In line water filter

2x. The first one I had I used it for 2 years. During the second year it slowed down so much, I thought something was wrong with the plumbing in the campground. Took it off and water ran fine. I learned something that day.

If you keep both ends open over the winter months (I keep mine inside the trailer pass through), a simple initial flush and they are ready to use again. I sometimes flushed it backwards. I think that one reason I got almost 2 years out of it.

I don't hook up water directly to the trailer city inlet spigot. I always fill my fresh water tank. But I use the filter anyway. It's not perfect, but it does make me feel better that chunks of stuff are not being passed into my tank.

At home, (well water) I have an outside spigot that is connected through my home filtration system (Kenitco). Everything passes through those big tanks of sand filtration and then the water softener. So, from the house, I don't need the filter, as the full house is already filtered. But when camping, although not the greatest filter, it's probably a bit better than nothing.

Since we move around we check the filter each month and change as needed. during the off season we would keep it in the refrigerator in the house.

Always surprised how the quality of the water changes across the country.

We pull ours out and set it in sink between uses and change it yearly. Some advertise that they won't grow mold between uses. That's one of the factors we look at when buying.

Not full time but camping most weekends during the season - we change it yearly.

Water flow will slow down as they clog with debris, I have changed them as they became heavy and flow slowed down. Some years only once some twice, but I use them a lot at home with adding water to my koi pond as well.

When we FTd using it daily........3 mos

Now just camping.......new one each start of camping season
