Is Your RV Water Safe? A Sit Down w/ Corbin from Blu Tech
Manage episode 515029886 series 3526790
Ever turned on a campground spigot and… it ran brown? Same.
In this episode I sat down with Corbin Collet, CEO of Blu Tech, to talk about making RV water actually safe (and tasty) without killing your water pressure.
We get into why those cheap inline “blue canister” filters are basically bouncers that only stop big dirt (20µm), how Blu Tech’s 0.2µm + full-flow UVC setup works, and why using stainless + NSF-certified parts matters from the faucet all the way to your rig. We also hit the surprisingly underrated stuff: leak-free quick-connects, a smarter black-tank flush, the Qi Tank for chlorine/H₂S/iron, and the new Under-Sink UVC for a simple extra layer at your kitchen tap. Plus, a cool origin story: the company’s COVID-era UVC work that pivoted into RV water.
If you’ve ever said “my water still tastes weird,” there’s a good chance your lines/tank just need a proper sanitize—we cover that, too. Fewer plastic bottles, better coffee, fewer headaches. Let’s go.
