How long does a water filter last?
In reading the description of a water filter, I was wondering how long a water filter lasts. The description said, 1 camping season. What constitutes a camping season? Thank you in advance for you...

I have been using the generic Camco in line model shown above . . .
What are the potential issues with this if i'm not drinking the water. Is everyone here drinking the water from the faucet and is that the only reason for better filtering?
I think the Camco-type filters are a combo sediment & carbon filter. Better filter systems have separate sediment and carbon filters. Also, better filter systems typically filter incoming water at 1 - 5 microns (or lower). However, I think the Camco filters are 100 - 150 microns. So they'll prevent rocks from getting through.
Like some here, in general, I don't believe you'll get ill drinking unfiltered campground water.
On the other hand, I full time and filter the bejeezus out of my water (my system) and use an RO (Reverse Osmosis) system for drinking water. I've found too many campgrounds with foul looking/tasting water.
