Water Filters

We alway used a single cartridge water filter when filling the tanks or when on mains pressure in Caravan Parks.

We use a carbon block innner at .5 micron to minimise giardia and the like, carbon to remove bad taste.

Cost about $100 at Caravan Accessory Stores, cartridges need to be replace every 12months at $40-$50 each.

Living in Adelaide we even have a Pura-Tap fitted in our kitchen.

Geoff here is a link for water hose

For filtering I use a Karcher in-line filter in the hose which removes all the particles prior to getting to the tank. This is a cleanable clear see through particle filter and available from Bunnings etc for $25.95. For the water filter I use a Jabsco AquaFilta from Bias Boating Cat No. 4910 for $88.90 and the replacement cartridge for $59.95 we change each 1st Jan. The important thing with this filter over most others is that it is impregnated with silver to prevent bacterial growth. This is important as camper filters are not used daily like home water filters. If you decide on a filter other than the Jabsco AquaFilta make sure it is impregnated with silver.

Thanks guys .....you've all been a real help, especially you David.

I found an in-line carbon filter with the silver coated crystals for $85.00 here locally (Southport, QLD).

Once again ..... thanks,
