Will be visiting Altnaharra this summer and have read about the water coming from local river treated . OH doesn’t want to draw it through the caravan water system. I get that motorhomers probably fill their tank before they get there - what do other caravanners do? We are there for 4 nights so bottled water might prove costly. Any recommendations please.

I am sure the water at that site would be fine for washing and washing up even if you are concerned about drinking it. You can always throw a purification tablet into the Aquaroll at the next site and rinse it through. Bottled mineral water is quite inexpensive, especially the quantities that would be used for drinking, making tea and brushing teeth.

We used it in our MH's system and for drinking with no ill effects. Six weeks into a tour means you can't always fill before you arrive.
If it's treated, what's to worry about as isn't all our water from rivers originally before going into reservoirs then to treatment plants? 🤷♂️

We just filled the MH as normal. Well apart from having to walk up the tump to the tap with the watering can multiple times.😂 We don’t drink water direct from the MH tap anyway, only boiled for tea and coffee. I prefer fizzy mineral water if I want cold water. Always use the tap water for brushing teeth / rinsing and did the same at Altnaharra with no ill affects.
Enjoy Altnaharra, it’s one of the best sites on the network. In my opinion anyway.
