Clearsource Ultra RV Water Filter System

Premium-grade protection and water purity — my go-to recommendation for RVers who want bottled-water quality straight from their freshwater hookup.


Overview

The Clearsource Ultra RV Water Filter System is a premium, three-stage filtration unit engineered specifically for RV use. Designed to deliver exceptional water quality and flow, this system removes sediment, chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and even bacteria — providing safe, great-tasting water for drinking, cooking, and showering while protecting your RV’s plumbing and fixtures.

With rugged, powder-coated metal housing and oversized filter canisters, the Ultra is built for durability and high-capacity filtration. It’s a top-tier choice for RVers who demand reliable performance and clean water from any source, whether at a campground, well connection, or boondocking refill station.


Key Features

  • Three-stage filtration:
  • Stage 1: 5-micron sediment filter removes rust, silt, and debris
  • Stage 2: Coconut shell carbon block filter eliminates chlorine and VOCs
  • Stage 3: VirusGuard™ filter removes bacteria and cysts (down to 0.2 microns)
  • Sturdy powder-coated steel frame built for long-term outdoor use
  • High flow rate supports full RV water pressure without restriction
  • Standard garden hose fittings for quick connection
  • Replaceable filters compatible with Clearsource and standard-sized cartridges

RV Use Cases

  • Provides safe, clean drinking water directly from campground or well hookups
  • Protects water heaters, faucets, and appliances from sediment buildup
  • Essential for full-time RVers using variable or questionable water sources

Common User Feedback

Pros:

  • Outstanding water quality — noticeably cleaner and better-tasting
  • Heavy-duty build that withstands long-term outdoor exposure
  • High flow rate with minimal pressure loss

Cons:

  • Higher upfront cost than single-stage filters
  • Requires space for mounting or storage during travel
  • Filter replacements can be more expensive than budget models

Best Practices

  1. Setup at the water source: Connect directly between the campground spigot and your freshwater hose.
  2. Flush filters before use: Run several gallons through the system to clear carbon dust.
  3. Replace filters seasonally: Every 6 months or per manufacturer’s gallon rating.
  4. Store dry and protected: Avoid freezing and prolonged sun exposure when not in use.
