Never had issues with our setup…

Three stage filter (5 micron sediment, carbon block, anti viral / microbial) followed by the water softener, then whole house filter.

Sanitized once a year and the filters were good for about 2k gallons.

Used water for drinking, ice, etc for the 4 years we full timed and various water sources - no problems.
What exactly did the whole house filter do to improve things after going thru that system? The water was worn out by that time.....lol. I have a Clearsource system but have not used it. I also do not drink the water and probably sanitize more then most.
 
What is most concerning in public water supplies today is what's not being tested for.

The least expensive method for safe water consists of ozone bubbling followed by carbon block filtering.

It is easily scaled up for whole house use. And produces water of a quality unmatched by any other current filtering methods in use today.
I would have to tow another trailer to ozone bubble, prefilter, filter, carbon block, reverse osmose it, and then uv radiate it. For gods sake just buy a bottle of water. Get the Poland Springs from Western Maine, probably loaded with Radon but something is going to kill you someday.

Awh come on! You know I have no intention of dyeing.

Anyhow the only thing you need as far as equipment goes is a tube, a bubble stone, an ozone generator, and the holding tank your RV came with.

If you use that tank you never need to sterilize the tank because the ozone does the job every time you run the system.

Add the carbon filter to remove dead organisms, and you have a system.

Bottled water smells like plastic because of the micro-plastics dissolved in the water.

The O3(ozone) is absorbed in the water so no worries about rubber deterioration, or health concerns.

Ozone generators do have a working life, but dollar to dollar, bottled water is far more expensive. And we are talking a whole house system (carbon filter only for the drinking water circuit), that has you showering in quality water as well.
