My Sun Voyager came with an Everpure water filter cartridge. The owner?s guide claims the charcoal filter will remove chlorine as well as all the other ?stuff?.
At season startup, a common ?shock? sanitizing procedure is used. The amount of chlorine is 6 oz (2/3 cup) per 10 gallons. I don?t believe you expose your filter to that concentration. This concentration gets flushed out before connecting the filter.
Everpure?s day-to-day drinking water process is called superchlorination. Common household bleach (unfragranced) is added at approximately a teaspoonful per 10 gallons. They suggest checking the chlorine level with their test kit, but I?m guessing it is the same as a common swimming-pool test kit available at your Wal-Mart. You are merely looking for a residual which the charcoal will remove before it flows into your drinking glass.
The ?trick? (& burning question) is how to easily & reliably introduce a measured quantity of bleach into the drinking water tank each time you fill up. I am looking to find a source for nonsterile, blunt tip or tapered tip 60ml syringes (non-medical). A tee-tap (w/shut-off) & couple feet of plastic line into the water tank vent line should work & be convenient enough to do standing up, outside the compartment door!
