Guarantee RVOne of the key items when planning a vacation with your motorhome or RV is to ensure that you have a proper supply of clean water available. If you have travelled a lot you know that the water supply in some RV parks may not be up to the standard that you are used to. Here are a few helpful hints to consider to ensure that your water supply is clean and that your water care system is maintained.
- Use a separate water hose that is designed specifically and only for drinking water. It is a good idea to color code your hoses so that they do not get mixed up
- Use a water filter for your fresh water intake to your water tank. (Note that filters will clean the water but they do not purify the water)
- If possible run your water through a purifying system
- Test the water from campground sources before using. Check for clarity and odor
- Keep a supply of bottled water in your RV or motorhome
- If the water looks clean but you are not entirely convinced that it is safe to drink or prepare food with, you may want to boil your water as a precautionary measure
- RV water pressure is designed to be 50-70 pounds per square inch. If you want to be sure of the water pressure from various resources you can hook up a water regulator at the faucet end of your hose
- If you will be spending a lot of time in your RV you may want to consider investing in a water system conditioner that can act as a purifier and water softener
