Inspector’s Note (RV Pro Solutions Insight)

Filtering water from campground sources is a highly personal choice. While there are several options available, at a minimum, a basic filtration is a good place to start. A constant, reliable source of clean water is important not only for the family but also for family But four-legged companions traveling with you. Maintaining clean water in your RV system is more than just comfort — it’s about protecting your plumbing from buildup and corrosion. The Camco TastePURE is a solid, budget-friendly choice that I recommend to all RV owners as a first line of defense against poor-quality campground water.
