Жыл бұрын

This is a review of the new Itehil rechargeable RO filter that you can take with you anywhere to make your drinking water perfectly safe. Unlike regular filters that mainly filter out bacteria, this one has a reverse osmosis membrane that takes out pesticides, fluoride, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, viruses AND bacteria to keep you safe. Whether you're in a grid down, survival situation or are just out camping with your family you can use this filter to get safe drinking water from even questionable sources. The RO filter is good for 500 gallons and the hybrid composite filter is good for 350 gallons. The cost is $39.99 for the RO and $29.99 for the hybrid.
Here's a new discount code if you are buying both the Itehil water purifier AND the Itehil 500 Power Station at the same time to make sure you get a discount on both for a total of $260.00 off: Discount code "Gonagain260"

Getting out on the road is what Linda and I love to do with our converted cargo trailer camper. We're part time nomads and the nomadic lifestyle suits us to a Tee. Whether your RV is a camper van, camp trailer, travel trailer, motorhome or just a car and a tent, there's going to be something interesting for you in the videos we produce. Back roads and overlanding are part of what we do while exploring the western states for beautiful, peaceful and sometimes remote places to camp on BLM and National Forest land (public land). Taking care of ourselves as much as possible and doing our own repairs is a must because we travel on a fixed income and a limited budget. If you're into being off-grid and boondocking or doing dispersed camping whenever possible then you'll appreciate the discussions on batteries, solar panels and solar chargers or power stations and 12v refrigeration. Come on along, we're happy to have your company!

I need to get something like this to make our tap water drinkable. We used to have a large system like this and it worked great to filter even lake water or highly mineralized shallow wells for our home. I live alone in a 5th wheel camper. There`s a creek nearby if I ever need it as a water source. I`ve been slowly building a redundant solar system for my camper using various batteries and solar power stations. I`m on a small disability income and the government can take it away at any time so I`m prepping for 100% off grid in every possible way. I don`t trust them. All the government has ever done is ruin my life. The Louisiana state government is 100% pure evil. Their goal seems to be destroying lives from every angle.

@@iteHil Good to see that you guys are keeping an eye on the comments in regard to this unit. With my critical, and sometimes sarcastic view of things, it is one thing to "accept opinions" and another to actually implement those improvements. An example would be the car dealership when they say "all credit applications accepted". This leads the potential customer/purchaser of a vehicle to believe that they will be able to buy the car on credit terms instead of outright cash on the barrel head. So in this case I would hope that Rick's observations of fact in the operation of the unit and providing clear specific specifications of filter life/replacement, gallons filtered/produced, additional pertinent information that would give a potential buyer knowledge to make a decision and pull the trigger on buying one of your products. We shall see. Vague info doesn't cut it now-a-days. BTW, I am 64. It looks good so far and is on my list of items for my trailer. Thanks for the reply.

I was interested when you first posted about this. I also use the Sawyer unit for emergency. I had a difficult time getting info on who performed the analysis and where it's made. The filters drive the cost up per gallon a lot. Recovering the over all cost would require a lot of use. I dunno...I liked the concept and was very interested...but too many gaps with verifiable lab results. I know folks who used filters south of Atlanta on the Hooch who got sick as heck. So I'm cautious about factory claims, especially anything made off shore like china/SEA, I consume or place on my skin. Electric gadgets when they fail just get tossed...I can't toss my liver and buy another. I'll have to do more research... I enjoy your reviews and hope you don't take this a personal bust in the chops. Has nothing to do with you at all..I still carry scars from insecticide china used on clothing 20 years ago.

Have you tried routing the "dishwater" hose into the original source bucket to see if or how well it can re-scrub the water? I intend to perform this experiment when I get mine in (hopefully) a few weeks, but it seems like this would help to conserve available water if all you had was a limited supply to purify. Also, have you been able to decipher what their support says about the usability of the filters? I asked but their explanation wasn't any more clear than the website, where it says the filters are good for (RO Filter 6 month/550 Gallons, Hybrid 1 month/350 Gallons). They did say that unopened/uninstalled filters were good for 10 years, but my concern is that once installed you have a limited window of use even if you don't run any water through them.

@gonagain Жыл бұрын

Your idea for recirculating the water will work fine. The filter life figures that you listed are correct and I've the filters are installed I understand that they should be kept wet.

Good review could be a great product to. Does this product have a UV lite in it as well as the two filters? This is a crazy cheap price for what it claims to do. This would be expensive to do. I hope some one does a review and has a professional lab test on the the quality of the water coming out of this item. I wonder what the results would be…. Just saying….

