We found a $20 water filter kit which turns horrible tasting water from the boat's tank into gorgeous, sweet drinking water. This video covers the entire installation step by step. Replacement filters cost less than $4 and last us 12 months. 🔔 SUBSCRIBE ➜ bit.ly/SBKZitem⛵Informative Sailing Videos!
However you get your water (Rainwater collection, jerry cans ashore, marina water, watermaker) your boat's tanks can make it taste bad very quickly. This simple activated-charcoal carbon filter kit makes it taste great again and even gets rid of the smell of chlorine if you treat your tanks with that. This is a great addition to any boat.

17:36 Where to buy and conclusion
You can buy this water filter kit here:
🛒 amzn.to/2TlvGk3 (USA - our exact kit, almost as cheap as the UK)
🛒 amzn.to/2UrpdEa (Amazon UK - our exact kit, cheap as chips!)
🛒 amzn.to/2Sdraqf (Amazon Canada - our exact kit, almost as cheap as the UK)
If someone had told us that we could get our boat's water to taste so good with such a cheap kit, we would never have believed them. However, the proof of the pudding is in the eating and our chlorine-smelling, plastic-tasting tank water really does taste like bottled water after being filtered through this kit.
We can buy a set of 10 spare filters for less than $4 each, and they take up very little space on the boat. We expect 10 filters to last us 10 years. Fitting the kit is easy too... What's not to like?!
