In this riveting portrayal, Erin and Corey decide to transition from the marina to a more adventurous and self-sufficient living on the river. Tackling their fear head-on, they take on the challenge of installing a comprehensive water filtration system on their boat. The system, designed ingeniously, pumps water from the river, strips it of sediment with a strainer, moves it through 50, 20, and 5-micron filter, a carbon block, a ceramic filter and finally a UV light to ensure complete sterilization. This intricate process ensures that any form of bacteria or harmful substances in the river water are completely removed.
However, the initial process wasn't without hurdles. Erin and Corey initially struggle with the UV bulb, finding the generator's power inadequate to start the bulb. Yet, they eventually resolve the issue with experienced guidance and a new UV filter. On testing day, the filtered water seems to be of better quality than Evian, indicating a successful installation of the filtration system. Their story is inspiring for anyone considering a similar path in water filtration, demonstrating both the possibilities and challenges of off-grid living.
