BEST Water Filters for RVs

[@brucerozett164]

You missed one. We use the Frizzlife MV99 RV water filter system. It is also solid block carbon and filters to 0.5 microns. It is also certified by IAMPO R&T against NSF/ANSI 42&53. It has a replaceable cartridge and is designed so that you do not need to turn off the water supply to change it. And to top it off, it includes a pressure regulator. We've used it for about four months and are very pleased with it. And like almost everything else, it is available on Amazon.

[@todayissomeday]

Thanks for sharing! I didnt know about this one.

[@marydelfico8406]

I have the same one.

[@karenraabis5296]

We just bought a travel trailer. 4 days I’m! We are staying at one location for the summer and then we will travel down to Florida where we actually live. Thank you so much for the advice, help! It is an amazing gift you give the RV community.

[@todayissomeday]

You are welcome! Enjoy your adventure!!

[@allan6021]

We use a water filter canister. We use the Pentek/Pentair CFB-PB filter. It is a 0.5 micron carbon block filter and doesn’t significantly affect water flow.

[@andrewk1916]

Berkey! It has the limitations of just being for drinking and takes up a lot of space, but we haven't found anything that beats it! We also use the Clear20 as well but we also add a 5 Micron in addition to the two Clear 20 (20 micron particle and the 1 micron inline). We also use the On the Go water softner. That handles the whole camper and then we travel with the Travel Berkey for drinking and cooking! The whole system works well! Thank you for the great video!

[@NoGasWelcomeAboard]

Totally agree -For drinking/cooking from sources of unknown quality like all RV’ers encounter on the road, nothing better than Berkey. However, have found my Berkey doesn’t like water from traditional water softeners that recharge using salt.

[@andrewk1916]

@@NoGasWelcomeAboard That's really good to know, we haven't seen or had the issue yet with the berkey using the On the Go water softner yet but do know that Berkey does not recommend softned water to be put through their water coolers. Any symptoms that you can point to to say here is where the Berkey has a problem with the softened water? Doe it filter slower or somehow becomes clogged? Its hard for me to rationalize how putting water with less stuff in it clogs the Bekey's filters. Nonetheless, I appreciate the insight and will continue to check the berkey! Thanks!

[@NoGasWelcomeAboard]

@@andrewk1916 Four years ago we moved into a house with softened water, so naturally filled the coach tank with that water before our first trip. That’s when I noticed the Berkey water tasting super salty. Transitioned to good old well water for the Berkey at the CG & the salty taste went away. Maybe it was a fluke, but from that point forward I have avoided using softened water in the Berkey and have never encountered that salty taste again.

[@andrewk1916]

@@NoGasWelcomeAboard Thanks for the follow-up and pointing the symptoms to watch for with eh Berkey and softened water! WE haven't experienced that with the our portable but that's not to say we're not doing something wrong- maybe it needs to be recharged! Or maybe we put a junction prior to the softener after the filters and fill from there to see if there is a difference. We appreciate the insight and sharing your experience with the two systems!

[@kennethdebbiedavis865]

@@andrewk1916 guys try putting the softener between 2 filters. Pre filter for contaminants then soften then filter again to remove some of the sodium. The standard house filter with a carbon element should work. It does fine in our rig. But the important thing is the softener is protecting your entire rig from corrosion and calcium build up.

[@kennyandcandywalker2673]

We use a inline filter at the city water but we use a Zero water pitcher for our coffee and to drink. Every evening we run water through two Zero pitchers to have cold drinking water and the other for the coffee pot. We started this after getting some really bad water in Alaska. It was so bad we had to throw away the water hose and buy a new one. And I had used their laundry before I knew the water was bad. We had to go to another laundry and wash our clothes twice to get them clean looking and smelling. Learn a valuable lesson on this trip. Thank you for this video it really explains the different filters. Safe travels.

[@todayissomeday]

Yikes! sounds like you guys really had an ordeal at in Alaska! Thanks for sharing.

[@ajnwow1]

Perfect timing, was getting ready to order a canister system that costs $400 but now will be going with the Clear2o with the dirt guard. Thank you for the great info.

[@todayissomeday]

[@movinngroovin2104]

If you were going to buy berkey filter canister still do it . It will be extra filtered water. Use in your home and camper.

[@lancewulfers2502]

We use a standard whole house cartridge water filter. The replacement cartridges are better and cheaper than the inline filters. They don't clog as fast as the inline filters do. I'm building a two stage unit for less than $75 that will use a sediment filter as the first stage and the 1 micron carbon filter as the second stage. As a note, you can clean off the sediment filter just by rinsing it.

