Water Filters
Posted by Tradewinds Coach & Marine on July 31, 2015 at 9:20 amFor those that are squeemish – please take this as your warning to shield your eyes ….
Make sure to keep your water filters changed on a regular basis. This is the water that is going in your bus!!

P. S. – couldn’t figure out how to rotate the picture, but you get the idea

How often are you talking about changing the filters? 3 months? 6 months? Year?
Thanks,
Mark

I look at the color, they look dirty I change them. I change them about once a month, if I am on the road if at home never. -
Tom before I start a trip I replace all the filter and the RO system filters. Thereafter the filters are replaced at least once a month if not more than once a month. Fulter are cheap I buy ours from homedepot or ACE. Even after all these changes to the filters Sue will not drink any water unless its bottled. Go figure!!!!! We keep water companies in business. -
about drinking tap water!
I have been drinking unfiltered tap water from a well for close to 20 years and single filter fridge water for about as long.
Do I look like it has done any harm to me in any ways?

Cheers,
Ronald

We use Ronald’s photo in our advertisements to reflect what the average PC member looks like. Could that be why our membership numbers seem to have stalled?

I have found from DripWorks.com, an irrigation supplier, a filter to put in front of all the filters in the coach. The FAM34200 has a valve at the bottom that can be opened to flush the sediment out clearing the filter without replacing the screen each time. Keeps the big sediment out of the onboard filters.

where do you find the filters at home depot , I took mine old filter in there and they looked at me like i was from mars…… does any one have the part number for the filter?

My filter housing looks like the one shown in the original post and I can get cartridges at HD or Lowe’s. If you have an unusual size or type you might consider just replacing the entire unit so you can use standard filters.
But in addition to keeping clean filters I also sanitize the system at least twice a year by adding about 2 cups of Chlorox to a nearly full tank, running that water through all plumbing fixtures until I clearly smell the chlorine at each one, letting it sit for an hour or so. Then I drain the tank completely along with the HW tank, refill with fresh water, and run water through the system to flush out the chlorine treated water from the piping and devices.
And then I avoid drinking the water, but instead drink beer.
