  • Can I Use Camco RV Water Filter To Filter Hot Water That Smells Bad
  • The Camco RV and Marine Premium Water Filter w/ Replaceable Cartridge and Hose Extension part # CAM40631 is meant to be used on the main water line on the exterior of the trailer. I contacted Camco and there would not be a way to connect a hot water line to the filter because it is designed to be hooked to a hose. It is also not made to filter hot water. Currently all of the water filters that we carry are exterior filters. It sounds like once the water gets into your water heater it...

  • Are Filters for Clearsource Ultra and Nomad Water Filter Systems the Same
  • The Clearsource Ultra RV Water Filter System w/ VirusGuard # CS87FR uses the replacement filter kit # CS49FR while the Clearsource Nomad RV Water Filter System w/ VirusGuard # CS67FR uses the replacement filter kit # CS39FR. The VirusGuard Filter # CS69FR is the same for both kits but the Nomad uses the 1st Stage Filter # CS79FR while the Ultra uses the 2nd Stage Filter # CS29FR as well as the Rust and Sediment Filter # CS89FR so the complete filter kits are not compatible with each other.

  • Can The Low-Flow Aerator On The RV Kitchen Faucet 277-000129 Be Removed For Cleaning
  • I spoke with the manufacturer of RV Kitchen Faucet w/ Pull Down Spout # 277-000129 and they were able to confirm the aerator is removable from the end of the pull down spout for cleaning. However, the aerator is not really designed to be a water filter and if you are having issues with sand getting into the water tank I recommend to add the water filter # CAM40631. The water filter will help clean the water before it even enters the RV.

  • Can Brita Filter be Used with Empire Faucets RV Touchless Kitchen Faucet
  • If you're talking about the Brita filter that is connected to the end of the spout then you need a standard faucet like the Empire Faucets # EM65FR. If you were to use the Empire Faucets # EM23PR then the filter would cover up that sensor and you would essentially have a standard faucet at that point. What I recommend doing is using the Empire Faucets # EM23PR that has the motion sensor and then adding a filter prior to the faucet like what we see with the AquaFresh Exterior Water Filter...

  • Is Clearsource Nomad RV Water Filter System Loud
  • We can't run and test decibel noises from 30 feet away for the Clearsource Nomad RV Water Filter System w/ VirusGuard - 2 Canister - Outdoor # CS67FR.

I asked about the Clearsource Nomad # CS67FR in relation to a generator, for example, and they said it wasn't anything like that in regards to noise.
