Along the same lines I am working through water filtration and softening in my dirt house and one of the vendors, who I have known for a while strongly recommended AGAINST full house water purification, because we don’t use the spare bath for months at a time ( and none when we are cruising ) and you get bugs if you remove the chlorine and let the water just sit in the pipe.

Where do the bugs come from?

If the water is pathogen-free when it enters the pipe, and the system
has been treated before the treated water is introduced, how does it
become contaminated?
