RV Water Filters

Clean water on the road

Since you do most of your traveling during the summer, it can be absolutely critical to have clean, drinkable water for your RV. If you are traveling to locations where the water is tainted or smells bad, you will want to be doubly sure to have a good water filter. As we argue elsewhere, it is better to have filtered water than bottled water.

Water filters for traveling are available in any water purification store. It is most common to purchase a portable, lightweight pitcher-type water filter. If a portable unit is on your itinerary, you may want to consider a more durable metal model - this will cost more but it will last. Your portable water filter is going to get tossed around a lot more on the road.

There are other distinct advantages to this, depending on where you are traveling to and how you travel. These are:

Lightweight. You do not want to be toting around a heavy water filter.
No plumbing or electricity required. Electricity and water lines can be hard to find in some areas. Reliance on these will limit the availability of good water.
No installation needed. A portable unit will be much less hassle to use, to make changes to, and to repair.
No maintenance required. If something goes wrong with a larger system, it will be a big hassle to repair it or to find a local repair person, wherever you are.

Consider the advantages of a larger system
The big disadvantage to having a portable water filter of any kind is that this is not the most efficient or best method of having purified water. If you have ever had a shower in local water that was discolored or smelled bad, you might know what we are talking about. If this is a worry for you, you can look into an inline water filtration system for your RV.

This type of system can remove chlorine from all your water, and it can stop the buildup of toxins (like VOCs). Chlorine can be an issue when it comes to showers, as well. If you are running bad water of any kind through your system it can affect parts of your RV’s plumbing. Filtering water before it enters your RV can stop issues before they become a problem.
