Water Filter for DX3

Well I need a way to filter the water coming in from camp sites. So I added a inline water filter system that I came up with for cheap (under $100.00). I installed a 2 inch angle iron and mounted the filters to that and painted it black so it does rust. Then I removed the output line from the holes reel and rerouted it the filters and back out to a check valve that feeds the system. I purchased the filter from menards and they also have a bypass on them.

If you dump some ping pong balls in the filter housing, it takes less antifreeze.

Somehow I bet a gallon of ping pong balls costs more than a gallon of anti freeze

You can't really re-use the antifreeze and its not good for much else.

Ping Pong balls however are good for beer pong.

I have enough trouble getting the taste out of my water. I don’t need it in my beer too!

someone needs to do a nice RV IPA.

"we double dry hop for a nice crisp finish and infuse a proprietary blend during fermentation, for a Bismuth subsalicylate finish that lingers on the tongue"

Why? Is the single filter provided by Dynamax not adequate? Please explain.

I did hear that the Dynamax filter is proprietary and hence the filter is only available from them.

Not sure if that is true or not.

Furb changed his to enter the filters as soon as the water enters the rig.

The filter is not proprietary, you can find them online. The filter is adequate but a fee of us still added under counter filter in kitchen.
