You missed one. We use the Frizzlife MV99 RV water filter system. It is also solid block carbon and filters to 0.5 microns. It is also certified by IAMPO R&T against NSF/ANSI 42&53. It has a replaceable cartridge and is designed so that you do not need to turn off the water supply to change it. And to top it off, it includes a pressure regulator. We've used it for about four months and are very pleased with it. And like almost everything else, it is available on Amazon.
Thanks for sharing! I didnt know about this one.
I have the same one.
Great content as always you two! We're abt 3 yrs out from replacing our 19yo class A Tiffin with a newer model to full time in. These videos are pure GOLD in educating us on what to do. Thanks and keep 'em coming! GO NAVY! HOOYAH! V/R, ICCS(SS), USN Ret.
Great job guys!
Super good vid - Thanks! - Love the outtakes!
Great report guys. Thanks
Very well done and very useful information! Thanks for the PSA!
I love your channel and your pragmatic approach to RV life. Thank you for the great info!
Excellent video with really good information. We switched to the green Clear2O filter and pre-filter shortly after we went full time because the water quality varied so much between states. We noticed a huge difference in our water after switching.
Thank you so much for this helpful information. I always learn something from your videos that helps me along our RV adventures!
Thanks I needed to here this being a newbie in RVing.I appreciate all of your videos and talks.Wally
we just bought a berkey for our house and will be using it in the rv ! great and helpful review
We just bought a travel trailer. 4 days I’m! We are staying at one location for the summer and then we will travel down to Florida where we actually live. Thank you so much for the advice, help! It is an amazing gift you give the RV community.
You are welcome! Enjoy your adventure!!
Lots of great information on water filter. Thanks for this detailed explanation. Good job
Well done! This is a huge help for me.
Loved, loved, loved the colander comparison! I don’t rv but I watch you religiously every week. You two are great, thank you.
Great review guys. We love the Clear2o
This was a great review on filters, we have been looking at different ones for our camper.
Great video and explanation of each. I installed a clear choice on board double filter going thru an onboard water softner. Works great, just a lot of work doing it but worth it. No more hard water. Whewww.
Clear as mud, Big SMILES! Great lesson. Thanks!
I don't really need this information for my immediate purpose but it's interesting to know. Thanks.
Thank you both for taking the time to give us the information we need to make decisions for our own needs. We're workcamping in the Colorado rockies all summer. The campground is awesome, beautiful, but the water isn't smelling great coming out of the tap. The blue inline filter we have been using just isn't cutting it, so wee just ordered the Clear 2 O inline and dirt guard.
What a GREAT video, thank you. So glad I subscribed to this page.
Great video. Lots of very useful information.
Thanks... great research and presentation
Big fan of all your videos. Thank you for explaining water filtration and demonstrating the Clear2o solid carbon block vs the granulars inside the blue filter (everyone know it doesn't work). I have been using Clear2o since it first launched. And now I use the Dirtguard with my Clear2O inline filter. Never had any issues and I have recommended it to many of my RV friends.
Great info guys.
Great video! Thank you so much!
Just for reference from a carbon service guy: The term "channeling" is used for the water passing thru filter without proper contact of the granules. I have a Clear Source 3 stage using carbon block and .5 micron rating. Can be mounted.
VERY helpful video. The husband and I learned a ton. Thank you so much!
I've watched way too many water filtration RUclips videos and have been suffering from information overload. Your video cut through my mental fog. Our travel trailer has minimal basement storage, so canister filtration won't work for us. The inline filters are the only thing we can use easily. Thanks for making my decision easier.
Thanks for the info. I’ve been using the blue filters for ever, but need a new one so I’ll be upgrading!
Great information!
Great timing! I was getting ready to replace mine.
Thanks for the fantastic video. Excellent, easy to understand advice.
We just purchased a used 5th wheel. The previous owner used it as a 2nd residence in a park. They didn't use a water filter because they believed the park water was filtered. I'm heading to the store to get the Clear20 green inline. 👍
Super informative! Thank you for breaking that down.
Hope the Phil is recovering well.
Lou & Angie
Great video, thanks! 👍
Good info. Thank you.
Thank you for the excellent overview. I would highly recommend the RV water filter store as an option for everyone outfitting their RV water needs including but not limited to water filters, water filter housing, water softeners, hoses regulators etc. I did a lot of personal research and found this site and their staff very knowledgeable.They are an excellent family run business with high-quality products.
You two are the best! Thanks for your contribution making our industry better.
You're the best!
Nice job folks!
I absolutely love the Clear 2 O filter! We used the blue filter last year and it just didn't do a good job. I switched to the green Clear2O filter and wow what a huge improvement! It removed that sulfur smell you get with most well water and it actually tastes good. We can actually used the water drinker faucets in the camper! Well worth the extra money for it.
I am convinced. I just ordered the inline and the dirt filter. Thanks!
You guys did a great job on the filter options. I was concerned that the canister option did not have a 1 micron filter until you added the third filter to make it a three stage filter.
