Should I filter the water in my RV?

Dec 5, 2021 | 0 comments

Many of us have on board water tanks. I usually fill mine before I head out because I know my water from home is safe to drink. Yes, the extra weight probably affects my gas mileage, but I like to know the quality of the water that has been put in my tank. When cooking and making my coffee I want water that tastes pure. I never know if I should filter the water in my RV.

On one trip, I went empty, and thought I’d simply hook up to the camp water. when I realized I had filled my tank with sulfur tasting water I was dismayed. It was like brushing my teeth with rotten eggs! You never know what the water will smell or taste like at a campground until you get there. Sometimes the water is chlorinated and tastes like pool water.

I was very happy I had my own water on board when I went to one particular campground, because when I arrived, they had notices up to boil the water before using it. Needless to say I did not even turn the faucet in the site on to wash my hands. Whether it is for taste or safety, you may want to consider filtering your water.

I prefer to filter the water in my RV before it goes into my holding tank rather than when it comes out of the faucet. Camco sells a filter you just screw on between the campgrounds faucet your water hose.
