water filters

We have an under sink water filter. These things cost about fifty bucks for just the canister. You can't completely empty them. We use our moho for about 3-4 weeks out of the year. Cant we somehow use these again instead of throwing 50 bucks away and buying new ones just to use for a couple of weeks. Thats awful expensive filtered water. Besides with the exception of taste which is bad in some states we're not sure filtering campground water is all that necessary.We've been using rv parks( only) for several years and never caught anything from drinking their water. After all the owners drink it too.But it does help with the taste.
I've heard you can freeze them so nothing bad starts growing in them. Just thought I would ask your opinions on reusing.
  • Mine are a standard filter commonly found in big box stores. Complete filter assemblies are pretty reasonable, and easy to exchange for what you have
  • I noticed some time back that they started using some odd sized filters that are silly expensive.
    For that kind of money you could buy a new housing (I think I paid <$30) and get a twin pack of filters for $10 and be money ahead after that.
