Hello,
I am thinking about a modification on my water setup aboard.
First thing, I am cruising only in fresh water at this time (rivers and lakes).
I was thinking to modify my setup in order to have dual source for water:
1. clean from tanks with 3 stage filtration for cooking and things like washing your teeth.
2. add a source from raw water, with filtration, to get water "clean" enough to use it for shower, hand wash, dishes and this kind of usage. I could also use the same source for washdown on the deck etc.
I would have 2 separate pumps, 2 separate filter setup, and on the sinks 2 separate faucet raw filtered/clean water.
I would also have valves that could allow me to choose to use clean water from tank for everything in case I need it (I can see many case where I would not want to use raw filtered water, like clogged filters, too dirty water, or even to flush the lines).
The setup would be pretty easy as I have access to run new lines, and enough space to put the needed valves, filters and manifold.
What do you think about it? Any input or comment will be appreciated.
Thank you.
