Meet Paul, Beth and their young family…dedicated WFA customers who love their home water filter system so much they decided to take one away with them in their campervan!
A three week trip through the Flinders Ranges with another young family in convoy was the perfect testing ground for their new WFA Eco Inline system.
For Paul, the WFA brand was one that he trusted,
“Obviously we had that water filter brand and system at home and my wife likes to have clean filtered water for the kids.
So for us to have the confidence of knowing that we had the good water from home while we were away was fantastic!”
With a new campervan, Paul was keen fit the water filter before the trip and test it out for taste.
“Obviously it was quite a new van so there wasn’t a great deal of bad taste previously.
But you could notice a slight plasticky taste when we first got the camper filled up.
I don’t know how much of that is just flushing through a few tank fulls of water or that now the filter is there it is doing the job to get rid of that.
But once the filter was fitted, the water tasted great so we put it down to the filter! “
Trip Highlights
The young family travelled from Sydney to Broken Hill and then on to Silverton and from there continued on to the Flinders ranges where they travelled along the Oodnadatta track as far as Coward Springs.
For Paul and the families, the hot springs were a real highlight,
“They were a natural hot water spring in the ground and we were able to take a dip in there in the middle of winter and it was still quite warm, so that was great.”
The families travelled back through the Flinders ranges where they stayed at the Merna Mora Station, a working sheep and cattle station which was another highlight.
“It was the first time we had done a big trip like that. We had done a couple of weekends nearer home to get the bugs out of the campervan but that’s the biggest trip we’ve done with that particular camper for sure.
It was really good just to get away with the family and detach from city life and the stresses and technology that goes with it.”
Throughout the three week trip the new RV water filter certainly got a good workout!
“Another big plus was the flow rate. It remained the same so we were able to use the filter for cooking, drinking and even washing up.
Some places had dedicated places for washing up so we sometimes used those so that we didn’t waste our drinking water.”
“For us being able to make use of the onboard water, topped up from good known water supplies.
And to be confident that the filtration would get rid of as many nasties as possible before we got to drink it was a huge benefit.
It saved in cost too as it saved buying and carrying bottled water for the trip.
That was a big thing for us.”
