We have been having an issue with calcium in our shower and in our sinks. That stuff is hard to get off once its stuck on there, and I don’t really like the idea that I am having a calcium shower. Lol
Also, Tyler still didn’t like the taste from the water going through the first small filter outside and Britta filer so we were buying him water bottles. (Sorry earth)
We looked up some of the popular water filtration systems and what they cost.
Some were upwards of $400!
Tyler and I knew there had to be a way to make our own. Then we came across one of the videos by Keep Your Day Dream. They had showed one of their friends travel trailer and a bunch of the modifications that he had done. He showed his own filtration system and that he just bought all the necessary items at the hardware store.
We went to Lowes but we didn’t follow any type of list we just kind of figured it out.
To take all the guess work out of it for you, here is a list of items and what they cost.
This is comparable in the construction to the systems sold by Clear Source.
Use the filters that are necessary in your area.

    This is a good idea the only thing is in order to stop certain things like most bacteria, microbial cysts, pesticides, etc. You need a carbon block filter (not carbon granulated) rated 1 micron or less but you do want to use a filter rated around 20 micron or less to remove the bigger particles so that your 1 micron filter won't plug up as fast, you can look this info up on the internet, I'm not no water expert but I found this out through researching how to find the best water filter for our motorhome.

    Teflon tape is infact a sealant . It creates a seal for water , air and gas . Just make sure you use the correct tape for the job . Using pipe dope/sealant is added security .

    You mentioned having a wye for flushing your tank. If that's your black tank without a back flow preventer one could contaminate the fresh water. I never hook up my tank flush hose with my fresh water supply hose connected. That is a completely separate action.

    depending on water pressure / flow, recommend 20, 5, and 1 micron filter. Also should NEVER connect Flush tank hose to a drinking source water line, regardless if there is a valve separating them.. If that hose gets any back wash into it will contaminate your drinking lines and filters. You will have to bleach them after that to kill any bacteria. 🤢🤮

    Water pressure usually is way too much for the Rv to handle anyway so a little decrease is good in some instances. So to answer your questions, yes there is a decrease.
