🎥 IN THIS EPISODE → We Found the BEST RV Water Filtration for RV Living
We have finally found a solution to our RV water filtration after our currently system kept failing. We finally found something that will properly filter our water and fit in our basement on travel days. I was beginning to think that we would never find something that meets both requirements!

I use the best in line clear water 1 micron filter. Then use the affordable ZeroWater Filter 22 cup drinking water dispenser system. The replacement filters are $15 ea and when you buy 4 to 6pack it goes to $10. Original investment is 30,00. And i use an average of 5 filters per year.
We use a ZeroWater pitcher for our drinking water. Removes 99.6 total dissolved solids.
Comes with a TDS meter.
I don’t think it does pesticides though does it?
I use a ClearSource ultra, but this seems like a more thorough solution. My water is Absolutely 100 percent better and we drink from the faucet now, coffee etc so not disappointed with the ClearSource but always looking for better water.
I have the Clear Source Ultra with Virus Guard. 0.5 microns. Then I have a Pro Aqua Pro water softener. I also added an APEC Reverse Osmosis and the Acuva UV filter. These are all permanently installed inside my fifth wheel. I also installed this system so that the water goes through the triple filter then water softener and then into the fresh water tank. I swapped the quick connects that you are using to cam lock quick connects, these are industrial grade, same type of quick connects used for refueling trucks, aircraft, etc. totally delighted with my system. The Clear source is a much taller filter, which is a disadvantage for size and storage, but the filters won’t require changing as often. So I simply connect the water from the city to the rv because my system is permanently installed. No worry about freezing, heat, time to setup or theft.
Sounds awesome. I just became aware of the cam locks. I will be looking into those as well.
Love our clear source as well! But the virus guard is actually 0.01 micron. The middle one is .5 and first one is 5. I just emailed them to double check (I thought it was .02) I’m going to into the cam locks as well and change out quick connections. Never heard of them. Amazon? Thanks for the info!
Just hit our 2 year full time anniversary on Sunday. We watched a lot of full time videos before we left since we had only been weekend warriors for 20 years. I knew all about campground water! We always brought jugs from home for us and pups. We saw you guys and some others had the clear2o. We loved it! At first. It really does do a good job but we kept loosing pressure. The worse the water was the faster we lost pressure because the filters clogged. So they for sure did their job but couldn’t afford to keep replacing the filters! And the lid cracked 6 months ago and they did send me a new one for free which was awesome. We still use the big dirt guard as our main 20 micron dirt filter in hopes to keep our other filters clean. When it breaks finally we will just use one of the blue ones that we bought when the green ones wouldn’t give us pressure anymore.
So we did lots more research on all brands and decided to go with clear source 3 stage with virus guard and also the on the go water softner. We love the system. It wasn’t cheap but I can drink it. And we drink a lot of water! I would have to buy way to much so the system was worth it. We fit the outside version with metal case and one side is totally solid which faces out. We push it under the rig a bit and also bike lock that and the softner to the frame. Then when we leave they both fit right in the compartment and if we go. I went with the virus guard even though it was a bit more money but it goes down way lower than any other I have seen. I wanted to verify the microns because for some reason they don’t post it. I remember having to ask before we bought it. The box for filters might say but I don’t have it anymore. But they Emailed me right back and the virus filter is 0.01 microns. So we use.. our old green clear2o first 20 micron then our 3 stage clear source 5 micron, 0.5 micron and 0.01. I’ll attach some pics. Don’t have one on rig we are traveling but can take it when we arrive if anyone wants. But I’ll attach screenshot from their site if anyone wants to see it. We are super happy with it and it’s been 1.5 years. Flow never changes and filters last much longer. So worth it for us. And customer service has been on point!! Even yesterday when I sent a email to ask microns Of virus guard. Your system looks awesome too. Can’t wait to hear how you like it. I like that’s it’s smaller. And love the connections!! We have stainless on the clear source but we cheaped out with plastic quick connects. Gonna look for the ones you guys have. They look fantastic!! Worth the money!!
Glad you found a reliable set up. Having good water is a must for us. We looked at the same set up, but I wanted something more compact due to space constraints.
