Title: water Filters
Post by: gronk on May 16, 2012, 08:03:04 PM

Thinking of putting an inline water filter inside the van  ?

Most seem to have a flow rate of only 3 or 4 lpm...

What does everyone use  ??.........I thought a flow rate of approx 10 to 20 lpm would be required  ??

I don't have one inside but I do use a B.E.S.T one when filling up the camper and have been very happy with it.

Gonk, I have one of these filters on my camper, just to the kitchen tap though.

It has worked well since I have used it, although I never had water dramas travelling, so maybe I am just kidding myself it helps.

I got one of these and it totally removed the plastic taste and smell from my CTs tank water ...

Just cut it into the line and popped it up under the sink ..

Thanks fellas, there seems to be a few on e bay, but as most seem to be approx 3 lpm,  I might try for one at 10 or more lpm..

Yeah definitely get a higher flow rate.  I bought one (3lpm) for when filling the tank and with the garden tap on full, I reckon I could drink it just as fast.  Not a big deal as I'm not in a rush when filling, but I think having one on the sink tap would slow it down too much.
