Review on 🚰 Optimized Camco 40013 TastePURE KDF/Carbon Water Filter by Jon Delgado

Love the ease of use of this water filter. Unlike some filters that require permanent installation, this one simply installs directly onto the supply hose. The filter itself lasts about a camping season before the water quality begins to deteriorate. It is well made and has survived being left in a crate while traveling in two seasons. The presence of a short extension is necessary, since without it the filter will be installed either directly on the nozzle or on the trailer, which can break both. The water that comes out of the taps always tastes pure and using this filter I think eliminates some potential water issues when camping. The reason I deducted a star is twofold. First, one of the kits I bought had a short extension cord leaking. It wasn't because of the washer I replaced, but because the connection between the pipe and the internal thread was leaking. The other set didn't have this problem. Second, as with any filter, there is a sharp drop in water pressure. On many campsites this is not so noticeable, but there were places where I would have had to do without a filter because showering or washing dishes was almost impossible. As the filter is smaller this is to be expected, but in some cases a larger canister filter can provide better water flow. Overall, I enjoy using this filter for its ease of installation and durability, as well as its effectiveness in filtering water.
