Camco RV Water Filter 5 Micron Polypropylene

Description

Product Overview

The Camco RV Water Filter Replacement Cartridge is engineered for reliable freshwater filtration on the road. Constructed from a durable polypropylene (PP) shell, the cartridge houses a 5‑micron filtration media that captures sediments, rust particles, and micro‑contaminants. Integrated KDF (Kinetic Degradation Fluxion) material actively reduces bacterial growth, while a bed of granulated activated carbon (GAC) neutralizes chlorine, bad taste, and odors. Certified by NSF/ANSI 372 as lead‑free, this filter meets stringent safety standards and is sized to fit Camco model 40621 installations.

Usage

Designed for RVs, campers, and mobile homes, this cartridge is ideal for anyone seeking clean water during road trips, weekend getaways, or extended boondocking. Install it in the fresh‑water line to filter water for drinking, cooking, and showering. The long‑lasting design provides up to one full camping season of service before replacement, making it a cost‑effective solution for families, solo travelers, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

FAQ

How often should I replace the cartridge?

The cartridge fits Camco model 40621 and other standard 1‑count RV water filter housings. Verify your housing size before purchase.

Can the filter remove bacteria and viruses?

The KDF media reduces bacterial growth, but the cartridge is not rated for virus removal. For full pathogen protection, pair it with a UV sterilizer.

What does NSF certification mean?

NSF certification confirms the filter meets strict standards for lead‑free construction and contaminant reduction, ensuring safe drinking water.

Will the filter affect water pressure?

The 5‑micron design maintains a strong flow rate, so you should notice minimal pressure loss during normal use.
