March 22 is World Water Day 2020. Held on this day every year since 1993, World Water Day focuses on the importance of freshwater and raising awareness of the 2.2 billion people living without access to safe water. According to the United Nations website, it is also about taking action to tackle the global water crisis. A core focus of World Water Day is to support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 6: water and sanitation for all by 2030. It’s a lofty goal but a worthwhile one.

A question that we often get not only about our RV water filters but RV’s in general is, “Why isn’t the water flow rate faster?” It’s truly a million-dollar question, and one which has multiple answers.

In an article from the Fox News website, Olga Naidenko, Ph.D., EWG’s vice president for science investigations, was quoted in a press release as saying, “The vast majority of...

Our mission at CLEAR2O is to create water filtration products that deliver the cleanest, purest water possible. Although we love what we do, we often wish we didn’t have to do it. Imagine a world in which all the water supplies were totally contaminant-free. We’d have to find another profession, but somehow, we’d manage. Unfortunately, the reality is that unsafe water – especially for drinking – lurks in far too many places. Some of the instances are more conspicuous, and more egregious, than others. There are few people who don’t remember the fiasco in Flint, MI, where in 2014, cost-cutting...
