water filter for taste and smell

[pianotuna]

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a system that can get rid of both taste and smell while allowing enough water flow for a shower?

Thanks in advance.

Seasons Greetings to all!

A filter that will eliminate tastes and smell and permit enough flow for a shower doesn't exist in a size suitable for RVs. We installed one of these under the sink for drinking and cooking. It works really well. It's the ceramic shell and carbon block (not granules) that makes the difference:

look at iSpring system model WGB21BM
I think you will like the job it does on taste, smell and iron.

I used a cheap homemade charcoal filter Now I can not guarantee it will work but here is how to make it.

Yu need about a foot or 18" of 2" PVC
You need one end cap that is a reducer to 3/4" threaded and a hose adapter (garden hose fitting) to go into that. I suggest cutting down a stainless drain cover to just fit inside the 2" fitting that goves over the pipe.

On the other end of the pipe a coupler to a threaded fitting. and a screw in reducer to 3/4" and the other garden hose fitting (Make that the female end)

To make filter
Start with some Filter Floss (Fish isle at Wal-Mart or Pet Store)
Pack it in about 1/3 to 1/2 the pipe

Then Activated charcoal (Same source) NOTE get the basic not the algaecide kind

Fill the tube almost full

Then a bit more filter floss (Say about an inch)
Screw in the "input" cap.

Every month or 2. .dump out the pipe and re-stuff.
