[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4024519, member: 5412"] Love your setup! I'd live like that in a heartbeat in the mountains. If the well water is sketchy, get a UV-C sanitation system to clean up the well water issues if it's related to whatever is causing it to be undrinkable, a filter to separate the sediment and an RV softwater that will do the entire cabin. We use one in our RV and it's great. Not expensive either. Look up RV portable soft water tanks. Hooks up with a garden hose, and the larger one that weighs about 20 lbs will produce about 350 gallons of soft water, depending on the hardness. It could be more or less, in your case with what you said, it could be less, but uses 2 lb of any table salt and about 30 minutes to recharge. We RV with friends that had an off grid cabin near Angle Fire in New Mexico. They absolutely loved it. Used an indoor toilet with a black tank outside. They would treat it, and use a macerator to discharge the waste into a semi-septic system. He couldn't exactly describe how it operated it, but he said it was the standard for living off grid, installed by a company that does it for a living. [/QUOTE]
