I’ve been reading about RV water tanks, and the problems they face ensuring their water is safe to drink. I’m actually a Yacht person and RVs are considered to be land yachts, so that makes sense to me.
Basically, the RV water tank is a “large petri-dish” on wheels. The movement of the water, the air and the heat create an environment that dissipates the chlorine in the tank whilst giving new life to the bacteria it once controlled. Not only do you have to drive the RV, one must also become an amateur water treatment worker by maintaining a safe system, treating the water in the tank and then purifying it before drinking.
Treatment involves super chlorination of the water and allowing for the dissipation of chlorine. In other words, RV owners need to have the water in their tank at higher levels than normal of chlorine in order to stay safe. I don’t know about you, but by the time it gets to my glass, I don’t want it to have anything in it at all.
We need the chlorine in the water to kill off the bacteria such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium, however we don’t want to drink it. This where kangen water comes in.
The SD501 — Enagic’s 7 chambered ionzing unit is portable and can be used with any faucet. RVs have 120 volt AC power for home appliances, so using the unit at home or in the RV is easy — simply plug it in and away you go. The water is first purified through the filter, which is made from granulated carbon and calcium sulfite. It is antibacterial activated and removes 95% of the initial chlorine and 0.4 parts per million against 2 ppm of the residual chlorine in tap water. The water is then passed through the electodes where it is ionized. The result of all this is a clean, clear, pure taste that tastes like water should.
I was also interested to read that most areas with bad water are ones that take their supply from mountain streams. In advertising, we associate crystal mountain streams with purity and cleanliness. I guess they don’t want to show the bear doing it’s business in the water or a dead animal floating by. Of all the animals blamed for contaminating water, the poor old beaver gets much of the blame. It seems they spend most of their time in or near the water supply so it is inevitable their waste (and the parasites from their waste) will end up in the water.
I don’t know if I’ll drink the next time I’m near a mountain stream. Actually, I’ll have a bottle of kangen water with me, so I won’t need to.
