Excellent video with really good information. We switched to the green Clear2O filter and pre-filter shortly after we went full time because the water quality varied so much between states. We noticed a huge difference in our water after switching.

@davidknocke4793 3 года назад

Thank you for the excellent overview. I would highly recommend the RV water filter store as an option for everyone outfitting their RV water needs including but not limited to water filters, water filter housing, water softeners, hoses regulators etc. I did a lot of personal research and found this site and their staff very knowledgeable.They are an excellent family run business with high-quality products.

@billiwickey 3 года назад

Thanks for the fantastic video. Excellent, easy to understand advice. We just purchased a used 5th wheel. The previous owner used it as a 2nd residence in a park. They didn't use a water filter because they believed the park water was filtered. I'm heading to the store to get the Clear20 green inline. 👍

@yaseminsmith6884 3 года назад

Big fan of all your videos. Thank you for explaining water filtration and demonstrating the Clear2o solid carbon block vs the granulars inside the blue filter (everyone know it doesn't work). I have been using Clear2o since it first launched. And now I use the Dirtguard with my Clear2O inline filter. Never had any issues and I have recommended it to many of my RV friends.

@kenlangley7221 3 года назад

As always, we found this video very informative. This is an often-overlooked add-on to your RV. We have been using the two-stage canister Clearsource filter system with 5 and .2 micron filters for about 2 years. I agree with Phil, having a quick connection makes the setup much faster. To prevent making a mess when you first turn on a faucet in the RV, I make a point to purge the air out of the system and hose before I connect the water line to our RV.

Thank you both for taking the time to give us the information we need to make decisions for our own needs. We're workcamping in the Colorado rockies all summer. The campground is awesome, beautiful, but the water isn't smelling great coming out of the tap. The blue inline filter we have been using just isn't cutting it, so wee just ordered the Clear 2 O inline and dirt guard.

@johnshields9601 3 года назад

Phil, just so you know, we used loose carbon granules for our green house filters at the State of California Pollution Research Center, and they worked perfectly. You don't need a solid carbon filter, as long as you have a carbon filter that is filled with activated carbon. The activated carbon, in any setup will attract the pollutants.

@atwistedlime6090 3 года назад

I think this depends on if the filter is upright consistently or if people use it laying on its side. We’ve used loose in our RV system and never had a major problem except for Florida water that nothing seems to filter well.

@TheHungryCubanAdventures 3 года назад

We use a inline filter at the city water but we use a Zero water pitcher for our coffee and to drink. Every evening we run water through two Zero pitchers to have cold drinking water and the other for the coffee pot. We started this after getting some really bad water in Alaska. It was so bad we had to throw away the water hose and buy a new one. And I had used their laundry before I knew the water was bad. We had to go to another laundry and wash our clothes twice to get them clean looking and smelling. Learn a valuable lesson on this trip. Thank you for this video it really explains the different filters. Safe travels.

I absolutely love the Clear 2 O filter! We used the blue filter last year and it just didn't do a good job. I switched to the green Clear2O filter and wow what a huge improvement! It removed that sulfur smell you get with most well water and it actually tastes good. We can actually used the water drinker faucets in the camper! Well worth the extra money for it.

@bruceswarts9323 3 года назад

Just for reference from a carbon service guy: The term "channeling" is used for the water passing thru filter without proper contact of the granules. I have a Clear Source 3 stage using carbon block and .5 micron rating. Can be mounted.

@williamlambert2865 3 года назад

Love how you two break things down, easy to understand what you’re telling us about. Will be looking for C2 0 filtering system. Now my question for you, would you still use a deionized or does the Clear 2 O do the same. I love the duel canisters system, would love to install in line with house with third bringing everything down to 1 micron. Thanks for a great video.

@todayissomeday 3 года назад

We do not deionize.

@donrimel7500 3 года назад

You guys did a great job on the filter options. I was concerned that the canister option did not have a 1 micron filter until you added the third filter to make it a three stage filter. So far we are liking the inline Clear2O inline two stage filter. While we are really happy to have the improved filtration for our fresh water tank, we still use a Berkey to provide additional filtration for our drinking and cooking water. We view the inline and most canister solutions even down to 1 micron one to use with "city" water at an RV park or other source. We think Clear2O is a solid product. The Berkey has a 0.024 to 0.026 micron filter and can filter almost any non-potable source. We originally purchased it before our RV since we live in Florida and wanted to have a way to have water when city water was not available after storms or hurricanes. Now that we are traveling in our RV we can use the Berkey to extend our Boondocking time if we are near a water source and choose to filter it with the Berkey. Thanks again for a great video on water filter options.

@easypeasytravelers2962 3 года назад

As always, excellent information. We have a Clear 2o in line filter and the filter that comes with the RV. We immediately noticed a difference in water smell and taste as soon as I installed the Clear 2o filter. I don't have a dirt guard yet, but that is on my long wish list items. Also, need to replace the house filter with the less than 1 micro filter you showed. My guess is that is not doing much since it is after the Clear 2o filter, so we might as well get a better filter there.

