tested the blue camco filter with a TDS meter

My wife and I lived on our boat and traveled extensively all over the waters of the U.S., the Caribbean, Bahamas, and Central America. Our water came from wells, cisterns, and municipal water supplies. We only used sediment filters and we drank the water, washed, and cook with it. We have never been sick or had any ill effects from the water. We do the same with our RV and have traveled all over the U.S, and parts of Canada. We have never seen folks more obsessed with water issues than we have with RV folks. I'm not sure what everyone is so afraid will happen, but everyone has to do what makes them comfortable. For us, there are plenty of other issues to perseverate over. You have no idea or control over the filtration process of the bottling process in bottled water. Plus the pollution index for plastic bottles is off the charts. But that's really not something to be concerned about. Chuck
