    Another detailed, informative video! So glad I found you and subscribed!
    If I could ask for anything more, it would be for an analysis of microbes before and after. There’s lots of stuff that can make you sick even in water with low chemical and sediment levels.
    I’ve seen a lot of buzz about using UV filters at the tap for drinking water. I’d be interested for your take on that.
    Thank you!

    Great video. Very informative. We use the camco filter, but we never drink water from the rv. We use it for washing dishes and shower only. After seeing your video, I will definitely try the 3 stage filter system. Thanks for the video.

    oh no, i've been using the camco full time for a year :( most scientific, objective review I've found so far. can't help but wonder what the 'gold standard' is for testing water quality.. wonder if submitting original and filtered samples to a lab would be worthwhile?

    • @TodayWeGo
      @TodayWeGo  2 роки тому +1

      The reading was identical for all of the tests, exactly 5507 ppm. That was the reason I didn’t show it, it just felt redundant.

    How can the diy set up be sealed/filtering properly when those three filters have different heights and all different gaskets/seal dimensions? Good idea, but I suspect the filter choice needs some refinement.

  • @BlainsTube
    @BlainsTube Рік тому

    I'm estimating the chunk size of your 3" XtraBlue tablet at about 1/5th of a tablet/puck.
    Clorox directions are 2 tablets/pucks per 10,000 gallons. So your 1/5th tablet should treat about 1,000 gallons.
    Both your DIY filter unit and the Clear 2o filter did some impressive filtering, by reducing the chlorine level so much.
    Good Work!

    Ok, so… how do I install that so it filters from my fresh water tank? And how often do you change each stage? Just curious. Especially on the install so it will filter water from my fresh water tank as well as city water…

  • @aangulo1
    @aangulo1 2 роки тому +1

    So the purified water you showed with 0 PPM is that almost like distilled water? What is the limit on PPM considered safe? Also, do you carry and use a water softener? Great video!!

    • @TodayWeGo
      @TodayWeGo  2 роки тому

      Exactly, RO or Reverse Osmosis is just a significantly more efficient way of purifying water. Ideally less than 500ppm is good for drinking water. The less the better. We do not currently have a water softener, but plan to one day. Thanks a bunch for watching!

    If your rv sits unused for a few months to a year, can you still use the same Clear2o filter, or would mold grow in it?
