How long do you leave water in your fresh water tank?

[Kevin D Pem]

Y'all remember drinking out of the garden hose? There are thoughts that allowing "some" impurities into your body strengthens one's immune system. I'm still a little finicky in that regard.

Yup, I remember. I don't much care what is there by nature. Rather I am more concerned about what is put there by the water processors. Remember the largest organ of your body is the skin, so the poisons they put in the water are consumed via the skin.

My opinion is mostly dismissed here, guess people don't think I do my due diligence! What I suggest is you pull up the material data sheets for the chemicals you know are put in the water and learn the filters you need to use to make your water safe. Then quit worrying about what is in the water naturally.

What you are going to find, is you need to read the labels just to make sure they didn't add these harmful chemicals to your bottled water.

Have a wonderful day and do your research before your bone density tests prove to you what I am telling you!

We have been very happy with the testing results to remove some of the man made chemicals in a house installed system using filters from Enpress:

E3-M PIONEER Filtration

Wish we could have these filters in the RV. In the RV we use a dual filter big blue style system with the final filter at 1 micron - it does restrict flow a bit but when there isn’t enough pressure we just let it slowly fill the fresh water tank and then use the fresh water tank as our source.

I didn't see bone char filters on their site. That's the filter most needed for bone density issues.

I just saw this today. Yikes! FWIW, I ONLY use bottled water for any consuming use.

That was brought up before. It was the result of using non-sterile water in a Net-poti; directly against the instructions and cautions with nasal rinses.

We also travel with full tanks when we leave the brick and mortar as we know the quality of that water. It is also filtered twice going in and again at the point of use. We use our water for all of our needs. I know it might scare people but yes, we drink the water from our refrigerators filtered water and ice dispenser. We do carry bottled water as well.

Older article however it wars never proven that this had anything to do with the RVs on board water

Just came back from our first camping trip of the season, it was only for four days? Naturally before I left I put some fresh water in the tank, drained it and filled it up. I always carry a full tank of fresh water just in case. Naturally we used the fresh water tank for the bathroom use and clean ups but that is about it. When we got to our camping destination I switch over to city water.

When we return home I still have almost a full tank of water almost 80 gallons. My question is do you guys just drain the water out or leave it in the tank for a while? Lets say your next trip is in two weeks? leave in or drain? I always drain and start fresh, but it seems like a waste of water. Can your water become contaminated in just a week or two in your tank without using it?

We, too, carry some water while traveling, but not a full tank. That's a lot of weight and staring on the tank. 10-15 gallons is plenty for flushing along the way.
I'll drain it if not going to be using it for a couple of months ths.

We use ours as well. Use and refill monthly if parked for a while.

Three filters, water softener, then whole house filter on the way in - sanitize once a year. No problems.
