Water Filter System (UPDATE)

[BiggestRon]

Hi Y'all,

I'm looking into water filter system Like Reveres Osmosis (RO) but they are expensive. So I lowered my sights to a cartridge system.

My question is "How long will the filter cartridge last with normal use?" A week?, A month? or a year?.

Thanks for all the replies. Even with pictures... Just Great. Thanks.
I ordered a unit from Amazon that I can set on the ground and hook up 'garden' hoses....Easy-peezy.

Again THANKS

Ron, I think the real answer is how much water you use. 2 people? 4? 6? Personally, we only use the on-board water for basics stuff like dish-washing and body-washing. Cooking, tooth brushing and drinking is with bottled or commercial RO water in jugs...while boondocking. When in a campground, and on "city water"...without a filter, we use that for everything. Again, it will depend on # of people using the system. Frankly, any "city water" we use outside our residence is likely to be a d@mn-sight better, so we don't worry too much about filtering it. The only place we had any issues was at a friend's place on the Western Slope of CO, in the coal country. We were told before leaving home that there was a significant sulfur smell to the water, but no taste issues. If we wanted to drink the local water, just fill a pitcher and let it stand for about 30 minutes, and we'd never know there was any "issue" with it. This was true, and we used it with no problems.
