We Drink Canal Water (But Is It Safe)? ☕💧 | Widebeam Boat Ep 408
Is this the ultimate off-grid water solution for boat life? We've finally solved the biggest problem every boater faces: running out of fresh water. For years, we've been rationing every drop, planning our entire route around the next water point. In this video, we install and review the OffGridWater 3-stage filtration and reverse osmosis system, a complete game-changer that has given us total water freedom. We're turning dirty canal and river water into a limitless supply of pure, safe drinking water right from our narrowboat. If you're tired of water anxiety, you need to see this.
Imagine taking endless hot showers, using the washing machine whenever you want, and never having to conserve water again. This isn't a dream—it's our new reality. We'll show you exactly how this powerful watermaker works, from the initial filtration of river water (Stage 1) to the final purification with the impressive reverse osmosis unit (Stage 3). Is a DIY water system worth it, or is this pre-built solution the key to unlimited off-grid living? Watch now to see if we're really making coffee with canal water and find out if this is the best boat upgrade we've ever made

We've been blogging, vlogging and podcasting about living on our boat since 2005. If you love travel, sailing, fishing, diving and photography this might be the channel for you... Each week we post a 15-20 minute snapshot of what we did. It might cover anything from sailing, travelling, meeting people, fishing, cooking, shopping in exotic markets or hanging out on a tropical beach, to boat maintenance (there's a lot of that when you live on a boat) and tackling challenges or bureaucratic conundrums. There's also a fair bit of photography and diving. Even though the world continues to throw spanners at us, we love being perpetual travellers. And we've never regretted making the big leap into this alternative lifestyle for even a nanosecond. If we make you laugh or inspire you, then these videos haven't been a total waste of time. Pop round to the pub and share a drink with us... https://followtheboat.com/pub/ Jamie and Liz xx
