Using a Cordless Transfer Pump for Boondocking Water

[DonTom]

follows the same spec for all their products..

Without saying how many microns they filter down to, along with a disclaimer for what they say their water filters can do.

Why are they afraid to mention the one fact that can be well proven and doesn't even need a disclaimer?

I am a bit curious to know if any others here have pumped untreated water into their RV tank while boondocking next to a creek.

Sure is handy, no way could I stay here this long without the creek right next to my motorhome.

I enjoy this place very much.

It's nice to have the battery operated water pump.

I have many Bauer tools from HFT that all run on the same 20VDC battery. I have several of the batteries with me. here. With me here now, I also have the Bauer portable fan, flashlight, drill & M/C tire pump. At home, I have the Bauer weed eater, and many saws, tools and other stuff that run from the same type of battery. All my batteries are the 5AH. Smaller and larger batteries are available from HFT for this same stuff.

And they even have a power station for this battery (but has been out of stock everywhere lately):

If Harbor freight made cars you would be all set.

You can drink the creek water if you get a life straw filter or other brands

You dont need to actually drink from the creek, you fill a pouch with the water and then let it filter through. I have one on hand but have never used it - its for emergencies and should be in everyones kit

ts for emergencies and should be in everyones kit

Or use the filter I use. Lasts forever and is field cleanable. Can be cleaned in unfiltered creek water and filters down to 0.2 micron.

But it's not for RV use, but for worldwide drinking from rivers, & creeks.
