water Filters
« on: May 16, 2012, 08:03:04 PM »
Thinking of putting an inline water filter inside the van  ?

Most seem to have a flow rate of only 3 or 4 lpm...

What does everyone use  ??.........I thought a flow rate of approx 10 to 20 lpm would be required  ??

I don't have one inside but I do use a B.E.S.T one when filling up the camper and have been very happy with it.

Gonk, I have one of these filters on my camper, just to the kitchen tap though.

It has worked well since I have used it, although I never had water dramas travelling, so maybe I am just kidding myself it helps.

Thanks fellas, there seems to be a few on e bay, but as most seem to be approx 3 lpm,  I might try for one at 10 or more lpm..

Yeah definitely get a higher flow rate.  I bought one (3lpm) for when filling the tank and with the garden tap on full, I reckon I could drink it just as fast.  Not a big deal as I'm not in a rush when filling, but I think having one on the sink tap would slow it down too much.

I'm not so good with advice... can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?
