Anyone here usiing 12 volt UV Water filter
Hi, I'm looking for feedback on installing a 12 volt UV water filtration system in my B. I am seeking advice on brands anyone may be using and if you installed using a flow switch how what hardware...

Alas.
Compared to Ozone treatment, UV is a weak sister. Ozonation kills 100% of bacteria, virus, and plants and animal one-cells. Giardia and dysentery pathogens are subjected to 100x overkill conditions. Note the x (times) versus a % (percent). Mold, algae and other living stuff gets dead dead dead.
Bottled water down here is GUARANTEED to remain sterile for 12 months if ozonated. UV water carries no guarantee at all.
Several decades ago I cut my foot in Cabo San Lucas. Despite triple action antibiotic after proper first aid, it became infected. The Canadian owners of the most popular water bottling plant invited me to dribble freshly ozonated water over the cut. The results were dramatic.
But the ozone process demands extremely high voltage. And that makes the system vulnerable.
Down here contamination with heavy metals (mining) makes thorough reverse osmosis mandatory. And if you think home grade reverse osmosis systems filter as good as say a salt water R/O system you have another think coming.
How many Playtoy R/O filter manufacturers brag about exact performance in numbers about heavy metals reduction? Before and after? It takes PRESSURE and lots of it to force water through a decent R/O membrane. Playtoy systems pretend they filter water when in fact they only SCREEN it.
