Bus Water

[LarryB]

I have seen many using various forms of water softeners for coach water supply. We do not like the feel or the taste of softened water and I was thinking of a product called "E Z Water" for the coach. We spend considerable time in the desert south west and need something to help improve the quality of that water for both humans and bus water system.

Is there anyone in the group that uses this system in their home or Bus?

I have a two stage softner, but after that I have the culligan water purifying 3 filter sstem. That goes strait to the refer ice and water tap.

Gary do you get clear ice from your system?

[garyde]

No, somewhere in between clear and white.

I added a RO water unit like Gary did when I changed refrigerators. It has been excellent. We waste about 4 or 5 gallons for every 1 gallon of pure water we produce, but that has not had an affect on us. The system now allows us to use water from our tank for ice and drinking and cooking, something we would never do despite sanitizing the fresh water holding holding tank and water system about twice a year.

For those who dry camp and do not want to waste water, the discharge from the RO unit can be returned to the holding tank.

Jon, when you say waste 4/5 for every 1, you mean from your grey tank it takes about 6 gals to make 1?

When you say the system allows you to use your tank, do you mean fresh or grey?

I'm still learning about RO, and have many questions, as usual. What is the name of the system you have and where did you get it? If I understand correctly and you are recycling your grey water through your RO, how are you getting it from grey to RO with enough pressure? I just purchased a new MAC pump, and was thinking about using that for the purpose of getting water to the RO with sufficent pressure.
