Drinking water source for island stay

lakershaker · 06-29-2020, 07:49 AM

On the southeast side/end of Rattlesnake, we drink the lake water after filtering, and it is the best tasting water in the world (objective test of everyone who's ever had it...). We have a whole house filter system with 4"x20" sediment and then 5micron carbon, then a UV system. For under the sink in the kitchen, we also have a reverse osmosys system for extra filtering, but that is an extra step and maybe a bit of overkill.

Sediment filter does get full fairly quickly. With daily use, we end up changing it about every 30 days.
