tested the blue camco filter with a TDS meter

Thanks for those links tech writer!

My RV has all types of stuff non RV brand. Been doing remote control dimming leds for many years. Built myself they rock.

Took a marine blower, attached a car filter, and mounted that on the frame. 4" landscape pipe for the ducting.

Love stuff like that.

Will step it up to a real filter when the camco dies.

Good plan.

Just realize that if you are not drinking the water there is no need to worry about dissolved solids, they will stay dissolved and not settle out in your freshwater tank or lines.

Non dissolved solids however can be an issue, these types of materials tend to fall out of the water and coat everything in it's path..

If you have the water I have, you WILL understand the ramifications of this issue..

My home water has such a high undissolved iron content, it comes out of the ground looking like red mud! It lines the water pipes and coats valve seats and basically grinds out any valve or moving part in the water flow unless I prefilter it first then hit it with water softener.. Prefiltering allows me to skip iron removal so only a softener is needed to remove the remainder of that the prefilter didn't catch.

For the most part, unless the campground is super primitive a simple whole house filter like I linked should suffice.
