Interesting. My husband, toddler, and I lived for six months doing a combo of camping by a river (getting a lot of rain), and using a very funky shallow well (up on the Olympic Peninsula), and we never did the sanitizing tub. Boiled both the wash water and the rinse water, never used any bleach.

We're probably lucky we never got sick. Funny to remember that because I'm really fussy about water taste now. I'd never tasted bottled water at that time.

The Berkey filter gives the best tasting water I've had on this island. I've used Brita and similar filters for years on tap water, but there's no comparison to the taste. Wish I'd had something like this back when I lived in a camper by the river. []