We are down to 9 months till we are full timers and took your advice did some of our own research and just bought the bundle using your code!! Thanks for this video!!
That is awesome!
🎉🎉🎉🎉 We have been using Blue Tech for 7 months now. And, love it. Great taste, great water flow, and safe water. We also use a water softener but not Blue Tech….not yet anyway. The water softener will also protect the water heater anode rods as they last longer.
We meet you and Phil at the “Mobile Must Have” table at the Escapade in Tucson-We had just bought the whole “BLU” system and we really love it -Working really good 👍 😊
We have been using the Clearsource Water Filter system for several years now and even though it is a little bigger, we have been happy with it.
Nice video. I think most people just grab the filters at Walmart and other places like ya'll said, thinking that a water filter was a water filter, and they were all the same.
Thanks for bringing the issue into the light. I figure a lot of folks, after seeing this will start looking at the filter systems.
If all they use water system for is to bath and wash dishes, doesn't make that much difference I guess, but if drink it or cook with it, might be a good idea to get a better filtration system.
Thanks again, guys. God bless ya'll and stay safe on the road.
We will definitely be watching for your results! My wife is VERY sensitive to her drinking water so this might be right up her alley!
Same here! Always good to hear real-world experiences. 😄
We love our Clear2O and Dirtguard and been using for a couple years. Our water has been much improved and based on your previous recommendation. As for this system, not all Rvers get a free product to review and can afford to invest in a $400+ product. The Blutech filters are half the size, so this means half the capacity. Changing filters more frequently, thus more cost. We use a OntheGO softener and haven't had any issues. Your RV water tank is plastic, do you sanitize it? If your concern about plastic is true, aren't you re-contaminating the filtered water by putting it in your tank? Sorry, this video sounds like the home shopping network.
The water tank in the RV will really only be used for when you're boondocking and you shouldn't be drinking from that. So drinking water would have to be some other source entirely. This is really only going to be used when you have water hookup at a campground.
Remember also the lines are plastic in the RV. They all should be bpa free
And they're made right here in Michigan. The only filter I have right now is the big one in a canister like you showed but I have been investigating a more robust system. I think I'm going with this one. Why? I like the compact size and the stainless steel hoses and fittings. Although brass is not too bad it will corrode over time and get a little rough thereby wearing o-rings. I talked to these guys at the Tampa show and the 3 cartridges are $55 and need to be replaced about every 3 months they said. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
We recently switched from Clear2O to ClearSource with .05 microns as the smallest filter. We also have an Acuva ultraviolet water purifier that is inline to our water dispenser in the fridge and a faucet over the sink for drinking water. We use an On-the-Go water softener. We are definitely interested in your experience with Blu because the form factor will likely fit in our water bay so we don’t have to have it outside the rig. The ClearSource is a really big solution, pretty heavy, and a PITA to pack up and carry around. Looking forward to your updates.
Thanks for the informative video, I was looking for a solution to the problem of hauling so much bottled water on my RV trips. The current trip is only a week long, but I hauled 4.5 gal of water, mostly for coffee, plus some small bottles for drinking away from the trailer. I have been using the obligatory CAMCO blue cylinder and want better quality water. The water weight/cost is starting to cut into my beer supply. Something had to go, and as an old retired widower, it wasn't going to be the beer! Thanks for the 5% discount that I received from these folks with my order. Their sale price for this completely stainless model is $100.00 below the cost of the blue plastic and stainless unit sold on AMAZON, before my discount.. A really good deal for me. I enjoy your videos, and your no BS approach; and subscribed finally . Travel safely and have fun.
Great video! I have been using Blu for almost a year now and love the system!! Blu is small enough that I was able to mount inside the basement where my single filter was so I never have to worry about someone walking off with it.
We only use camp water for showers and dish washing and do filter with a cheap in-line filter. Drinking and cooking water comes out of a jug. As a Class C owner we focus on not carrying extra stuff. Your setup is great if you have the space and depend on camp water. Also, I would be concerned about equipment thief when not around.
Isn't carry water jugs carrying "extra stuff"? Water isn't light.
We got the same system back during their Black Friday sale. We love it.
