Water filter storage
« on: March 24, 2016, 10:07:45 AM »
On my new camper, the documentation refers to, in between trips, taking the water filters out, drying them, and then placing them into a plastic bag in the fridge.

(I have the platinum 'freshly Squeezed water company' RV setup).

I understand the reasoning (not grow bacteria sitting in the filter while it is sitting in water for a length of time) but interested how many of you actually do this, and what do you consider a reasonable amount of between trips for you to warrant doing this...

For every situation you have 3 choices. Live with it, change it, or leave it. But only pick one

All my water is filtered through beer. Never had a problem apart from falling over but thats because of too much water.

Bought one of these back when we had the Trackabout - 2008ish... Did the fridge storage thing until we bought a B.E.S.T. [lots smaller] earlier this year...

Basically stored it that way when we returned from a trip. A bit anal, I know but the filters still worked well even with some very dirty water filtered through them.
