GL: POTABLE WATER FOR LONG RANGE CRUISERS

[John & Judy Gill]

This post is in response to the questions regarding good on board water.

An article we wrote a few years ago and published in the AGLCA Great
Loop Link newsletter titled "Potable Water For Long Range Cruisers"
will explain how to obtain "bottled water" quality water on your
vessel at a nominal cost and make purchase of bottled water while
doing the Great Loop Cruise unnecessary.  See the ARTICLES section of
our website listed below:

We learned however at the Atlantic City Boat Show that the lesser
expensive Nature Pure unit has been discontinued and that in the
future only the Sea Gull unit will be available (they will continue
to manufacture filters for the Nature Pure).

Also when filling the house water tanks from known "city" water which
is chlorinated, don't use charcoal filters which will remove the
disinfectants from the city water, but do keep them in line when
filling from untreated well water.
