Holy Reverse Osmosis, Batman! That is some complicated process you go through EF, with your catchment and you don't even drink the stuff! We use a Walmart filter as the only defense against ghoulies in our water catchment tank. We change it once a month if we remember and have a Brita filter jug for drinking water which 2/3 of this family don't even bother with (if they get thirsty they drink out of the tap). Sometimes our filter is pretty black when we change it but touch wood, we have never been struck down by germy things in the water. We have tested it with the UH kit and it's fine. I do hope all your efforts to keep your water purified are worth it and you've taught me a lesson today - to at least pay attention and change the filters on time. Thank you.