[@jimbertrand2499]

Great topic. What about water softener for RV when filling fresh water tank or hooked up to water at a park. Softened water is not good for drinking, due to high sodium levels, but softened water is so much better for your skin, for suds and for the plumbing and appliances in your rig. Ever wonder why water pipes, water heaters and faucets often don't work properly in RVs.

[@todayissomeday]

We use one, but it is not a Clear 2o brand, so we didn't discuss it in the video. We have the On The Go water softener.

[@Powerstroke98]

Since we tend to spend longer periods of time in one location, we also add the ‘On The Go’ water softener to our Tiffin. We don’t drink water from our rig, so we use the blue 20 micron at the hose, which goes to the water softener, then the ‘in house’ large white filter, and that’s it, other than our residential fridge, which has it’s own filter again, mainly used for ice-cubes. We only put water in our water tank from home, where the city has spent over a Billion $$ on a filtration system for the whole region, with clear Canadian water for the masses. Thanks Phil & Stacy for the explanation, as I’ll now be looking for the brand of filters you mentioned here…which reminds me, when I initially added a new filter to the wet bay, it took some flushing to get rid of the initial black sediment that comes from the filter we currently use!

[@luminousveiws]

Thanks for the info! I do wish you had more brands and technologies, so as not such advertisement. Maybe talk a bit about pressure changes as well. Every filter will drop your pressure, how much depends on the flow rate. Some real world info is always best!

[@bruceswarts9323]

Just for reference from a carbon service guy: The term "channeling" is used for the water passing thru filter without proper contact of the granules. I have a Clear Source 3 stage using carbon block and .5 micron rating. Can be mounted.

[@loua6127]

[@timcaviness5933]

Great video and explanation of each. I installed a clear choice on board double filter going thru an onboard water softner. Works great, just a lot of work doing it but worth it. No more hard water. Whewww.

[@lisastayman6392]

Because I live in southeastern GA, we have high concentration of sulfur in our water. The house water goes through a huge tank that aerates the water and sulfur escapes. Our outside faucet is not run thru this system so when I went to Walmart, I saw the Clear2 0 filter that stated it removes sulfur!! Naturally the box only had one in it which also told me that it's the one to use. Our drinking water will be run thru our much loved Travel Berkey. Thanks for confirming that I did the right thing!!!

[@truckerboogieman1575]

I just bought my first RV and I've been looking on KZbin for all types of information and this is one of the best ones as far as information on filters that information helps..

[@johnshields9601]

Phil, just so you know, we used loose carbon granules for our green house filters at the State of California Pollution Research Center, and they worked perfectly. You don't need a solid carbon filter, as long as you have a carbon filter that is filled with activated carbon. The activated carbon, in any setup will attract the pollutants.

[@atwistedlime6090]

I think this depends on if the filter is upright consistently or if people use it laying on its side. We’ve used loose in our RV system and never had a major problem except for Florida water that nothing seems to filter well.

[@stampinsher]

Clear as mud, Big SMILES! Great lesson. Thanks!

[@robh063]

We use the Beech Lane External RV Dual Water Filter System. It has two filters. A 5 micron filter and a 0.5 micron filter. $60 for the whole system and filters.

[@jeremystringer7110]

We us this. Changed our drinking water life! 😊

[@kathleenmontavon8630]

We use Flow Pur, one canister type for all water, one in-line for drinking water. We also use Every Drop filter in our Whirlpool fridge so that the fridge water and ice are triple filtered. The fridge water is the only water we drink. Being triple filtered, this water smells and tastes great eliminating the need for bottled water.

[@todayissomeday]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@etrimbleable]

I don't really need this information for my immediate purpose but it's interesting to know. Thanks.

[@lindigoins9363]

I've watched way too many water filtration KZbin videos and have been suffering from information overload. Your video cut through my mental fog. Our travel trailer has minimal basement storage, so canister filtration won't work for us. The inline filters are the only thing we can use easily. Thanks for making my decision easier.

[@billiwickey]

Thanks for the fantastic video. Excellent, easy to understand advice. We just purchased a used 5th wheel. The previous owner used it as a 2nd residence in a park. They didn't use a water filter because they believed the park water was filtered. I'm heading to the store to get the Clear20 green inline. 👍

[@Brynowyn]

I love your channel and your pragmatic approach to RV life. Thank you for the great info!

[@RVIntoRetirement]

You should try a 90 degree angle on where you have that small "cheater" hose to take more pressure off.

[@johnnyg8391]

Awesome video and new subscriber from Changing Lanes 😎. Question for y’all, where does the pressure regulator go? Before or after the filter? I assume after due to the fact the filer will slow the pressure down?

[@todayissomeday]

Welcome aboard. I have always put it on first. I want max pressure hitting the filter first. I have wanted to add it second....so maybe I will play with it to see if there is a huge difference.

