I don't make water in obviously dirty water such as Gloucester MA which has a
large commercial fising fleet and very little circulation for fear of oil
contamination of the membranes and general rot from fishing debris. Another
area is the sounds of North Carolina. For some reason the brackish water
there make the prefilters really foul with black stinky residue, and the
output water has a slight but unpleasant flavor.
Very silty water, such as here in St Augustine FL, makes good water but the
filters need frequent attention.
In Key West the filters lasted a long time but the intake strainer needed to
be emptied of grass every day.