Love a good sale. I know we get a 5% discount because of Today is Someday. Wondering if we can get a better discount for being a veteran.
So just checked, no military or veteran discount. I may send them an email asking for one. Also, the 5% is still good.
@@RickC77 Blu tech does give a 7% discount for vets. I just got it yesterday.
When you were in the Navy, what did you filter the sea water down to before you gave it to the crew to drink and to use in cooking. These kinds of things can become a numbers game taking things beyond reasonable and prudent. I don't want to invest is a 0,02 micron filter if a 0.1 is all that makes sense. The Navy has probably determined what level of filtration makes sense!!
Bought this one last year and I really like it. You're correct, it doesn't slow down the flow at all. I first bought it because of the look and the size, but then I realize it's a great product.
Looks like a clean system. Only issue could be your plastic holding tank.
and plastic lines in MH
Hmmm. What about arsenic and all the other chemicals? I still use the Berkey water filter for drinking, besides the 3 stage filtration system coming into the RV.
We had a Forest River factory filter with a pretty decent filter cartridge for about 7 years. Two years ago we bought our current rig (Grand Design Reflection 315RLTS) and from the get go installed a ClearSource Ultra filter. I added my own soldered copper pipe fitting to it so that we could install into our storage bay end wise, right next to the Nautilus wet bay. Makes it so easy to connect both the input and output fittings from standing on the outside (within arms reach) and have had zero problems with water on our many travels. We are still vacationers, spending about 30 nights a year in the unit. We have seen the cost of filters go from $50 to $70 per set. One set lasts us for the year, but if full timing thinking we’d need 3-4 sets… so cost of filters will be an operating cost factor. Thinking your smaller filters are probably not half the cost, so you may have higher filter costs on an annual basis? ClearSource Ultra goes down to .5 micron. The unit is about $500 to buy, same as Blu so we don’t plan to change. We don’t get a free one like you guys do! Am interested in the softener, but my wife says has not been an issue yet. Love your channel and you both! Thank you for addressing water quality for your followers. Very important.
We use Clear 2O and have a two filter system. Pre stage is 5 micron and second filter is less than 1 micron. Been very pleased with Clear 2O.
Bought one and it's great. Much better than every other unit we've tried.
Oh our Riverstone it comes standard with a single blu technology filter ! But I use the three Clear Source filters and use the On The Go water softener when out west . But it is heavy. So I have been debating on changing to one of these.
Do it!!! You won’t regret it!
Just a heads up. When you are hooking up to the campsite or any spicket. Turn it on and let a couple gallons flush out the spicket. You woulden't belive the nastey water I have seen come out. Better to have that first slug of yuck on the ground than in your filters.
By the way Happy Easter to you!
We're using Clear20 brand 20 & 2 micron filters. Of course we do not drink tank or campground water: We carry jugs of Reverse Osmosis filtered water for drinking. I've considered getting a Berkey filter for occasions where we might run out of RO water, but haven't sprung for one yet.
We are currently using the SpiroPure in-line filter which filters down to 1 micron and is a salt free descaler. It is our first season using it so we shall see how it goes. Our travel style is extended weekenders- 2 week long RVers. For drinking water we fill a 3 gal bottle and have it on the counter.
We are using the Clearsource ultra. It has a 5 micron, 0.5 micron and a virus guard which is effective 0.02 micron.
We found this because the blue wasn’t available at the time. The Clearsource is bigger and heavier and I’m ok with that cause I permanently mounted in my 5th wheel basement.
I did however order the stainless steel hoses
I use clear source, filters down to .05 microns, I also have a water pressure at the inlet of the, when my pressure starts to drop after going through the filters, I know it is time to change my filters.
That's a great looking system. I run a 2 stage filtration system. The first filter is 5 micron and the second filter is 0.5 micron. Your new system looks great.
I've been using the "blue" water filters everyone uses but am looking for something better. Price is just a tad much for my weekend warrior self, lol. Great info to add to the arsenal of water filter info! Love your videos!!!
Just a weekend warrior using the Camco filters for now. We only camp about 20-30 nights a year, so I feel good about what we’re doing for now. But, I do look forward to your 6 month review on this as we will be increasing our camping now that we are empty nesters. Thanks for the info.