[@johnnyg8391]

Thank you. So I have purchased the clear20 and I also have an canister filter that I just changed to I thought was a more durable one. I have lost major water pressure and I only assume it was the canister filter. Your thoughts on having two or should we have one or the other? Thanks

[@daniellabelle9591]

We even just ordered a jeep because of you thank you so much. And we will full time RV also. A huge thank you for your service and being such amazing people.

[@scotttaylor3598]

We, too, drink our tank water. I use a whole-house big blue canister to contain high flow ceramic "candles", made by Doulton. Filters to 0.5 microns, removes about any contaminant you can think of! Became an obvious need after travelling thru Newfoundland. Most of their water sources are from surface sources, so often park water fell under boil orders. Does reduce flow rates somewhat, but added benefit is slower filling of gray water tank! To extend time between cleaning the ceramic candles, run a sediment filter upstream of the ceramic filter.

[@johnbloxham9028]

Good Job you two. I use the Clear2o system outside, have the two canister setup in the basement (to 1 micron), and a 1 micron drinking water faucet at the kitchen sink. Let's see if anything can get thru that. I think my water is better in the Motor Home than at home, I get better soap suds in the shower than at home.

[@todayissomeday]

Thanks for chiming in! You probably do!

[@chrisebbesen5798]

That CARBON can be lightly whisked by scotch Brite pad to rejuvenate the filter. Hope this helps, the other filter I use occasionally is sayer water filter at 1 micron. It is slow and needs

[@harterbob]

Great to see you up and around, Phil. Thanks to Stacy looking after you. We use the Dirt Guard / Clear2O combination. Next inline is a single canister activated charcoal filter. Next is our water softener, then the water flows into the fresh water tank. Water we pump from the tank goes through the canister Tiffin installs on their coaches. This is probably overkill, but like you, we drink water from our fresh water tank.

[@ribster2010]

How does all that filtering effect your water flow?

[@harterbob]

@@ribster2010 It only affects flow into the fresh water tank, but filling the 90 gallon tank takes awhile. We use water from the fresh water tank using the motorhome's pump, which is good flow.

[@kenlangley7221]

As always, we found this video very informative. This is an often-overlooked add-on to your RV. We have been using the two-stage canister Clearsource filter system with 5 and .2 micron filters for about 2 years. I agree with Phil, having a quick connection makes the setup much faster. To prevent making a mess when you first turn on a faucet in the RV, I make a point to purge the air out of the system and hose before I connect the water line to our RV.

[@todayissomeday]

Thanks for adding on! We appreciate it!

[@ChristianTravelers]

Probably the best non-technical explanation of the differences of inline water filters, yet. We are clean water freaks and were looking for alternatives to the blue inline filter as we use a MultiPure carbon filter system at homebase. At the Tampa Show 2021 we bought a micro green inline and green large sediment remover from Clear2O. (Definitely need to replace 15 months later) But you saved us money because we thought there was also a replaceable filter in the large sediment unit and come to find out it's washable! We also bought the Clear2O drinking water pitcher at that show. Do you have any experience with that to do a video?

[@todayissomeday]

Love this! We do not have their drinking water pitcher.

[@vmadar62]

I want to thank you for making this video. We followed your recommendations and for our first RV trip we have enjoyed great tasting water !. In our previous trips water was a hit or miss. Now we know we will have great water.

[@kennethdebbiedavis865]

Was pleasantly surprised to see you endorse the Clear-2O. I retired from 30 yrs public water supply operations (& seabees pwc, btw). I began using it when they first became available. Within 6 months it (both stages) saved my RV from massive mud and sludge contamination the blue would have allowed-at a 5⭐️ LA resort! Ive moved on to 3 stage cartridges plus softening but preach Clear-2O to anyone that asks. BTW:didn’t see any softening on your rig. Do you?

[@jameshodgins1937]

I use 2 canister filters. The first filter is a 5 micron filter and the second filter is a 0.5 micron filter. Both has carbon. Our water tastes and smells great no mater where we go.

We started with the blue inline filter that everyone starts with and then switched to the Clear20 green one because the blue one started to have charcoal particles flake off in the hose and it was not good. Even after we starting using the Clear20 we still bought Spring Water because we sill did not believe it was good to drink from the tap but after watching your video we started to drink from the tap and it tastes great plus the 1 gallon jugs of Spring Water was getting harder to find and taking up to much room in the RV. The only downside we see for the Clear20 is that the water pressure is even lower but we just fill our freshwater tank and use our water pump and that seems to help a lot when taking showers, etc. Thanks for sharing! ~ Shion and Matthew

1. Do you filter water as you fill your fresh water tank??? 2. And then, do you filter the water as you use it from the fresh water tank? 3. Do you filter the water differently, whether it goes to the kitchen or to the bathroom or to exterior hose? 4. What about UV purification?? Seems to me that viruses are smaller than 1 micron, and therefore would pass through ALL filters. 5. Lastly, what about chemical pollutants, like lead or mercury. These are atoms, so the tiniest of all. What can filter them out??

