kitchen faucet water filter

Anyone has one installed and if so what brand did you use? Trying to avoid bringing cases of water. I have a 301BQ model .Don't know if the kitchen sink faucets vary.

We just put a carbon filter out on the hose and bring the bottled water. Have thought about getting a filter water pitcher but the bottles work well for us.

We use a Pur faucet mounted filter and change the cartridge when we winterize. Bottled water while on the road.

After our first season and running into some sediment we are going to a two filter system with a 1 micron sediment filter and a 1 micron carbon filter that attach at the CG hose bib.

If you do something like this you can forget the water bottles. Your water will be as pure as anything you get in a bottle. Easy solution. We used it for years while full-timing and it worked like a charm. You can get a variety of second filters depending on your need. The folks at rvwaterfilterstore are full-timers and know their business. Give them a call and leave the bottles at home!

Does the RV not currently have a water filter? Most come with a filter in place already.

Thanks everyone. I was hoping to hear that a filter install of some type would eliminate need to bring bottled water. Looks like I'll get the camco and bottles.

I've seen an option for the Keystones that puts a filter on the output of the pump.

The 2014 Laredo 312RE is not equipped with such.

Appreciate the thoughts everyone. I'm not squeamish about drinking my own well water or most any other water, so that's not an issue.

I was just mostly curious if anyone else had very hard water and decided it was worth doing anything about it on the TT for water system longevity. Didn't know if RV pumps and what-not have any differences that don't like hard water.

Sounds like some do; some don't. Also sounds like other than for personal preference, it's no big deal.

Again, thanks.
