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

depends on a few things as I found out when I was building Reverse osmosis filters for saltwater fish tanks. are the 1 and 0,5 micron absolute or nominal? and is the carbon a "carbon block" filter or just a "carbon" filter
an absolute filter will block 99.9% of particles above its rating whereas nominal will only block about 80% of the particles above their rating.
for the carbon. A carbon block is made by grinding carbon into very fine powder then compressing it into a block and will provide much greater filtration than a granular carbon filter, but the granular will provide higher flow at a cost of filtration.
