Caravan, Campervan & RV Water Filters

Replacing cartridges

Change cartridges every 12 months, or sooner if the flow drops or chlorine taste comes back. If the van is parked up for a long spell, take the cartridges out of the housings and store them dry. Reorder by code: 10BPX05 and 10BRFGAC for the twin system, or ICF-5700 for the inline filter.

Quick checks

• Flow direction arrow points toward the van
• Hand-tighten fittings, no tools needed
• Flush a new cartridge for 3 minutes

Is caravan tank water safe to drink?

Only as safe as what went into it. Town supply is treated, but tanks pick up taste from the hose and plastic, and bore or rain water at campgrounds may carry sediment. Filtering on the way in keeps the tank cleaner; for water from an unknown source, boil before drinking or talk to us about UV.

Do I need a water filter for my campervan in NZ?

If you fill from campground taps and want water that tastes right and doesn't clog the pump, yes. The inline filter covers taste on town water; the twin system adds sediment removal for mixed supplies.

Sediment filter or carbon filter: what's the difference?

Sediment (10BPX05) physically traps particles down to 5 microns. Carbon (10BRFGAC, ICF-5700) adsorbs chlorine and the compounds behind taste and smell. Mixed supplies need both, sediment first.

How often should I change the cartridges?

Every 12 months, or earlier if flow drops or taste returns. Heavy use on tank water may need the sediment cartridge changed sooner.

Can I fit it myself?

Yes. Both options use standard hose fittings: hand-tighten, check the flow arrow, flush, and go. No plumber required.

Will it slow down filling the tank?

The twin system is designed for high flow with low pressure drop. The inline filter is rated at 1.9 litres a minute, fine for a tank fill. Fit a pressure-reducing valve if your supply is above 60 psi.

Does it remove bacteria?

No. These are sediment and carbon filters, not disinfection. If you need to treat microbiologically unsafe water, ask us about UV units sized for mobile use.
