SPECIAL REPORT: New In-Line Water Filter
I have always recommended the use of water filters for travelers in campers, RV’s and boats. We fill our tanks with different water on every trip. Although the water is “safe” according to federal standards, it can have “off” tastes, odors and even colors. They ruin your coffee, rice, ice cubes, laundry and the way your hair feels after a shampoo.
Now a new, in-line filter makes it easier than ever to install a slender, effective filter. Best of all at replacement time, the entire assembly is changed with only a few twists of the wrench. Almost anyone can do it. If you’ve every wrangled with installing or replacing bulky filter cartridges, you get the picture.
When I was asked to field-test the new Campbell In-Line Water Filter, I took one look and knew it was a winner. The installation in a cramped, under-sink cabinet was quick and trouble-free. The unit is even compact enough to use on pedestal sinks.
As for technical specifications, this model’s MicroGuard technology reduces bacteria and viruses 99.99%, cysts 99.95%, and “forever” chemicals such as PFAS by 95% according to the manufacturer’s internal testing. Heavy metals such as lead, copper and iron are found to be reduced more than 85% by a third party independent laboratory. Best of all, it’s made in the USA. I found the complete assembly in a handy blister pack at Walmart for $110. Prices may vary where you are.
