Water filter with silver activated Carbon

I have two water tanks, one in my camper and one on the car. About a year ago while filling up with water in a remote country town I contaminated both water tanks with some black mold slime.

It took about a pound of bicarb soda washed through about 4 times to get rid of what ever it was and bring back clean water again.

Recently a good friend put me onto getting an inline water filter that you use while filling up the tank. I purchased a water filter with silver activated carbon that has garden hose fittings either end.

My question is does anyone else use a water filter with their camper?

How often - every fill or just when filling from unknown.

Mine came with instructions that you should store it in the fridge but not necessary.

When camping our fridge is full so where do others store their filter. I was thinking if I store in the upright position any residual water will drain out and not sit there to fester.