@Powerstroke98 Год назад

Since we tend to spend longer periods of time in one location, we also add the ‘On The Go’ water softener to our Tiffin. We don’t drink water from our rig, so we use the blue 20 micron at the hose, which goes to the water softener, then the ‘in house’ large white filter, and that’s it, other than our residential fridge, which has it’s own filter again, mainly used for ice-cubes. We only put water in our water tank from home, where the city has spent over a Billion $$ on a filtration system for the whole region, with clear Canadian water for the masses. Thanks Phil & Stacy for the explanation, as I’ll now be looking for the brand of filters you mentioned here…which reminds me, when I initially added a new filter to the wet bay, it took some flushing to get rid of the initial black sediment that comes from the filter we currently use!

@ajnwow1 3 года назад

@brucerozett164 3 года назад

You missed one. We use the Frizzlife MV99 RV water filter system. It is also solid block carbon and filters to 0.5 microns. It is also certified by IAMPO R&T against NSF/ANSI 42&53. It has a replaceable cartridge and is designed so that you do not need to turn off the water supply to change it. And to top it off, it includes a pressure regulator. We've used it for about four months and are very pleased with it. And like almost everything else, it is available on Amazon.

@BrokenDreamsReborn 3 года назад

We started with the blue inline filter that everyone starts with and then switched to the Clear20 green one because the blue one started to have charcoal particles flake off in the hose and it was not good. Even after we starting using the Clear20 we still bought Spring Water because we sill did not believe it was good to drink from the tap but after watching your video we started to drink from the tap and it tastes great plus the 1 gallon jugs of Spring Water was getting harder to find and taking up to much room in the RV. The only downside we see for the Clear20 is that the water pressure is even lower but we just fill our freshwater tank and use our water pump and that seems to help a lot when taking showers, etc. Thanks for sharing! ~ Shion and Matthew

@ruthgumataotao1792 2 года назад

We bought the green Clear2O filter and dirt guard last summer. Did the five minute flush prior to hooking up the filter/guard. Water was clear but the well water smell was still present. Will try installing the third stage filter. Thank you for the information.

Because I live in southeastern GA, we have high concentration of sulfur in our water. The house water goes through a huge tank that aerates the water and sulfur escapes. Our outside faucet is not run thru this system so when I went to Walmart, I saw the Clear2 0 filter that stated it removes sulfur!! Naturally the box only had one in it which also told me that it's the one to use. Our drinking water will be run thru our much loved Travel Berkey. Thanks for confirming that I did the right thing!!!

Berkey! It has the limitations of just being for drinking and takes up a lot of space, but we haven't found anything that beats it! We also use the Clear20 as well but we also add a 5 Micron in addition to the two Clear 20 (20 micron particle and the 1 micron inline). We also use the On the Go water softner. That handles the whole camper and then we travel with the Travel Berkey for drinking and cooking! The whole system works well! Thank you for the great video!

@NoGasWelcomeAboard 3 года назад

Totally agree -For drinking/cooking from sources of unknown quality like all RV’ers encounter on the road, nothing better than Berkey. However, have found my Berkey doesn’t like water from traditional water softeners that recharge using salt.

@andrewk1916 3 года назад

@@NoGasWelcomeAboard That's really good to know, we haven't seen or had the issue yet with the berkey using the On the Go water softner yet but do know that Berkey does not recommend softned water to be put through their water coolers. Any symptoms that you can point to to say here is where the Berkey has a problem with the softened water? Doe it filter slower or somehow becomes clogged? Its hard for me to rationalize how putting water with less stuff in it clogs the Bekey's filters. Nonetheless, I appreciate the insight and will continue to check the berkey! Thanks!

@NoGasWelcomeAboard 3 года назад

@@andrewk1916 Four years ago we moved into a house with softened water, so naturally filled the coach tank with that water before our first trip. That’s when I noticed the Berkey water tasting super salty. Transitioned to good old well water for the Berkey at the CG & the salty taste went away. Maybe it was a fluke, but from that point forward I have avoided using softened water in the Berkey and have never encountered that salty taste again.

@andrewk1916 3 года назад

@@NoGasWelcomeAboard Thanks for the follow-up and pointing the symptoms to watch for with eh Berkey and softened water! WE haven't experienced that with the our portable but that's not to say we're not doing something wrong- maybe it needs to be recharged! Or maybe we put a junction prior to the softener after the filters and fill from there to see if there is a difference. We appreciate the insight and sharing your experience with the two systems!

@kennethdebbiedavis865 3 года назад

@@andrewk1916 guys try putting the softener between 2 filters. Pre filter for contaminants then soften then filter again to remove some of the sodium. The standard house filter with a carbon element should work. It does fine in our rig. But the important thing is the softener is protecting your entire rig from corrosion and calcium build up.
