ClearSource Premium RV Water Filter Review

Most Campsite And parks provide chlorinated city water for RVs. You can also get water from wells as well. But all of these have a strong smell of chlorine. A filter like premium RV water filter from clearsource, will give you the cleanest water.

The RV filter from clearsource is one of the most authentic filters you can get for your RV. This was even featured in “Essential Equipment For RV Camping” gear guide for TrailerLife Magazine and again in MotorHome Magazine.

The first striking feature of this is the cannisters. It has got 2 filters of 2.5 in * 10 in sizes. The first stage filter is 5 microns and it removes all the water sediments away and the next stage has a 0.5 micron filter that clears sensitive impurities.

FAQ

Will this filter lead from water?

However if you have higher risk of the lead water poisoning, getting a lead filter will be beneficial for you. Although Clearsource does not include it in the package but custom cartridges available in the market that will help you the job.

 

What kind of replacement cartridges can the system take?

However, this level of contamination filtering might make the water somewhat tasteless. But the filtration is of no compromise.

Does the filter remove smell of sulfur from water?

The sulfur smell is caused By the hydrogen sulphide gas present in the water and it gives off a sharp smell of a rotten egg.

Clearsource has a second stage carbon block filter made of coconut shells which removes smells like these to a greater degree. If you want to completely get rid of this smell, you can substitute one of the cartridges with a granulated carbon filter.

Catalytic granulated carbon filters come in 2.5 in * 10 in size cartridges and they are widely available in the market. There are a range of cartridges made for specific use case available too.

How long Does the filters last?

The filter cartridges are designed to filter upto 2000 gallons of water. If you are an occasional RVer, replacing the filters once a year will be just fine. But if you’re more like a weekender or regular RVer, replace 2 – 6 times a year.
