NOT SPONSORED. What are you Drinking if you don't filter your water. Don't just drink from the tap

[@coversadventurecapers2838]

Great info. Love your ideas. Going to invest in the nomads filter and check the pipes on the van. Agree with drinking water hose. Great vid.

[@GoingOverland]

Glad it was helpful! Definitely check the breather lines, I don't know why trailer makers do it, might save them $3? 🤔

[@shellebelle53]

Absolutely spot on 👍such great advice, we don't even like drinking the water coming out of the tap at home 😅

[@Philipk65]

I use a good quality filter for my tap water.

[@shellebelle53]

​@Philipk65 yes we do too. The difference in taste is incredible.

[@GoingOverland]

Yeah a lot of suburbs have really old pipes under ground, and then there is all the chlorine the add

[@RustyCandyAdventures]

Merry Christmas to you all. Idea. Why not a bildge pump. Through the a cheap filter, then the thristy nomad filter. This will remove the lifestraw system. If need to control bildge pump, 12 volt pwn speed controller. Or pump from source through cheap fliter. Then a bucket or jerry with gravity through thirsty nomad .

[@Foolish_Paul_Australia]

Yet more great information. Thanks mate. I actually bought a Best filter after asking you about them when you were on your big Aussie trip. It's worked well for me but these newer filters look great too. I might have to add them to my kit. 🙂

[@GoingOverland]

Yeah nothing wrong with the best filter, used it for years, but when I researched the Thirsty Camel filter, they are the next level. I'd wait until the best filter needs replacing before thinking about upgrading 🤠👍

[@Foolish_Paul_Australia]

@@GoingOverland Thanks again mate. 🙂

[@craigtomkinson2837]

Lovely ep guys and handy hints

[@GoingOverland]

Cheers mate 👍

[@RustyCandyAdventures]

The joolca. Had trouble controlling the temperature. I found the inlet wire filter had sediment build up. Have you thought about a wire inline filter for easy of clean.

[@Accolades70]

Just Ordered Thirsty Nomad complete kit - Hope I can join it together like ya have yours.

[@davidmilledge221]

Yep always use filters and drinking grade hoses and real marine stainless grade clamps , cheers about cleaning the tanks yer I was wondering the best way to do them need to do mine soon , your legend's guys cheers 🍻

[@GoingOverland]

Cheers mate, definitely look into cleaning the tanks, really easy to do and definitely makes a difference 👍

[@kevinbeckwith7740]

Great advice Adam. I have always filled our tanks with a food grade hose and a BEST water filter. I’ll have a look at the Nomad filter.

[@GoingOverland]

If you are heading outback where it's always bore water it might be a better filter, but we ran the BEST filter for years with no problems

[@kevinbeckwith7740]

@@GoingOverland as have we.

[@jasonbarnes5605]

Great information on this topic! Can you get replacement cartridges for these filters and how often would you change them if that's the case?

[@GoingOverland]

I think the kit lasts about 9000L or something similar and the cartridges in the pre filter are replaceable. But more often than not we filling up with clean water, so I'd expect them to last even longer 🤠👍

[@jasonbarnes5605]

@@GoingOverland ok thanks. That's a lot of drinks!

I'm waiting for the next video for Joe to say hi I'm Joe in a deep voice 😂 your kids are growing

[@GoingOverland]

🤣 yeah he didn't seem very excited, but you'll have to watch to the very end of next week's video to see how many times it still takes us to get those little intros right 🤣👍🍻

[@Triple-N]

Where do you stand with maintaining your tank on the camper between trips? Do you keep it filled or leave it empty?

[@GoingOverland]

We keep the tanks full. Stops mould growing in the air space above the water. If water been in tank more than a month before the next trip, we'll empty it on the grass and fresh drinking water added.

[@Triple-N]

@@GoingOverland would you add a small amount if tank cleaner or vinegar in the filled tank? Apparently, vinegar is good at stopping moulds.

[@eroffroad5438]

We carry a B.E S.T. filter in our Jayco camper, I cannot see a flow direction on it. Does it matter which way you use it?

[@GoingOverland]

No it doesn't matter on the best. But I added a arrow on ours to try and keep one side cleaner, but it says it OK both directions

[@Accolades70]

What is pressure reduction when using the filters? what sort of pump do you use to get water from stream through filters? would the Joolka pump work with these filters ??

[@GoingOverland]

Because we use the filters inline when filling up, there is no problems with the slight pressure loss. If we need to get water from a stream we would just use a bucket, and if it's just for showers, we would just use a paint bucket filter from bunnings. If that water was needed for drinking or cooking we would run it through the lifestraw filter, which uses gravity to flow through the filter.

[@Accolades70]

@GoingOverland little bit expensive but... will have to bite the bullet I guess and get some of the pretty blue hose. :-)

[@Philipk65]

Filtering your drinking water is very important. I even filter my tap water at home.

[@GoingOverland]

Yes definitely, I'm always surprised seeing others not using a filter. 🤠

[@grahameroberts8109]

Are you standing Joe in horse manure because he’s growing up fast. 😂🙏🦘

[@GoingOverland]

I know they both are! Hayley is almost to big for her bed in the camper trailer 😳
