Potable water filtration system

[Tom Warner]

Leroy a little bit more information on the bacteriostatic water
purifier in my coach. It filters and purifies the potable water
supply to eliminate tastes odors, and coloration producted by
chlorine,rust, insecticides, detergents,sediment and other foreign
objects. Satisfactory elimination of water borne disease carrying
bacteria is accomplished by a hygenic filter bed which contains
silver ions absorbed on sponge silver metal which is deposited in a
finely divided form on granular activated carbon of high surface
area. An added benefit is that even if the coach is not used for some
time, bacteria will not grow in the water distribution system. The
system requires no maintenance. The filter media will process 75,000
gallons of water before needing replacement. End of information

With this system in our coaches I cant believe we need something else
even after 20 years. WE can fill the coach 750 times before it needs replacing.

I am going to see if I can find more information on it.