We use the blue Camco filter. Why? The quality of campground water is regulated by the municipal water system. It is subject to strict standards and testing. The thing we are worried about is scale, rust, and other debris from systems that may have to recover from events like being winterized or the occasional lack of use. The Camco serves that purpose. I don’t have a system like that in my house so why in my RV?
Great Video! Its about that time to do that review on how its going with the system!! Looking forward to see that video before ordering. Thanks
Flow thru the filter is based on incoming pressure and surface area of filter and micron size removal. I reached out to blu tech and mobile must have this is their reply From Blu Tech: In our lab tests, we see around 2.4-2.6 GPM of flow 60 PSI head pressure with our full bundle system, meaning all the hoses, the filters, and water softener. We generally see about a 10% drop in pressure through filters from the source flow rate. For a typical household/RV 1.6-2.0 GPM is a good water pressure, which is restricted down to that by the plumbing system itself. We optimized our system for city inlets, so we do have a lower flow rate than some competitors for freshwater filling. The flow rate will be higher than this when using our filtration systems with garden hoses. It is for city water, well water, or other pressurized sources. With a standard 3/4" Garden hose attached the system would flow 5.5 GPM at 60 PSI.
What about the table salt in the water softener and you are drinking that water. Are you getting any of that salt in the drinking water? If so the sodium would not be go for someone with high blood pressure. I’m not sure how that works but was thinking about the salt.
One more video proving you guys are top notch! Thanks!
Wow, thanks!
Thanks for this suggestion! We travel full time in a fifth wheel with 2 Labs and have to refill the Berkey a few times per day. This should eliminate that chore plus save counter space! Bought the MR3 Premium Bundle and your discount covered most of the South Dakota sales tax! Enjoying you guys on RV Unplugged competition too!!
Thanks! We have it installed in the rig now....stay tuned for the video.
Thank you as always for the great video and information! We hope to see you on the road someday 😊💕 You both have inspired us to join the RV life!
Built my own Rv filter system from Lowe’s and filter down to .5 microns. It cost about $50 to do.
Do you have a list what to buy?
@@dondevers they don’t show the one I used. A.O. Smith single stage 4 gpm whole house water filtration sym. $24.48. Used 3 like this
Two 3/4 inch brass nipples to connect the filter housing.
Two 3/4 pipe to garden hose adapter
One double female garden hose to hose adapter
Then 10 micron filter. A 5micron filter with carbon. A .5 micron filter with carbon.
Thank you Anthony!
Just the filters are more than $50, I went by your list and the total $175.00
Awesome information! I really enjoy your videos… keep up the good work. Lisa ( Wingman’s wife) 😊
I just purchased this at the Escapees rally in Tuscon this March. Love it.
We are ordering ours tomorrow, since today is Sunday!!! Thanks for the discount!!!!
Just purchased our MR3 using your discount code. Tyvm
Navy Veteran Rick Maya
Sweet! We love ours!!! Hand Salute! Go Navy!
Sweet! We love ours!!! Hand Salute! Go Navy!
I’ll keep our clear source and on the go softener. And everything is on quick disconnect and mounted so only have to make on connection at the water source.
Oh and at 1/2 the price
Glad you found one that works for you.
We’ve been using this for a couple months now and just finished filming our video…I was hoping to get ours out before all the big channels did 😂😂
Darn! i just bought The Clear Source system! And just embarking on a 4 month trip!
Just purchased this system at the Tampa RV show. So far so good!
Great to hear!
Thanks for all the usual information. Hope to meet you guys on the road. Thomyt
Guess I will have to do some research, cause we are just using the filtration system that came on our Alfa motorhome, for showering, cooking, etc. We drink bottled water.
We also have a 33AA, I’ll be interested in seeing how you mount it inside. We currently use an on the go softener and 5, 0.5 micron filters All sitting outside of our coach
We ordered today the bundle; however, we do not know when we will get it because they are already on backorder. We should have ordered instantly after watching your video. Thanks for the 5% discount.
Hopefully, they get restocked soon!
