NOPE.
Bottled water only, either from the store or containers I will up at home and then haul camping with me.
Water from the fresh tank made me sick once, so I stopped drinking from the fresh tank probably 15 years ago.
Lol

Yup, just sayin'. Got any proof? Trust those who sell it even tho there is little or no regulation and enforcement?
More paranoia, eh? My time to move on. Enjoy your day! (if possible)

X2, all water is wet (seems to satisfy most…), but when it comes to one’s health, all water sources are not created equal, however, what’s less obvious is this can lead into a very deep topic, lol - beyond the recognized three phases of matter, there’s even a fourth ionic-structured phase of naturally occurring water…My experience was in the manufacture of hydrogen where water was produced as a necessary byproduct - this was where I first began to take more than a cursory interest in water… FWIW, in our case we only go with Reverse Osmosis water which (in health matters) is considered a solvent…

For what it's worth, I'm an engineer for a water purification company, and I've been doing water testing for over 33 years. I routinely drink water from my TC tanks. I sanitize the tanks at the beginning of every season with standard sodium hypochlorite (household bleach) and then flush them. I do have a high quality carbon block filter with a dedicated faucet for a slower flow rate, just to remove the possibility of tasting any residual chlorine, which will not hurt you, but I don't like the taste. I routinely test the water, just to satisfy my curiosity and every time, it's fine. Also, I only fill my tanks with water from my home because the entire house has a water purification/softening system. I prefer showering in soft water, but even if you're just using regular city/ or mud district water, you'll be fine. Just FYI, we routinely test bottle water, just for fun. Some are excellent, some are not, depending on whether or not you're concerned with calcium carbonate. Typically "spring water" does not test as well as water filtered by reverse osmosis. Hope this helps.
