Hard water and health issues

In the RV we had a two stage filter, one a 5 micron charcoal filter the second, a .5 micron one. The water was safe to drink, but we had real issues with the pets drinking it here. The cat had numerous urinary tract infections, different drugs, we finally realized that it was likely the water here. Once we switched him to bottled water, there was never a problem. Two years later, (oh how we forget) one of the dogs did the same thing, and it was confirmed that she had stones in her bladder. We decided to try not feeding her the special diet, and switched everyone to bottled water. Amazing, no problems since then, and it's been over 3 years.

At one time we thought about a filtration system for the house, but remembered the high mineral content in the water and decided we would be money and health ahead for ALL of us to drink the bottled, RO water.

If you live here and are drinking filter water instead of RO water, we seriously suggest that you rethink your decision.
