Where I'll be Volunteering this Summer the water has Chlorine added. Although lightly, it seems to affect the taste of coffee and pasta. I get the water from the spicot not thru the TT plumbing. Would a Brita or similar filter work?

It looks like the Brita says it will do exactly what you want.Brita filter for taste

I use a portable Camco filter that I buy from Walmart. It fits in the hose that brings water into either your city connection or fresh water tank. I normally use one for about 3 months and then trash it and get a new one. We've started to keep a couple of 2 gallon filtered water jugs on board for drinking water, coffee etc. 'cause you never know what's in the local water you're drinking.

In fact it tastes sweet. Our water hose has an inline Taste Pure rv water filter as well so our drinking/cooking water is double filtered. We buy both filters at Walmart. The TastePure is in the W-M rv/auto section. The ZeroWater is in their plumbing/bulbs section - at least in most W-M we've shopped.:W

We buy spring water from Walmart for coffee and cooking.

Trailer fresh water tank is just a big ole water bottlePEX plumbing thru out trailer is exactly the same type of plumbing lines used in residential homesChlorine is added to a lot of municipal water systemsUse an in-line filter on hose from spigot to trailer-----either via city water connection or to fill fresh water tank.Then you can use an additional water filter at kitchen faucet if needed.
