Curious, can anyone explain what the issue is with drill pumps and potable water? Is it maybe that petroleum products could get in the water, like from lubrication in the drill? Asking because we have one and were intending to use it for a short off the grid trip (but long enough to need a refill) to fill up our freshwater tank using a water carrier so we don't have to move the rig. I'm thinking if we use the drill pump to fill the tank up for a few days, and don't drink/cook with the water that went through the pump (use it only for washing, and use extra bottled water instead for drinking/cooking), then once we go back to using city water at full hookup sites we should be fine, any traces of odd stuff should eventually be flushed out and we can keep using our tank for potable water after that. But maybe there's some other reason I'm not thinking of that that's a bad idea to do that? Just curious if people know what the real concern is and how serious it is.
