Just curious
I never drink the water from my fresh water tank even if I sanitized it with bleach , bottled water only . Anyone out there drink the water out of their fresh water tank??

Ok, since we have at least one water expert here: Are all filters created equal? I have a filter system from the RV Water Filter Store which uses a 1 micron sediment filter, and a .5 micron carbon filter. Are the ones from a cheaper source inferior?
Same question regarding residential fridge water dispenser filters. Thanks

While I wouldn’t claim to be ‘expert’ on anything, understand that activated (by high heat) carbon is very good - it derived from various substrates and will remove organic and VOC compounds as well as chlorine, so definitely great bang for the buck!!…UV light (often redundant) will take care of organic matter as well…To take it even a step further requires reverse osmosis (invent by NASA for submarines), which will purify water down the the level of an ion, meaning down to the level of a charged particle or atom…
(…FWIW, Water in it’s purist form is considered to be a solvent - for instance pure rain water (say, as it precipitates…) partially combines with atmospheric carbon dioxide to become slightly carbonic (forming carbonic acid) by the time it finally hits the ground - this, a natural earth process (even more so in highly industrial CO2 emitting areas - results in what is called ‘acid rain’…somewhat of misnomer in my view..), so by the time the water percolates into the ground and migrates to municipal treating, it etches minerals from rocks to then be reclassified as ‘hard water’ - the clean water solvent effect (both absorbent and adsorbent) is highly beneficial at resolving toxins (via exosome transfer to interstitial fluids) within the body’s cells (e.g. 70% intra-cellular water content)….)
Some folks don’t like the taste of R.O. water because it’s devoid of minerals, though many bottlers of such (‘R.O.’ processed) will reintroduce certain minerals (e.g. magnesium, calcium…) to restore a more naturally occurring flavor….Back to your question, activated carbon processed water is good (mainly in my view) because it removes chlorine which is another (though often necessary in municipal sourced water) toxin…
Though a bit off-topic:Z, hope this kinda helps shine a light on your immediate question…
