Hello everyone,
I am wishing to purchase a water filter system for our van. That is to treat water from CP outside tap through filter and then into the van.
What type and brand/ model do you suggest. My main concern is the minerals etc. that exist in some bore water which is supplied from CP's, that are located away from the main coastal towns.

thank you
Bob.

We had similar and it worked fine

The replacement filters were only about $15 each as well

The whole unit cost about $110 with 2 spare filters from a place in Geraldton

We have the twin filter system and a B.E.S.T. inline filter. We use the B.E.S.T. only and use it to fill our water tanks in both our van and camper. Takes up far less room than the twin filter and is lighter and in our humble opinion leaves the twin filter for dead. In our previous van we had fitted filters and would never go that way again. The 'mobile' ones are so much easier and have more diverse uses.

We filter water into the tank on camper trailer through a inline B.E.S.T. water filter have another one after pump to filter water to tap for drinking. No such thing as bad water. Excellent so I have now fitted a domestic one at home which replaces standard filter but must be a twin system with prefilter. Saw many of these in use by caravan owners on recent trip to WA. and everyone swears by them. Not cheap but good.
