That Camco filter is only 100 microns and will not filter out any bacteria. It will prevent bacteria from growing inside it though. Camco filter info.
Even if you have a low micron filter, you won't filter out all bacteria. Even if you had microfiltration at 0.05 microns, you'd only be filtering some of the bacteria. filtering bacteria

We bought one of these from our dealer when we purchased our Outback last September and then found out Wall Mart has them also. Wall Mart was cheaper, and you can buy just the filter without the hose, in 2 packs.
That's the filter we use, also purchased at Walmart.beemerphile1 wrote:
I filter at the sink.
Municipal tap water contains chlorine/chloride which prevents algae and bacteria growth. The KDF/carbon filters remove chlorine/chloride.
If you filter before the tank you are removing the chloride which leaves your fresh water tank unprotected. Thus we filter at the sink just before consumption.
We use the filter when hooked up to water supply, not for filling the tank which is normally done at home. By using the inline filter you also keep a lot of sediment and bacteria out of the water heater which is a perfect breeding ground for bacteria.
