Clearsource NOMAD RV Water Filter System

Overview

The Clearsource NOMAD RV Water Filter System is a heavy-duty, self-powered filtration solution engineered for RVers who need clean, potable water anywhere — even off-grid. Unlike traditional inline filters that only treat campground water, the NOMAD includes a 12-volt powered pump and multi-stage filtration that can draw water from lakes, streams, or low-pressure sources and deliver safe, great-tasting water for full RV use.

Built with rugged construction and commercial-grade filtration elements, the NOMAD is ideal for boondockers, overlanders, and full-time RV owners seeking both independence and reliability.

Key Features

• 12-volt powered 15-amp pump draws water from up to 20 feet vertically or 100 feet horizontally
  
• Dual-stage filters remove sediment, chlorine, VOCs, bacteria (E. coli, Salmonella, Legionella), cysts (Giardia), viruses, and heavy metals such as lead and iron
  
• Flow rate up to 4.9 gallons per minute for full RV water pressure
  
• Powder-coated steel frame for durability and outdoor exposure
  
• Standard hose fittings compatible with most RV freshwater systems
  

RV Use Cases

• Draws water from natural sources (lakes, streams, wells) while boondocking or dry camping
  
• Filters poor-quality municipal or campground water for safe drinking and cooking
  
• Protects plumbing, appliances, and fixtures from sediment and microbial contamination
  
• Perfect for off-grid RVers or extended stays in remote areas
  

Common User Feedback

Pros:

• Exceptional filtration and contaminant removal performance
  
• Can operate independently of pressurized water systems
  
• Rugged, high-quality build suited for long-term outdoor use
  

Cons:

• Higher initial investment than standard RV filters
  
• Bulky and heavy compared to compact inline filters
  
• Requires 12-volt power source for operation
  

Best Practices

1. Mount securely and level near your RV’s freshwater inlet; ensure proper 12-volt wiring and fuse protection.
   
2. Flush filters before first use to remove carbon dust and new-filter residue.
   
3. Use a pressure regulator if connecting to city water with high pressure.
   
4. Replace filters regularly (typically every 2,000 gallons or 6 months).
   
5. Store dry and secure to prevent freezing or theft during travel.
   

Inspector’s Note (RV Pro Solutions Insight)

As an NRVIA Certified Inspector, I’ve inspected hundreds of RVs with underperforming or inadequate filtration setups. The Clearsource NOMAD is built for those who refuse to compromise on water quality — whether you’re filling from a well, a campground, or a mountain stream. Its performance and build quality make it one of the best off-grid water systems available for serious RV travelers.
