The importance of a RV portable water softener, proper water filters & RV tools. Being prepared is the key to prevent many bad things from happening & turn your fun RV experience into a nightmare.
I have triple filtered, softened water throughout my RV including my fresh water tank. All our water in the RV is pure, good tasting, safe water. And by adding the water softener, it helps prevent nasty mineral deposits building up throughout the entire RV and your appliances. All of us already has a food grade fresh water tank. It’s NOT NECESSARY to carry toxic BPA plastic water bottles, big jugs of water, perhaps a Berkey water filter or maybe an under the sink filter that you use for drinking & cooking. Some of you may think using your fresh water tank is not safe to drink or to cook with. If you want to keep practicing those methods, I mean that’s fine with me, but it’s just not necessary. All that other stuff you carry with you takes up more room, adds more weight to your RV & more plastic that ends up in the land fill. So just set your water system up right and be done with it.
NOTE: I meant to say this water softener will supply you 1,600gal. not 16,000gal. between recharges.
