steak dinner a week. Fill your own bottles and have better than the stuff you buy from LA's water system.
