Installing Water Filtration/Watermaker System On Our Boat

Installing Water Filtration/Watermaker System On Our Boat



One of the upgrades we were most looking forward to doing this year aboard our boat is the installation of this water filtration system that we will use to produce clean, safe water directly from the lake. We had a similar type of system on our last boat and it worked great. Now, we will have access to virtually limitless fresh water while we cruise.

Big thanks to ‘Gary The Water Guy’ ( for helping us out with this system. Please check out the video we did at his store in Midland, Ontario, to learn more about this Viqua water treatment system here: Don’t worry about driving to Midland to purchase your own unit, as his online store has a huge selection of products you can order right from home.

Remember that Gary also has a very informative YouTube channel ( Check it out to learn all about water treatment through his helpful videos and insights. Take a boo and leave a message to say that you found him through the Boogaboo Crew!

RV Water Filtration Systems

RV Water Filtration Systems



More details:

RV Water Filtration is important. Filters keep dirt, sediment, and even cysts from entering your RV and clogging up your water using appliances including your water heater, sinks, toilet, and shower. RV Water Filtration also supplies you with cleaner drinking water, and removes some or all of the chlorine, which is bad for your skin and bad to breath while showering.

We have a 3 canister water filter system complete with a Watts 263A-LF adjustable water pressure regulator with pressure gauge.

We always run a 5 micron or smaller particle/sediment filter in addition to a carbon filter to remove chlorine and bad taste.

If you part-time or vacation in your RV, make sure to use cartridges that are ‘bacteriostatic’ as that means they won’t grow bacteria or algae when not in use.

If you full-time, you can use ‘standard’ household cartridges as they’ll have enough water movement that bacteria and algae won’t be able to grow.

Thinking of Buying a Non-Backwashing Water Filtration System? Think Again.

Thinking of Buying a Non-Backwashing Water Filtration System? Think Again.



MYTH: Backwashing (or self-cleaning) water filtration systems waste water. FACT: Backwash water is filtered and can easily be used to water plants or side yards, or simply run off into a pool, pond, or even for livestock or horses. Zero waste! Most importantly, backwashing is required to reduce and eliminate bacteria, increase your filter’s life and reduce your cost of replacement, and ensure 99%+ effectiveness of removing toxins for the filter’s life. According to studies (see below), non-backwashing systems are less than 36% effective at removing toxins.

News – Non-Backwashing Water Filtration Found Ineffective:

Why Use a Backwashing System?:

*Environmental Water Systems are Made in the USA, with quality and integrity
*Meets or exceeds all pertinent NSF, ANSI, FDA, and California State compliances
*Featured and showcased by HGTV, Ty Pennington NGHTV, National Association of Home Builders, Builder Magazine Top Products, New American Showcase Home, & more
*The water filtration of choice used by professional athletes, celebrities, hospitals, health care centers, and hundreds of thousands of families worldwide

Compact Travel Berkey Water Filtration System

Years ago, before we developed the Travel Berkey water filter, before we offered different size systems, we were always asked why we did not offer a system that was smaller. Our customers pointed out the benefits this more compact size would offer. After much research and customer feedback we developed the Travel Berkey water filter to meet our customers’ needs. Because of its smaller more compact size, this water filter system is the ideal unit for traveling or for use in areas where counter top space is at a premium like motorhomes, motels or efficiency apartments. It easily fits into a suitcase or even an airline carry-on bag when traveling. The Travel Berkey’s ability to accept up to two filters makes it able to provide drinking water for small groups of people or smaller families of up to four people. The Travel Berkey lid as well as the upper and lower containers are all made of a high grade, durable stainless steel that is engineered to last a lifetime. This water filter system comes with everything you need to start purifying your drinking water within minutes of assembly including easy to set up instructions with no tools or special knowledge required. The tried and true stainless steel container material provides an easy to clean surface that does not allow contaminants to permeate the container. This ultra-hard smooth construction offers the benefits of resisting stubborn lime and water scale buildup, making it much easier to maintain than filter housings made of other materials.

The Travel Berkey is the perfect size!
Price: $228.00

Key Features: Two Black Berkey purifier filters (will produce approximately 6000 gallons of drinking water before needing to be replaced) Produces up to 2.75 gallons of filtered drinking water per hour 7.5″D x 18″H 6 Lbs. Dry High quality stainless steel container Easy flow spigot Knob for lid Complete assembly and maintenance instructions Compatible with the Berkey PF2 Fluoride filter

PUR Website has trouble shooting answers:

Changing your water filter regularly is crucial when it comes to removing contaminants, because a clean filter means clean water. It is recommended that faucet filters be replaced every 100 gallons or every three months to maintain maximum contaminant removal.
