The RV Water Filter is a Necessity

 
No matter where you fill up your RV water tanks, you can't be absolutely sure of the quality of the water you get. There are however several actions you can take to ensure the water you drink is as safe as possible:

• Boil the water. You can boil all the water you use for cooking, washing, etc., but that's not very practical.
• Use bottled water. You can tote bottled water with you for drinking and cooking, but again, that can be a real hassle.
• Install a quality Point of Use (POU) water filter. You can install one of these under your galley sink for drinking and washing dishes.
• Install an in-line external water filter that will filter all the water in your coach before it reaches your faucets. This is the option many RVers choose because it solves the problem before it reaches your sinks, faucets, and glasses.

Whatever water filtration system you choose, make sure to also filter your water from the source hose. You can get inexpensive hose filters that fit over the nozzle of your hose and your tank to filter out impurities from the source water. Many municipal water systems aren't as clean or healthy as we would like, but a good quality RV water filter will give you peace of mind and good-tasting water every time you turn on the tap.
