I've used Aquamedix but switched to Safe Water Products a few years back. Their smaller one works well in our travel trailer and I loved that I can buy replacement filters one at a time, unlike the Aquamedix. I use the 886 Plus in my home shower and the smaller 886 in the travel trailer. I use a sediment filter in front of it and it makes my filters last a long time and the flow stays good. In the camper, we have a filter that we connect directly to the water at the site and that catches sediment, etc. as well.

We just got back from a three-week camping trip, and I was able to use the handheld in all the campgrounds but one in their handicapped showers -- they all had handheld wands I could just unscrew and put mine on. It was great for places where we didn't have full hookups and I didn't want to fill up our gray tanks too quickly.

Their products are still available on Amazon, but they've gone to selling them through their own shopping portal. If you go to their website, which is safewaterproducts.com and look at the bottom, you'll see the link to shop. Use the code NTM-25 for a 25% discount. It's free shipping and no tax and the first order I placed through the new site arrived quickly.

If I'm in a situation where I can't use my showerhead, though, I either take a bath or you can do as Dr. Falkinham suggested in a recent presentation and put a mesh laundry bag or a Ziploc with a hole in it over the showerhead. It will reduce the aerosolization of the water that creates the droplets we're more likely to inhale.

I spent the first few years after I was diagnosed worrying myself constantly about exposure from the shower. It's so nice not to worry anymore!!

Laurel, do the safe water products filter down to .2 microns? Also, I couldn’t find them on the Amazon website.

This is the one I use as well. So far it works the best for me.

@laureltn

Where are you purchasing the sediment filters you are using with your safe water products? Are you still happy with the safe water products?
