RV in line water filters

.
I do it for the taste part.

X2. Our city put in a new water treatment system about 5 years ago with a nice tax increase. Many of us now saw we have expensive crappy tasting water, but it should be safe. We filter ours solely for that reason.

Tap water bacteriological quality is the highest oversight we have to conform to.

We bring drinking water. the CG supply is used for showering. What I do not see at many CGs is a back flow preventer on each spigot. So whatever comes out of your neighbors rig stays there. Its a concern as Ive parked next to some less than sanitary rvers. Im no Felix Unger but also not interested in Montezumas revenge either...

x2 on this. we bring drinking water. i use a cheap inline filter to filter out sediment before it gets into the rig's water lines. last summer at one particular campground 5 minutes after hooking up to water spigot lost water pressure inside rig. removed filter and could visibly see sediment clogging entry end of filter. installed new filter no more problems on that stay. i always carry couple spare filters

There's a difference between safe to drink it and I would want to drink it.

A lot of safe to drink water tastes nasty.

Plus none of these inline filters do anything about bacteriological issues.

I have been using a whole house filter, purchased at Home Depot, for the past 14 years. I use a charcoal filter in it which filters finer and also takes out any funny taste in the water. Change the filter as needed. I put the whole thing in a plastic milk case and then on the ground under the edge of our slideout. I use brass quick connect fittings on all hoses. That keeps it out of the sun and also keeps it cooler. This has worked well for us for many years, lasts longer, and is not expensive like the smaller inline filters are.

Use the same in my 5er. I plumbed it directly ito the city fill hose port using some PEX and screw on fittings.
Just got some new filters a month ago at HD for around $11.

The blue inline available everywhere are fine change them every few months.

I originally used two of the whole house replaceable cartridge types,in series, first charcoal, second purifying.
but back flow too much so put them in parallel. got tired of messing with replacing, etc. so I just started using the blue ones from walmart,etc. again two in parallel for flow.
