When it comes to selecting a water filter, the lower the "micron" rating, the more effective the filter. So the most effective water filter for removing nitrites would be the Clearsource Premier RV Water Filter System # CS77FR (outdoor) for exterior RV hookups and other exterior faucets. Or the Clearsource Onboard RV Water Filter System # CS27FR (indoor) for an indoor option that filters water from your RV park hookup.
Both of these options have a 0.2 micron rating which is the best rating... view full answer...
For an inline water filter, I recommend the Camco RV and Marine Disposable Water Filter w/ Hose Protector - KDF/Carbon # CAM40043. This will give you a 100 micron barrier to remove bacteria, odor, chlorine, and more. It is for 1 camping season use.
Another option is to use the Camco RV and Marine Premium Water Filter w/ Replaceable Cartridge and Hose Extension - KDF/Carbon # CAM40631 along with the Camco Replacement KDF/Carbon Filter Cartridge for RV and Marine Premium Water Filter... view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at Camco regarding the RV and Marine Premium Water Filter # CAM40631 referenced in your question. He stated that you can absolutely use this filter for your specific application. You will have no issue using this to filter the water in your on board fresh water tank via a foot operated pump.
The premium spun polypropylene filter will clean the water using 3 media and the replaceable filter cartridge is good for a full camping season. The filter housing, 12 inch... view full answer...
The Empire Faucet # EM65FR does not have ability to have a Pur water filter added to it but we do have water filtration systems that was designed for RVs like with the Camco RV and Marine Premium Water Filter # CAM40631. You could install this on your RV and then use the Empire faucet and you'd have filtered water like you are wanting and be able to use this faucet. view full answer...
RV antifreeze like what you'd use with the Camco RV Water Pump Winterization Kit part # CAM36543 will ruin water filters. You'd want to remove the filter and replace it with ti's bypass hose until it's spring time. view full answer...
The Camco RV and Marine Disposable Water Filter w/ Hose Protector # CAM40043 that you referenced is a KDF/Carbon style filter like what you have so this would work well for your garden. The filter uses KDF, carbon, and a 100 micron barrier to remove bacteria, bad odor, chlorine, and more. view full answer...
Yes, the Camco RV and Marine Disposable Water Filter part # CAM40043 is safe for drinking. That said, I do recommend you check to make sure the fresh water supply is potable before consuming but the above filter will do an excellent job of removing bacteria, bad odor, chlorine from this. view full answer...
Aerators aren't really designed to be filters as they are intended to add air to the water flow so that you don't need to use as much water. That is why the aerator of the Flow Max RV Kitchen Faucet # LC719325 was not designed to be removable. There would be filters already in place in your RV water system like the # CAM40043 which would prevent the aerator from having to act as a filter. view full answer...

CAMCO states that the Camco RV and Marine Disposable Water Filter # CAM40043 is basically only good for one camping season regardless of how much use it gets. So I can't really give you an exact gallon figure. But if you replace this at the beginning of every camping season you'll be good. view full answer...
As you mentioned, Camco does suggest simply placing the Disposable Water Filter # CAM40043 in a plastic bag and putting it in a refrigerator for longer term storage. You will want the refrigerator to be running/cold to help prevent bacteria from forming inside the part. view full answer...
We do not have a KW1-style replacement water filter, but I may have a better solution for you. The KW1 Style filter is unique to some Forest River RV's and as such may not be as easy to find as more common styles.
If it were me, I would replace the filter houseing with a Camco # CAM40631 Premium Water Filter System that filters out contaminates above 5 microns in size - same as KW1 spec. Works in any orientation including laying on the ground. (Remember when you have to fill your holding... view full answer...

When Should you Sanitize Your RV Water System
Do you notice a stale odor when using your water from the fresh water system? It usually occurs when water was left in the system for quite some time. It is time to sanitize the entire water system.
Has your RV been sitting for a month or more and the RV water system has not been used? It is time to sanitize the entire water system.
Have you filled your water tank then been informed that there is a boil water advisory? It is time to sanitize... view full answer...
The Camco Replacement KDF/Carbon Filter Cartridge part # CAM40621 is a direct replacement for the Camco RV and Marine Premium Water Filter part # CAM40631. It is a standard size filter that falls in the cci-10-clw type. If this is the same type filter that cam out of the original (which all signs point to it being that) then you should have no issues.
To fix this I would check the filter housing inside and make sure there is no build up or debris in the housing that may cause the filter... view full answer...
The Camco TastePure Drinking Water Freshener # CAM40206 is designed to prevent any algae or slime buildup in your fresh-water tank while also working to remove bad taste or odors. It will essentially help to keep the tank clean so it doesn't affect your water but it's not going to sanitize/purify the water itself.
For this you will want something like the Camco RV and Marine Premium Water Filter # CAM40631 that will purify water as it moves through the filter before entering your tap... view full answer...
While a water softener is not required it would be your preference to use it or not with the Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater # LSB44FR.
I do recommend at minimum using a In Line Water Filter # CAM40043 going into your camper. This will help to prevent the sediment and particles from getting into the coils of the water heater and restricting or damaging the unit. view full answer...
If you have the Valterra Waste Valve for RV Gray Water Tank, # T1001C installed to your 1-1/2" sewer pipe and this valve is then attached to a Valterra gray water drain adapter, # T01-0091VP, then to a garden hose, yes, I can see that you are draining slower than optimal.
My suggestion is to first remove that Valterra adapter, # T01-0091VP. This is usually put in place for purpose of attaching a garden hose to the tank for the purpose tank cleanout, not draining. Use this connection... view full answer...
Typically when an RV AC unit is dripping water it's because of a clogged drain tube that's preventing the condensation from being able to run off and drain. Instead it's forcing the water to drip in your interior.
It's an easy fix (clean out the debris accumulated). You can tell if this is the problem by looking to see if it is draining down over the roof now. view full answer...
Your fresh water hose is an easy recommendation, I suggest the Camco RV drinking water hose, 5/8" diameter at 75' Long, # CAM22803. This is a reinforced PVC hose for drinking water made of FDA-approved materials and BPA-free. Because you state that you are new to RV living I will make the suggestion that you also use a water pressure regulator, I suggest the Camco RV Water Pressure Regulator, # CAM40055. Please see the attached video for a visual of product. Because inconsistent water... view full answer...