Update on the water filter system? I couldn’t find it in your videos
We were looking at this at the rally but we needed the internet bundle through them. We will be interested in your findings. We are using what came with our coach but getting to switch to the .5 micron with cocoanut filters.
We have the cheap filters but bring drinking water with us. Then we put THAT through the Brita pitcher cause that goes in the fridge. Dogs just get the water out of the big jugs. It would be much easier to just use “tap” water!
I think my solution is much better----beer! Looks like a good system but I think there is a missing piece and every video that I have watched including some from the Blue team and the Red team missed it. As the great one said{Ronald Reagan) trust but verify. Send a before and after sample out to a lab to be tested. No one that I have seen has done that. Also test after a couple of months to see any changes. Don't get me wrong I do think these systems work but I would have to see the data as I want to know. Love your stuff and Go Navy!
I love the pattern on your windows
Thanks for the awesome video! I love this system! Mobile Must Have is great!
What is your current code to save on the complete system?
Great video guys !! We use the clearsource ultra, 3 stage filter but man I wish this would have been out 3 years ago when we bought that. This would be the perfect height for mounting in our water bay. I currently have our system on its side because it's just too tall to stand up. Might be time for an upgrade... Thanks
Blu technology is not an upgrade from a Clearsource Virusguard Ultra. Blu tech is 0.2 microns, Virusguard is 0.02 microns. Massive difference.
Looks like a great system, i am worried about the system attracting thieves ????
Happy Easter! Thanks for the info.
I understand this is a incoming water filter, sounds great.
Are you going to by-pass the whole house filter you have now ?
Because this will not filter the fresh water tank.
Both tank and city water goes through the whole house filter, or am I mistaken?
Please advise if this is no5 correct,
This would be a great pre filter for the whole house.
Super cool system. Are you ever worried about theft?
No. We plan to install it inside the RV. Stay tuned.
How has Blue technology worked out for you? Have you sent your water that went thru the system out for testing. How often do you change the filters. Granted doing RV life water will be different from place to place. Thanx for the help
So far it has worked as advertised. We are going to check our filters once we leave Canada. We have not changed them yet. I have checked the softener and it is still good from the initial install. I have not had to regenerate it.
My bride and I are new to RVing. We just bought a class A Winnebago. We don't know much about the filtration system other than it is attached in the basement of the bus. Can this system be permanently mounted in the basement or does it need to be operated outside? Also, do you fill your bus with filtered water or is it just run to the drinking spout? We enjoy the videos as you are folks we can relate to as a retired military family (GO ARMY). Thank you
Thank you forthe information greatly appreciated
I'm sure its good.
But for that price.....you can build identical system and pick up filters from so many places or Amazon......cheaper. I've built many filters for saltwater aquariums. The big flashy ones and way over priced. If you want to buy it go for it. But please look into diy and save hundreds of dollars.
Hi Phil and Stacy,
Very interesting setup with BLU.
During this video my wife Lori noticed the digital picture frame with changing photos. Could you please tell us the make and where you purchased it?
Thanks in advance
Mike and Lori
Quick question guys; what do you do with your built-in filter in the wet bay? Leave it empty or use a fourth filter of some kind?
Keep the great videos coming.
The plan is to bypass it altogether. I just need to get to a place where I have the time to do it. Stay tuned.
I have the clear source unit it seems to be working. OK however I’ve had problems with the fittings leaking especially around the second filter. I think it’s cracked. Don’t like plastic at all. Can’t wait to hear. How are yours holds up thanks.
Kinda why we went looking for another set up. Our old system cracked on us 4 times!
This is a fairly expensive system aren’t you afraid someone might steal it or did you sit on the ground just for the video?
Have you thought of including a UV light along with your filtration system. The UV light kills any remaining bacteria or viruses that the filters don't catch.
Great video! Thank you!!!
Why the filter before the softener? I prefer to keep filter stack in the RV so it doesn’t freeze but that means the softener comes before the filters. Also, like to keep my pressure regulator inside as well because how do you keep it from freezing outside? I get “go somewhere warmer” but we don’t have that option.