No, it doesn't have a UV light, but the RO filter makes that unnecessary.

I am for a something like a jackery to run my CPAP, and my Alpcool, any ideas?? Thank you so for your information.

@gonagain Жыл бұрын

Hello Gene, I don't recommend Jackery because they still use the older lithium-ion battery technology and not the newer lithium iron phosphate that is safer and lasts far longer. Try Bluetti or Oupes for a better product. For a CPAP you're better off, power wise, to use it without the humidifier. For the size of a power station, if you're not running a refrigerator too, you should be ok with a 500watt unit and a 100watt solar panel.

What connection plugs into the unit directly from solar panels? Is it mc4 connector is it an Anderson connector? Or can you only use their proprietary panels?

@gonagain 5 ай бұрын

The unit charges via USBC, so any way that you can recharge a phone can be used to recharge the filter. Some solar panels have a USB hub installed on the panel itself.

That part needs more explanation from Itehil, because this information is usually given in how many gallons each filter is good for. It's currently listed as 1 month for the charcoal/sediment filter and 6 months for the RO filter. They haven't provided a price of the filters yet.

@pattya1679 Жыл бұрын

I went to the website. The RO filter is $39.99 and the other filter is $29.99. If that's a monthly cost for the regular one, it would be pretty expensive. Wonder if there is a way to clean the filters and re-use. Probably not something they could guarantee. As an emergency use filter it would be good to have around. Do filters have to be primed and or kept wet?

Hi Patty, I'm not sure if you're asking about filter storage, if you receive a new filter, it comes in an airtight package and it will keep in good condition for about 10 years without removing the airtight package.😊

@@gonagain I went back and re-watched this and saw where you mentioned the time of 6 months on the RO filter and 1 month on the other but you're right the number of gallons is a better monitor, also in the time frame of one month does that mean in one month it needs to be replaced if you have not reached the maximum gallon use or 6 months same question on the other filter or you can continue to use it until the gallon limit has been reached???

I’m not questioning you and I love your channel but I have seen other RO water filters and the rate at which drinking water goes through the RO process is very slow. On this one almost immediately it delivered you drinking water. I’m not sure I would trust it in contaminated water like that was. Comments welcome.

@gonagain Жыл бұрын

The flow is faster anytime you get an RO filter that has a pressure pump installed. On this one, the flow starts immediately, but the flow rate is still slow, taking 15 minutes to fill a 1 gallon jug. I have one installed under my sink that's like that also, with an internal pump.

Could it be that the filters must be replaced every time you filter 7.13 gallons? Am I missing something? At $39.99 per RO filter that comes to $5.60 per gallon of filtered RO water. That can't be right. The Itehil promo video says the RO tube is for drinking water, the other tube is WASTE WATER. I wouldn't want to bathe in waste water. I'll be calling Itehil to verify specifics. Otherwise, thanks for the intro to a new product.

@gonagain Жыл бұрын

Hello Stacey. The filters are good for 300 gallons (for the sediment/taste filter) and 500 gallons for the RO filter. The wastewater is actually filtered river/lake water and would normally be very safe for bathing and washing dishes. If you can swim in it, then it's even better if it's once filtered.

Hi Rick! Thanks so much for the review! Definitely helps with the RO filter shopping 🛒 but I was disappointed to discover your promo code does not actually work. I tried variations of caps/uncaps/exactly as is, none work. Unfortunately, it looks like there is no discount… and the price is not $299.99 either. The price is $349.99 + taxes & shipping. Definitely misleading as far as what you’ll pay. Your numbers plus the promo would have been max $200. The numbers of today show no promo code applicable, and out the door 🚪 $400+. Very misleading indeed…

@@gonagainIdk about you, but I for one am sick and tired of being a consumer. This product keeps you stuck in that cycle. You need to pay 💰 a LUMP sum of money for the machine, and then you don’t even get the purest water. Here’s the REAL solution to all contaminated water. A water distiller. Cheaper, with options that are both electric and non-electric. The best part? No filters necessary. Ever. Now, you cannot drink distilled water because at the cellular level, where our cells take in water, it would pass through the membrane so fast that it would actually caused the cell to explode. Therefore we need to add back minerals. So, a solution? Mineral stones. Adding back vital minerals necessary for the body such as calcium magnesium manganese potassium etc. I got a setup for less than $200. The stones are guaranteed effective for a period of two YEARS. Longer than any filter.
