[Public-List] V berth water tank

[j_l_brown]

 If I'm not mistaken, the seagull is a two stage filter element, the charcoal is only for taste and chemicals, the actual filter part is what makes it harder to force water through, like the filters used by hikers.  Much different from a household charcoal filter. Seagull also makes a hand pump option I believe if you're wanting to stay all manual.

Good info George. I may add one of those. We use a seagull pure system
which claims to remove bacteria. Got this when going offshore and not
knowing what the water quality would be. Expensive replacement filters so
qe only put cooking and drinking water thru it. All other water use
bypasses it and I will go looking for a hardware store filter when we get
back to Toronto.
