Amazon user? Then please enter Amazon through my virtual storefront it doesn't cost you anything extra although i do get a little commision and helps me out massively thank you www.amazon.co.uk/shop/melsvanworld
over a period of time , it'll be worth it . works out at £1.87.5 a week for a £45 filter , £175 the kit .proved it works so all good
It’s honestly such a difference in taste❤
Maybe time to flush out your storage tank as well. Interesting to see the change of cartridge I’ve been waiting to see what it would look like.
Thank you Mel we are doing a Luton van after the new year i have done & sold a VW Transporter, Sprinter Van we have now got a sprinter but not going to do that up as we just have a bed stove & some bit's in as i want to save the cash to do a Luton van
Sounds great!👍
Thanks for the update Mel, did wonder how you were getting along with.
All good 👍
Confused. I used aquapure. Uses same filter. Comes with mesh scrub pad so when flow decreases you remove filter and scrub layer off filter. Last 2 years in high use sink at camp. If you hit it yes sure is fragile....oops. in your case you could go a long time with one filter cleaning regularly....curious not Wednesday question.....
Excellent….been waiting for this! 👍
Mel great blog as always to change the subject - I watch quite a lot of motorhomes blogs of others has well has yours, why not put a false roof over the vans like the safari land rover then your solo panels over that, just an idea I've never heard of it being done???? food for thought Mel regards Stan
Great video Mel, I'm a subscriber and I don't even have a van but I love watching you in your cosy home. I think it's because you are such a likeable guy, one of life's winners 👍
Thanks so much that’s really kind of you 👍🤓👍
Mel, at 4:40 you pulled out a fire blanket that was sort of buried in the cabinet back area , is there a way to velcro that blanket to the door backing instead, in between those two horizontal slats on the door itself, so it's a bit more accessible when seconds count you could just open the larger lower door and there's the fire blanket ready at hand?
It has a spot already on the wall by the wood burner. He only had it in the cupboard that day for cleaning 👍🏻
Great stuff mate,,
I will be getting a kit for sure,,
Cheers for making this vlog.
No problem 👍🤓👍
Should have lined up the two filters side by side!
Great video, as always. Sweet dreams from New Zealand (it's way past my bed time)
Good night👍🙃👍
It would good to see more details on their website showing the taps fitted into houses too, unless they are only looking at van use
They will be working on images/concepts on their website - it really is just launching now, so more will be updated etc as they establish their online profile ❤
It’s a multi use tap. They weren’t aiming it at Vanlife. Only due to the wonderful Keith (who’s their employee) approached us and said ‘I think this is a great product for vanlifers’ and here we are!
Hi Mel. You should have fitted the water tank filler pipe so as the kitchen tap ran directly into it tben you wouldn't have to keep using a bottle to fill the tank.
Sorry couldn't resist it.😂😂
Haha 😂
😂60 litres through tha hole 🕳️ 😮be there a long time 🤷♂️
Hi Mel, would of been interesting to break the old cartridge and take a look inside. Great vids btw
It’s planned 😊❤😂
Hi bud been looking forward to the update on this filter water. Think it’s a great piece of kit and the water so
clean 😊 ashame there payment options aren’t great as if they did PayPal I can split the payment over three months like I did for the eco flow. Will be something il definitely invest in thanks to your video and review after 6 months bud. Always inspiring videos bud. I love your Tiffany lamp such a lovely place for it 😊
Hope your both well keep safe and have a relaxing Sunday 🙏☺️💙
Nice video Mel, Could I ask what are the connections on the water filter you need to connect to?
Hi Mel been waiting for this video love the look of this system brilliant and it looks so simple well done for your mate for coming up with this really appreciate it.
Stay safe catcha later 👌👍😎
Glad you enjoyed it 👍🤓👍
Cool stuff
Thank you 😊
I really like the look of that water tap and filter set, it looks very neat bit of kit. I wonder if it would improve/remove the taste of water with Flouride added? I'm one of those weird people who get migraines from Flouride and my local council is going to add it to the water 😞 Thinking a filter like that would be better than having to buy bottled water for tea and cooking etc.
It removes the floride which is why I love it so much 😀👍🏻💚
great video and chlorinating tablets great way of keeping water tank fresh
Thank you 🙏
Yeah we use them for our tank 👍🏻💚🙏🏻
Good review and product mel take care m8😉🙏🙏🙏😁
Thanks, you too!
hi Mel cracking video as always I was wondering which pump you use with the filter setup 🤔 I've had a look on your Amazon link and you have a few pumps on there. Cheers mate 👍
Hi Mel
Great video.