[@harryduncan6699]

@@dkleath8697 Don’t know how your RV is set up or how you fill your fresh water tank. But if your worried about your fresh water tank and you have a fill spout on the outside where your just pour in water or stick a hose in, it’s pretty easy to clean the system. Get a funnel and go to Ace Hardware and purchase a couple of feet of clear hose that will fit on the end of it. Mix a couple of cups of Clorox in a gallon of water. I’d suggest a water pitcher as it is easier to pour. Partially fill the freshwater tank with water, then pour in the gallon mixture and finish filling the tank. Do this before a trip so it will slosh around and kill anything in the tank. When you get to your destination, run water with the pump through all the faucets and toilet. Then let it sit for a half an hour before draining the tank. Then fill the tank with fresh water and pump it though the system till you don’t smell the Clorox. Drain the tank again and fill with clean water. What I do is I just use the hose I use for city hook up with all the filters connected and fill the tank. Amazon and Camping World make an end that will screw on the end of the green filter with about 10 in. of clear hose on the end to stick in the fill port on the RV. I use a Zero G hose that is collapsible so you can wad it up. Any time you use this style of hose make sure you use a pressure regulator. Most hoses without one will eventually pop due to the heat at noon day sun weakens the hose material. If you have any questions, I’d be glad to assist as we’ve been RVing since 1985. I’m kind off a jack-of-all-trades, and in another life actually got paid to trouble solve.

Thanks for another great video, guys! I’ve been using the “green” pair and can rally tell the difference. One thought - I place my pressure gauge/regulator on the coach end of the filter pair. I am less concerned with the pressure going into the filter than I am with the pressure leaving the filters for the coach. If I cant get adequate pressure the filters being clogged is a possibility, but if pressure is set upstream, low pressure to the coach could have a number of causes. (Just a thought - from an admitted techno-nerd!). You all continue to be the absolute best!!

@@todayissomeday thanks. I will look into the dirt guard.

Lots of great information on water filter. Thanks for this detailed explanation. Good job

Good video for h2o filters....I learned something, thanks. I looked at the quick hose disconnects links. I shy away from plastic ones because they deteriorate from the sun and heat. I have had several crack at home. I like the metal ones, but I see why you get corrosion on them. I read the description and they are aluminum! I found solid brass ones on Amazon. I don't think they will corrode. A little more money, but worth it. Thanks to you both for the great videos, and thank you for your service!

Excellent video with really good information. We switched to the green Clear2O filter and pre-filter shortly after we went full time because the water quality varied so much between states. We noticed a huge difference in our water after switching.

Thank you for this video. Our campground has well water and we are trying to figure out which filtration system would be for us.

Did your camper come with the curtains? I was wondering if you can recommend a place that we can get them?

[@todayissomeday]

No, I did them myself. They were actually my dining room curtains before I sold the house

Big fan of all your videos. Thank you for explaining water filtration and demonstrating the Clear2o solid carbon block vs the granulars inside the blue filter (everyone know it doesn't work). I have been using Clear2o since it first launched. And now I use the Dirtguard with my Clear2O inline filter. Never had any issues and I have recommended it to many of my RV friends.

After watching an episode of 'two tired teachers', they had a faucet filter. I use a faucet filter (Pure) at home and bought a cheaper Brita faucet filter for the camper. After giving it a 3 day test, I gave it a 2 thumbs up.

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for this helpful information. I always learn something from your videos that helps me along our RV adventures!

Great video! Thank you so much!

VERY helpful video. The husband and I learned a ton. Thank you so much!

Love how you two break things down, easy to understand what you’re telling us about. Will be looking for C2 0 filtering system. Now my question for you, would you still use a deionized or does the Clear 2 O do the same. I love the duel canisters system, would love to install in line with house with third bringing everything down to 1 micron. Thanks for a great video.

[@todayissomeday]

We do not deionize.

Joe and I are enjoying your videos! Tell us about the artist for all your music!

I absolutely love the Clear 2 O filter! We used the blue filter last year and it just didn't do a good job. I switched to the green Clear2O filter and wow what a huge improvement! It removed that sulfur smell you get with most well water and it actually tastes good. We can actually used the water drinker faucets in the camper! Well worth the extra money for it.

I use the blue 20 micron filter right now but I’m also still new to it. I’m definitely gonna upgrade to the green 1 micron in-line filter
