Simple reverse osmosis system is all you need. Been around doing a perfect job for decades. No power to worry about or reduced flow. Easy connection. All can fit under the sink or remote mounted with just a water line under the sink.

I’ve had an Acuva UV drinking water system for 3 years. Wouldn’t have anything else in my RV. Have just changed the pre-filter a few times over the years. Sure saves on bottles water and space!

Your delivery and content is top notch, great presentation! At 10:04 you have shown the compression sleeve being installed backwards however. The long taper goes toward the faucet so the short taper can be seated on the nut and cause the ring to compress onto the poly tube as it's being tightened into the faucet pipe. Might be ok now, but long term, there may not be enough compression for a good seal. Thanks again for the great content.

UV is disinfection by exposure to light. It does not remove anything from the water, it just kills bacteria, viruses and cysts. This has no effect on the taste of the water. If you want to improve taste, try carbon block filtration.

Good topic and install. I will plan it for my 16' 1990 Class B ... It has both 120V and 12V (factory) instant water heater and I'll plan on how to configure a new facet (that was already on the list) and the filter/cleaner system. An idea, If you can pick up a water sample bottle (2) from a local water testing business, you can capture test sample and purified sample and have them tested, both your local and/or the Mxco trip. I'd like to know what you find... ... then you'll KNOW for sure.

I purchased and installed the Acuva 2.0 system in my 96 Gulfstream Class A to eliminate funky taste/smells in drinking water and purify unknown water sources. Been in Baja, Mexico for a month now and all good. My installation issues were that my countertop was thicker than normal so I had to trim the spacer to allow the water connector to thread on and I needed a different connector to attach the 1/4" tubing to the existing fountain plumbing. Lastly my rig is fully insulated so finding a 12V source was a bit of a challenge... Used the stove igniter circuit.

Hi Brian, my limited research has shown me that the validity of UV purification is at best questionable (unless you are doing it in the holding tank for specified/prolonged periods of time). Why this gimmick rather than a RO system? Another great tester is the "Farm Project", where he recently cut open some popular water filters (including the Big Berkey), and found most to be nothing more than hollow charcoal filters. Kinda scary since a lot of online boondockers take water from questionable sources and just filter it through the Berkey thinking it is a magic cleaning machine. Love your videos, keep up the great work.

I purchased and installed the Acuva ArrowMAX 1.2 UV-LED Water Purifier in my RV about a year ago. I recently went to Acuva's website to order a replacement "Advanced Pre-Filter" and had a less than acceptable experience. Acuva charges $50.00 for the filter and their online order system apparently defaults to the $27.00 2--day DHL shipping (even though I selected the slower $10.00 shipping option. I didn't learn about the high shipping cost until I received an invoice by email with the higher charge. I called Acuva the next morning and they said they couldn't change the shipping and that they would cancel the order. A few hours later, I received another email with the DHL shipping tracking number. I called Acuva back again and they said they were sorry that they could not intercept the order but, offered to refund $17.00 for the premium shipping (which they said they never do). I received the filter 2 days later and looked it up on the web. It's made by Woder in Tulsa OK and the part number is WD-4K-ADV-JG (woder.com/products/wd-4k-adv-jg/). Woder sells the filter retail online for $35.00 and no shipping charge. Acuva is price-gouging their customers for replacement/consumable parts. I like Acuva's system and it works as advertised. However, I won't do business with a company that gouges their customers on parts. Acuva should not be selling a $35.00 filter for $67.00.
