Camco Evo RV Water Filter - Features Granulated Activated Carbon for Bacteria Control & a Replaceable Premium Spun Polypropylene Filter Cartridge - Camper Essentials for Clean Drinking Water (40631)

I connected this inline to my water intake from RV park hydrant to pressure regulator to filter to my camper, in that order. Replace filter once a year at beginning of season, remove it at end of season sterilize and winterize water system.

I’ve seen a lot of rv’ers using these. I see why. Great way to purify water at campgrounds

Final update, I've used the filter with the replacement hose. All is good. Second Update: I received replacement hose, and it seems good. I still think they should make these with the same quality they make their drinking water hoses. First update: Within 24 hours, Camco got back to me. (good first step!) Camco offered to replace the hose with a tested one. After I receive this, and test it, I'll update this review (and my rating). Original review: I just received my Camco EVO water filter order from Amazon. The canister assembly seems pretty well designed and made. (Like there hoses). I have assembled it. When I attempted to attach the short connector hose to the canister, I discovered that it is nowhere near the same quality. The male end did not fit tightly, turned easily in the hose, and just pulled right off! (see photo) No wonder reviewers have complained of this leaking. Clearly this hose is NOT of the same quality as the fresh water hoses Camco makes. I've left a message on the support link found by clicking on the Technical Support button on the Amazon order page. I will update this review if Camco gets back to me and makes this right. What would be a more than satisfactory solution would be for them to send me a 4ft Camco water hose which can be found at this amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FD63M3P/ref=twister_B07PJVK52B?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 (They should make the connector hose for this the same way these hoses are made). I'll update this review if I get a satisfactory response from Camco with a day or two. If I don't, I'll be returning this filter to Amazon.

This water filter made the water at the campground taste great. It is easy to hook up and take down. The only problem is the little plastic connectors leak. Since I am constantly connecting and disconnecting the hoses for the unit I added in some metal L pipes onto the plastic adapters but the plastic adapters still leak at the place where they join the water filter. I haven't really tried to make them stop leaking as they are barely leaking but I think it shouldn't be too difficult to do if the filter was permanently installed. My problem is that I am constantly moving from campground to campground so I am always moving the unit. The filter is easy to get to and the unit is easy to drain for transport. I would purchase this unit again.

I bought this for a slightly unusual application -- for which it works brilliantly. Like many households, I have a multi-stage reverse osmosis water filter system under the kitchen sink. Every six months or so I'm supposed to change the filters, and for each of the charcoal filter cartridges I'm supposed to flush them for a few minutes before installing them. But how do you do that? It occurred to me that I could buy a single-cartridge housing and a few fittings, and run a garden hose through each filter to flush it for a few minutes. It's easy to buy the housings, and a little harder to find the right fittings, but when you add up the cost of the cheapest parts available it totals about the same cost as buying this kit. So I bought this kit. I was pleased to find that all the fittings are of high quality. For example, the core parts of the hose adapters are solid metal, rather than plastic. As you can see from the attached photo, pre-installation filter-flushing is now easy.

Once I got it installed, it worked great for about a week and then the filter popped off somehow and water was leaking everywhere. Now it’s too late for me to return it, I’m very frustrated!!!

Fantastic construction, very sturdy with excellent seals. Even includes teflon tape. Easy assembly with zero drops of water leaking during a half hour of high flow use. Filter is large enough to allow small pressure drop during use, so the flow rate is sustained at a high rate. A thoughtful plastic wrench is included to allow higher torque on the blue part when tightening the top cover. I did not need that tool, I was able to get a seal with just hand tightening. Everything seems to be of very high quality for a long life. Filtered over 100 gallons in just 15 minutes. I opened the housing and let everything dry completely before storage. Should last for many years. Great product.

I would like to start by saying that this product does work and very well at that, however - what makes it so irritating which resulted in it ending up on the roof of my workshop is that the assembly requires you to screw a metal object into a cheap plastic threaded hole. Understand that it you don’t screw it tightly it will leak, but screwing too much will result in damaging the plastic threading which ruins the entire product.

Easy to use, a works perfect, filters my brewing water perfect. replacement filters easy to find

Installed it in my RV easy to install simple to operate

Amazing difference in the taste of water in my RV. Easy to install and leaves no sediment in the in the sinks . Very impressed.

I haven't tested the filter efficiency yet but I'm very pleased with the over all quality and fittings that arrived packaged with this. It's very hard to fairly review the filtration efficiency unless tested alongside another unit so I cannot report on that. It's priced well and the replacement cartridge cost makes this premium unit well worth it in my mind.

I liked it enough to purchase a second unit. I found this system really works well but had to replace the filter cartridges fairly often to compensate for the amount of rust and sediment at our campsite. I plan to put two filters in series and use cheaper, but less effective, cartridges to filter out some of the sediment.
