Self Sufficent for freedom camping, what do I need?

[JohnM]

Hi Grizz,
we fill our water from rivers and lakes as often as needed, I have a second (spare) 12v sureflo water pump, fitted with standard hose bayonet fittings, and use that to pump the water through a dual 9" canister filter, the primary filter is a 3 micron sediment filter, and the second is a .5 micron charcoal filter, we filter all water into the tank, including town water, we were both raised on tank water, and don't particularly appreciate the taste of chlorine.

G'day Grizzz, I have a separate 110litre tank for river/creek water and a separate pump. I can divert the river water to the cold water in the shower and to the toilet while the fresh water (300litres) goes to the galley and the HWS. A third shurflo pump is used to pump the river water into the tank and also for a washing machine when needed. I don't filter it other than an inline sediment filter to keep the pump clear

Thanks for you're reply JohnM. I'm thinking of a triple pass 10" filter system. A. 1 then 5 micron sediment filter and a charcoal filter. Perhaps I'm being a bit paranoid?
Thanks for you're reply to the post

Hi ya Wilbur. Can you switch to the regular water tank if necessary? I like the toilet water diversion idea.
Thanks for sharing what you do Wilbor.
Great ideas here for sure

Yes, normally the main tank feeds everything, it's only when we pump up river water I divert it to the toilet and shower by turning 2 ballvalves, one opens up the river water water line and the other closes the freshwater line
