Absolutely correct. I must have bought 20 or more white hoses in the past 30 years and they all have some taste.
I have found it makes more sense to just filter the water that I plan to drink. I use a PUR filter on the faucet. The shower, toilet, dishwashing and washing machine water is unfiltered.

From his signature, he will have a water filter on his engine and POSSIBLY one on his potable water system.
Sure don't want to mix the two!
Hi Wolfe,
Maybe the original post was about a water filter for the engine.
That filter helps remove sediment and minerals from the radiator water. It also helps keep abrasive materials out of the water, so the seals might last a lot longer. I put a Napa #4070 water filter on my motorhome when it was new, and a year later it was plugged with what looked like sand. So I keep installing a new coolant filter each year.
Even though I have a gas engine, I use the same water coolant filter that is a requirement on 2 stroke diesel engines to prevent cavitation in the engine cylinder walls.
Maybe the original post was about a water filter for the engine.
Fred.
YUP, and there is a lot more to choosing the correct coolant filter than just replacing with the current part number, as they come with different "units" of SCA, which are CRITIAL to his linered diesel engine.
Just because a 4 unit filter was the correct filter last time does NOT mean it is the correct one to fit THIS TIME.
IF that is the water filer he is talking about, we can go into detail.
Fred answered my question, the filter I WAS ASKING ABOUT IS THE ONE ONE THE ENGINE.
I switched to a heavy duty coolant that doesnt require adding or testing the sca.
I was wondering what the filter , filtered ,do to the use of no silicate and distilled water.
Now I use a blank with no additive in it.
Thanks, Rich