So far we are liking the inline Clear2O inline two stage filter. While we are really happy to have the improved filtration for our fresh water tank, we still use a Berkey to provide additional filtration for our drinking and cooking water. We view the inline and most canister solutions even down to 1 micron one to use with "city" water at an RV park or other source. We think Clear2O is a solid product.
The Berkey has a 0.024 to 0.026 micron filter and can filter almost any non-potable source. We originally purchased it before our RV since we live in Florida and wanted to have a way to have water when city water was not available after storms or hurricanes. Now that we are traveling in our RV we can use the Berkey to extend our Boondocking time if we are near a water source and choose to filter it with the Berkey.
Thanks again for a great video on water filter options.
Good job you two
You should try a 90 degree angle on where you have that small "cheater" hose to take more pressure off.
Great Info! Thank you. I better understand and will stop by walmart to get the Clear products.
A great video full of incredible information! Thanks.
Our pleasure!
Very educational for us newbies! Thanks for the great info.
Thanks for watching!
Great video and great information, thanks for sharing with us! Safe Travels! Zoe and Ramon
We use a water filter canister. We use the Pentek/Pentair CFB-PB filter. It is a 0.5 micron carbon block filter and doesn’t significantly affect water flow.
Great video very informative, thanks for sharing and as always stay safe, safe travels and God bless love ya Nancy
Excellent demonstration!!!
Great information, thank you. Kevin
We have been using Clear2O filters, and were glad to find out about the solid carbon filter. That is really a game-changer! Thanks, folks!
Good info. Thanks. 👍🏽😀
Solid video on filters. I"ve been using a blue loose charcoal filter but i then run it into my Berkey inside the camper for solid charcoal filtering. Been RVing for almost 5 years now. Found you guys from the Hanks and I love the Today is Someday moto. Im selling my home and in process of trying to just make it happen. Thanks!
I learned a lot today!!! Thanks guys for this informative video 👍🏻
Our pleasure!
Great video! Very informative i learned alot thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
We even just ordered a jeep because of you thank you so much. And we will full time RV also. A huge thank you for your service and being such amazing people.
Thank YOU for doing this video. I will be starting my shuttle bus build in a few weeks. Looking at Water filters was confusing. This system will be perfect ....
It is a good day. I learned something I didn’t know before about the difference between solid carbon block and the granular carbon. Good to know. Thanks for the video!
Glad it was helpful!
This is very good information. I will be changing my inline set up now. Thanks so much for the video!
You're so welcome!
As always, excellent information. We have a Clear 2o in line filter and the filter that comes with the RV. We immediately noticed a difference in water smell and taste as soon as I installed the Clear 2o filter. I don't have a dirt guard yet, but that is on my long wish list items. Also, need to replace the house filter with the less than 1 micro filter you showed. My guess is that is not doing much since it is after the Clear 2o filter, so we might as well get a better filter there.
Holy Moley 😳😳 Thank you for giving us all information that's alot of work and is appreciated 😀 Safe Travels ❤
Our pleasure!
Love how you two break things down, easy to understand what you’re telling us about. Will be looking for C2 0 filtering system. Now my question for you, would you still use a deionized or does the Clear 2 O do the same. I love the duel canisters system, would love to install in line with house with third bringing everything down to 1 micron. Thanks for a great video.
We do not deionize.
Thanks for this video. This was perfect timing. I was debating on which system to get. I think I'm going with the canister system. Today was a perfect day.
Glad we could help
As always, we found this video very informative. This is an often-overlooked add-on to your RV. We have been using the two-stage canister Clearsource filter system with 5 and .2 micron filters for about 2 years. I agree with Phil, having a quick connection makes the setup much faster. To prevent making a mess when you first turn on a faucet in the RV, I make a point to purge the air out of the system and hose before I connect the water line to our RV.
Thanks for adding on! We appreciate it!
Phil & Stacy so much great information. Super thanks. Hope to see you both again sometime.
Our pleasure friend!! Yall take care.
We use a inline filter at the city water but we use a Zero water pitcher for our coffee and to drink. Every evening we run water through two Zero pitchers to have cold drinking water and the other for the coffee pot. We started this after getting some really bad water in Alaska. It was so bad we had to throw away the water hose and buy a new one. And I had used their laundry before I knew the water was bad. We had to go to another laundry and wash our clothes twice to get them clean looking and smelling. Learn a valuable lesson on this trip. Thank you for this video it really explains the different filters. Safe travels.
Yikes! sounds like you guys really had an ordeal at in Alaska! Thanks for sharing.
Well done guyz😉
Great info!
Glad it was helpful!
I just bought my first RV and I've been looking on RUclips for all types of information and this is one of the best ones as far as information on filters that information helps..
Thank you so much! I think I’ll go with the green c20 filter!
Excellent informative video. Let’s me know I am getting the green inline system.
Cool video thanks for sharing very helpful
You bet
Was pleasantly surprised to see you endorse the Clear-2O. I retired from 30 yrs public water supply operations (& seabees pwc, btw). I began using it when they first became available. Within 6 months it (both stages) saved my RV from massive mud and sludge contamination the blue would have allowed-at a 5⭐️ LA resort! Ive moved on to 3 stage cartridges plus softening but preach Clear-2O to anyone that asks. BTW:didn’t see any softening on your rig. Do you?
