Water Purifier
Re: Water Purifier
I have a 3 stage (non UV, but I boil my water anyway), which unless you live in PP you definitely need for any other water, especially out in the provinces. Cartidges are $20 for the 3 sediment filters which I've had to replace once in 3 years, but that's on PP water (pee pee water...hehe).
Mine hardly uses any electricity, in fact it works fine with the water pressure from the mains (sometimes I leave it unplugged). Just takes about an hour or two to fill up the 10L bladder tank which then can be emptied into an empty blue 20 liter bottle. The valves and hoses are cheap though and crack easily, so be careful.

Re: Water Purifier
MIne's just like this, doesn't need electricity for anything, water in one end, the other end to a dedicated tap. Not sure why electricity or tanks are needed?GTC7 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 29, 2018 5:14 pm I have a 3 stage (non UV, but I boil my water anyway), which unless you live in PP you definitely need for any other water, especially out in the provinces.

Re: Water Purifier
Different processes. Some systems use UV light, others use osmosis membranes which require additional pressure. For areas of low water pressure, the catchment tank is helpful as the flow through the filter is less than a trickle, especially once the filters have been used for a while.timmydownawell wrote: ↑Sun Jul 29, 2018 5:24 pmMIne's just like this, doesn't need electricity for anything, water in one end, the other end to a dedicated tap.

Re: Water Purifier
Apologies, my mistake. Mine is apparently a 5 stage after looking it up. 3 sediment filters, an alkalyzer? and the RO cartridge (which is still original and 3 years old).
Only difference with the pic is mine has the electric water pump as well.

One ngo sells $10-12 charcoal filters. Best.
