Dear Dave,
I purchased a three canister system with a 5 micron, a 1 micron and a 0.5 micron carbon filter. What order should i install the filters? Thanks, John
Hello John,
The order of the filters should put the largest sediment first (5 micron), 2nd canister should have the next largest sediment (1 micron), and the third should have the carbon filter. Think of the filter system as a funnel, going from wide to narrow. If you put the finest filters ahead of the coarsest, the first filter would be the only one working.
Thanks for your inquiry and safe travels!

Dear Dave,
I bought a dual canister system from you a year or so ago. I’ve had it mounted inside, but traded my RV. I think I will just use it from the outside now. Do you have a ground mount for this? Something you push into the ground.
Thanks, Dennis

Dear Dave,
What 10″ standard size rv water filter do you have which makes Phoenix drinking water taste good?
Thanks, Roseanne
Hello Rosanne,
I am not sure ANYTHING will make Phoenix water taste good, but we can definitely improve it! There are two essentials on the road to getting safe clean water. Removing the sediment and removing chemicals, taste and odor. Our ESSENTIAL System does just that, as well as filtering cysts (giardia and cryptosporidium), lead and heavy metals. This is a great start, but in Phoenix you may also have very hard water with calcium and magnesium that cause scaling and white residue in the shower or in the plumbing. To remove this requires either reverse osmosis or a water softener. Our most popular water softener is the Double Standard On the Go. For even more purity, you can install an under sink system like the DWDUC to remove fluoride, arsenic, chloramines, lead, heavy metals and more chlorine. I hope this helps!
Thanks for your inquiry and safe travels!

Dear Dave,
I am thinking about adding a water softener to the dual filter system that I have. should the water softener be installed before or after the filters? Is there any advantage either way? Thanks Dave

Dear Dave,
My water has a strong sulfur smell that is not coming from the RV Park water source. Any idea what could be causing the problem? Any guidance will be appreciated. Carol