Thank you for the chapter markers, very helpful
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your service, Senior Chief! I was an MACS before going LDO.
Yes, figured as much by watching your channel. TY for yours as well!!
We were able to find both at Walmart in Sault Ste Marie. Love it!
Sure, I just bought 2 of the blues the other day. Hopefully I can return them. I didn't realize how little filtering was in them. Thanks for this video!
Great info.... Our RV we ordered is due in this month and we were looking to get an inline filter to install before the water hits the rv canister filter... Thank You.
You sold me! I have been wondering what type of water filter I should get for my new 5th wheel. I'll be buying the Clear 2-0 green inline filter this week. Thanks guys!
We use a standard whole house cartridge water filter. The replacement cartridges are better and cheaper than the inline filters. They don't clog as fast as the inline filters do. I'm building a two stage unit for less than $75 that will use a sediment filter as the first stage and the 1 micron carbon filter as the second stage. As a note, you can clean off the sediment filter just by rinsing it.
I have been using the dirt guard and the 1 micron filter and it really improves the taste of the water.
I want to thank you for making this video. We followed your recommendations and for our first RV trip we have enjoyed great tasting water !. In our previous trips water was a hit or miss. Now we know we will have great water.
Glad it was helpful!
Also love you music at the end of your videos.
thanks!
Going to Camping World tomorrow. Boy, the things I didn’t know. Thanks. Alan
Great info thanks so much😀
Anytime friend!
Perfect timing, was getting ready to order a canister system that costs $400 but now will be going with the Clear2o with the dirt guard. Thank you for the great info.
Glad I could help
If you were going to buy berkey filter canister still do it . It will be extra filtered water. Use in your home and camper.
Very informative video! Thanks so much for creating it!!
Glad it was helpful!
great job!
I use the same one as you ... frist time using it and I love it ....thanks for the info...
You are so welcome!
We started with the blue inline filter that everyone starts with and then switched to the Clear20 green one because the blue one started to have charcoal particles flake off in the hose and it was not good. Even after we starting using the Clear20 we still bought Spring Water because we sill did not believe it was good to drink from the tap but after watching your video we started to drink from the tap and it tastes great plus the 1 gallon jugs of Spring Water was getting harder to find and taking up to much room in the RV. The only downside we see for the Clear20 is that the water pressure is even lower but we just fill our freshwater tank and use our water pump and that seems to help a lot when taking showers, etc. Thanks for sharing! ~ Shion and Matthew
Very thorough thank you
Very welcome
Since we tend to spend longer periods of time in one location, we also add the ‘On The Go’ water softener to our Tiffin. We don’t drink water from our rig, so we use the blue 20 micron at the hose, which goes to the water softener, then the ‘in house’ large white filter, and that’s it, other than our residential fridge, which has it’s own filter again, mainly used for ice-cubes. We only put water in our water tank from home, where the city has spent over a Billion $$ on a filtration system for the whole region, with clear Canadian water for the masses. Thanks Phil & Stacy for the explanation, as I’ll now be looking for the brand of filters you mentioned here…which reminds me, when I initially added a new filter to the wet bay, it took some flushing to get rid of the initial black sediment that comes from the filter we currently use!
Really good video
I learned something new! Thank you for the information! We are weekenders with an occasional week long trip a year and have always used the blue...I would be switching to the green, which seems to be a good fit for us!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for another great video, guys! I’ve been using the “green” pair and can rally tell the difference. One thought - I place my pressure gauge/regulator on the coach end of the filter pair. I am less concerned with the pressure going into the filter than I am with the pressure leaving the filters for the coach. If I cant get adequate pressure the filters being clogged is a possibility, but if pressure is set upstream, low pressure to the coach could have a number of causes. (Just a thought - from an admitted techno-nerd!). You all continue to be the absolute best!!
Chris, don't do this. I learned the hard way. I am also using the pair of green Clear20 filters but once I hooked up to an RV park with the pressure regulator downstream rather than on the faucet. Unfortunately the water pressure was 90psi at the park, and it cracked the lid to the pre-filter, forcing me to buy pre-filter to replace it.
@@SuperSushidog Thanks for the info ‘ guidance! I will return to the conventional configuration!
We bought the green Clear2O filter and dirt guard last summer. Did the five minute flush prior to hooking up the filter/guard. Water was clear but the well water smell was still present. Will try installing the third stage filter. Thank you for the information.
Phil, just so you know, we used loose carbon granules for our green house filters at the State of California Pollution Research Center, and they worked perfectly. You don't need a solid carbon filter, as long as you have a carbon filter that is filled with activated carbon. The activated carbon, in any setup will attract the pollutants.
I think this depends on if the filter is upright consistently or if people use it laying on its side. We’ve used loose in our RV system and never had a major problem except for Florida water that nothing seems to filter well.
Great infomercial for Clear 2 O
