Why is it important to filter water from the tank or from unknown sources?

There are several reasons why it is important to filter the water from your RV or yacht tank:

1. Bacteria and germs : Even if water comes directly from the source, it can contain bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens that can be harmful to health. Germs and bacteria can accumulate, especially in water tanks that are not used for extended periods.

2. Long-term storage : In a motorhome or on a yacht, water can be stored in the tank for extended periods. This causes microorganisms to multiply and contaminate the water. A filter helps remove these, ensuring fresh, clean drinking water.

3. Taste : Filtered water often tastes significantly better because it's free of unpleasant odors and residues. If you use the water for cooking or drinking, good taste is especially important.

4. Extends the life of the water system : A filter helps prevent deposits and contaminants in the tank and pipes, which extends the life of the entire water system in the motorhome or yacht.

Overall, filtering the water ensures greater safety, better taste and a longer lifespan of the water system.
