What if there is no camp ground or service point with tap water connection on your way?

| Fresh spring water |
On our travels, we often find natural springs with very good drinking water, but until now we could not use this water source for our onboard water tank.

| Natural spring beside a mountain road |
 |
| Clear drinking water |
We invested in a 15-meter hose, some hose connectors, a Gardena water pump, an external filter system and a battery drill.
In Greece, we had the chance to test the setting. It worked very fine with this natural spring.
The pump and the battery drill could provide enough pressure to work the two filters and fill the tank in the same speed as a usual water connection at a camp ground could do.

Gute Idee, aber ohne dauerhaften Einsatz besteht hier große Gefahr der Verkeimung.
ja, das stimmt. Wir haben das System nun seit mehr als 1000 Tagen im Dauereinsatz und nutzen das Wasser auch als Trinkwasser.
