Your web site appears to be a monetized site -- many links to Amazon products. Did/do you receive any compensation for your ClearSource review?

Try the RVwaterfiterstore.com. He has many filtration options. We have a dual system,a carbon filer and a sediment filter. I am not sure about the filtration numbers.

Don't know if it is better but we use the Hydrolife model HL180 on the hose when we fill up our Fresh Water Tank and buy Spring Water for drinking, coffee and cooking. We really like the Walmart Spring Water. We don't snow bird so one filter lasts the season. They are somewhere around $37 or so from various sources.
BTW we do not use campground source water directly into the camper but only thru the FW Tank.

We use the blue filters and they are fine for showering and washing dishes. But all drinking water is from gallon jugs from whatever local grocery is nearby.

That's what we do.

But to answer the question, one of the best you can buy is a Katadyn inline filter and install it yourself. As mentioned above, there are also other brands widely available.

Advice taken. Thank you. We are weekend warriors in the summer but will be snowbirding this coming winter so I was thinking more along those lines. I use the Camco in-line filters so I'll just continue doing that and buy bottled water for drinking/making coffee etc. Thanks again!

Distilled about $ .80 a gallon.

Excellent advice. Long-term water filtration solutions can cost $$$ -- typically more than a Camco.

Home Depot whole house filter, a pair of 3/4 brass nipples, add a pressure regulator and thats a job well done.