Do they do a matching tap for hot water?
Thanks
If you wanted two taps one for cold, one for hot. I’d just choose another colour. They do red and grey.
At the moment this is the only tap option 👍🏻
Yes they do
Hi Mel, Great video. Didnt you have a video where you fitted the filter or am i misremembering? Thanks
Yes I did
Hi Mel, Great vid as per usual. Just me being thick but does it only do cold water?
It’s not a mixer tap, so if you wanted a hot tap too, you’d have to buy a second tap and connect to your hot water source. Mel only has a cold feed in our van. We use the kettle to get hot water 👍🏻
Good question and yes why would you want warm drinking water
Hi Mel, a cartridge change every six months? I would have thought it was dependant on how many litres of water has passed through the filter, two people living in a van will use more water than a single user.👍
Triflow say no matter how many people are using it - 6 months is what they recommend after all their testing 👍🏻.
Good question!
Hi Mel great video m8 not sure if you remember I asked you about your WiFi system and what you use , iv been using ee put was quite expensive so iv been trying 1p mobile which uses ee network great coverage and there data packages are a alot cheaper than ee thanks chris & sheila
Mel made a video all about his Wifi system. Have a look through the videos on Mels channel. We use EE, best coverage and stronger signal wherever we are. For us we think it’s a great price needing internet for our channels and work 👍🏻💚
Looks good... Does the tap have a switch in it to operate the pump ?
No switch on the tap. It’s just a default tap. Mel has a switch on his panel to power the water pump 👍🏻
No the pump has its own pressure switch
Thanks for the video Mel. I reckon that the residu on the filter is partly 6 months worth of bacteria blocked by the nanopores of the filter, likely dead because you used chlorine tablets but some might be alive and form what is called a biofilm. Sorry, I used to work on biofilm... This is the reason I as I have use a ceramic filter in my van. I use a Doulton system, do you have any idea how the trifow system would compare to it? I also wonder if you noticed any decrease in water flow after installing the filter (that would be of course before you reduced the flow intentionally). The water flow for cold water will s really low, compared to the hot (not going through the filter). What water pump are you using? Sorry, it is not a short question, maybe your answer will be short.
That’s interesting thank you 🙏
A great bit of kit for sure, well worth it.
Love you’re Artdeco light, where did you find that?
It was from a house clearance
Can the filter be integrated into existing system using own tap or does it all have to be bought and fitted as one? Also wondering if it causes any back pressure to your water pump?
Yes it can and no it won’t 👍
Quick question Mel, was wondering about the location of diesel heater exhaust in relation to drop vents for gas. Was thinking if I have max air fan on sucking air into the van I might be bringing in the exhaust fumes.
Good point 👍
Hi Mel,
Thank you for the great video.
Are you still using this triflow system or have you needed to change any of the setup (tap/pump/filtration system)?
Also, i see in your Amazon shopping list you have many pumps. Which one would you recommend please?
Superb job mate 😉👍
Scott
Yes I am still using this tap and wouldn’t hesitate to use it in the future when I build another camper the pumps in my Amazon store are all the ones I’ve used in the past and all work perfectly fine 👍🤓👍
Have you got a discount code for the tap, as they are a bit pricey 😉
I’ll see what I can do but to be honest I think they are a good price
Does it filter out the Fluoride?
Grreat video as always Mel :D
i've been thinking about utilising a Lifestraw and hopefully getting a similar result, albeit it will take some creative plumbing...
Triflow looks brilliant but way out of my budget :(
Go for it!
Great video, Mel, out of interest, did the used filter smell of anything? 👍
Not at all
Not knocking the filter but I imagine you as does everyone, inhale a lot more dirt than that filter captures.
It’s not just dirt that the filter removes, it’s fluoride, the chemicals that they put into the water and also all the hormones…tap water is lethal to the body and people keep drinking it! 😮. With anything people should be as careful as they can to protect their health ❤
I think you’re over thinking it
You’ sound Australian have u lived there?
I do have family there and Pre pandemic I spent a lot of time there I do plan on getting back there and building out a van there next year and filming the project shearing all my favourite places with my audience 👍🤓👍