Beach Lane 5 Micron and 0.5 Micron Filters… weekend warrior. and we bring bottled drinking water. If I was full-time, maybe I would invest in something as fancy as that. The hoses are cool, however!
@amop33 We were just looking at the Beech Lane because the price was so much better, but still filters to .5 microns. Does it restrict your water flow at all?
@@leemarlin7721 I haven’t noticed it restricting the water flow much. But honestly, I like to run off of my tank and the water pump even at a full hookup site. I just use that filter in line to fill up the tank and then use that way. I found that some parks have poor water pressure in general. Even the fancy water pressure regulators can reduce water pressure but typically don’t do a good job increasing. So far so good with that Beech Lane water filter. It came with a set of replacement filters as well.
All you need now is a pump to refill while lake or riverside. Any recommendations?
I just found your videos. Y'all are alot of fun to watch. I have a stupid question. Wouldn't it be better to put the water softener before the filter system? That way it takes out the minerals and such and the filtration system has less to filter out. Maybe making the filters last longer. Believe me I'm am not mechanically inclined so if this is dumb just say so. It won't hurt my feelings. Lol
Have you had a chance to see what difference it makes on the total dissolved solids (TDS)? If say you have 300 going into the system does it reduce the number significantly or at all. I have been looking for a system that will reduce it short of going with a RO system.
Thanks in advance
You mention your concern with plastic but isn't your water tank plastic? Also, water going into your tank is filtered with the BLU but how clean is the holding tank? Aren't you recontaminating the filtered water by putting it in your tank?.
Hi, I am new to the RV world. I currently use Zero Water 5 stage for my drinking. Is this product similar?
Thanks again for another quality, informative video. The question I have is doesn't the the "TASTY" granulated charcoal filter compact from the pressure of the water flow and thus allow the water to flow through virtually unfiltered in this phase? Is there a solid charcoal filter option? Thank you both for your service!
Not that I know of. We will report back when we have to replace them and how soon we had to do it.
we bought one as well!
Do you still get the minerals you need using the softener and water system?
Yes. It filters out the bad stuff.
What is the name of that water filter would like to get one for myself
this was a good 13 minute commercial. would have been nice if you done the same video after using it for a period of time
We plan to.
10:21 Oh, I thought the filters would be from your fresh water tank to your inside faucets. Do you have filters from your tank to your faucets? Do you add any bleach to your fresh water tank at any time/periodically?
No filters from the tank in. It is all filtered prior to going in the tank. We do sanitize the tank every 6 months. As full timers, the water doesn't sit n there long before being refilled.
Super video! Do you drink the "softened water?" or Do you have an RO filter under you sink?
That looks great! Is there a way to tell when the filters need replacing?
Not a visual way to tell, unless you are checking the filter and notice it has stuff in it. You will probably notice the taste isn't the same as it was when you first connected the system.
Soooo if im boondocking i could use this system to fill my RV water tank and jerry cans???
I am bran new to RVs and just bought a small motor home used and it was in storage and am thinking I will not want to drink water from the water storage tank just use that water for dishes and shower and drink from jerry cans until I can find someone to assure me how to properly clean the water tank
As for me this is useful information
Thank you
We always fill our water tank through the filters. You can also fill your cans the same way.
@@todayissomeday ok thank you!!
Super nice, but if you're not a big Utube channel it's really expensive
IMO
I use a reverse osmosis system that filters down to 0.0001 micron!!!!!
Ever think of hard wiring an RO unit in?
Great info.. thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Have you given a final review?
We still love everything about it. It has not given us a reason to doubt any one part of the filtration process.
Do you leave the filter and water softener on the ground and what do you do when it gets below freezing?
No. It is installed inside the rig. When it freezes outside, we disconnect everything and put it inside. Our rear furnace heats our wet bay.
How does it hook up to your internal water tank when boondocking or is that necessary?
We would fill the fresh tank and use our water pump. The system would have been used in pre filling the tank.
Has there been any update on this filtration system?
We love it! No issues. I did swap out the filters because we had bad water (boil policy). Mobile Must have came out and said that more info was done on the filters and we were to switch the middle (tasty) and last one (.02 micron) around. Makes sense now that I look at it.
