Real-World Advice: Caravan Filtration
When you're travelling across Australia, water quality changes drastically from town to town. While standard inline filters are brilliant for saving space under tight RV sinks, our top recommendation for serious travellers is a twin-housing kit. Drawing bore water from outback stations will clog a single carbon filter in days; having a dedicated sediment pre-filter in a twin system takes the heavy hits, extending the life of your carbon block and keeping your drinking water clean.

Don't wait for your water pressure to drop to a trickle before changing your filter.
- For weekenders: Change your inline filter every 12 months.
- For full-time travellers: Carry spare cartridges and swap them every 6 months.
- Expert Tip: If you're filling your tanks from a suspect source, run the water through an external sediment filter before it hits your tank to stop sludge from accumulating inside your RV's plumbing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the CR20 inline filter and the CR45 twin kit?
The CR20 is a space-saving, all-in-one unit perfect for cramped RVs. The CR45 uses two separate housings (one for sediment, one for carbon), making it bulkier but far more effective at handling heavily contaminated outback water.
Are these suitable for both drinking and cooking?
Yes. Both systems are specifically built to pull out chlorine, bad tastes, and physical grit, making the water perfectly safe and pleasant for drinking and boiling.
How hard are they to install?
They are designed with the DIYer in mind. The inline compact style is the easiest—simply splicing into your existing cold water line. Twin housings take a bit more mounting work but use standard plumbing fittings.
Why use a water filter in a caravan?
Caravan water filters remove impurities, providing safer and better tasting water for drinking and cooking while on the road.
What types of filters are available for caravans?
The range includes compact carbon, deionising, and sediment filters tailored for caravans and RVs.
How often should caravan water filters be replaced?
Replacement frequency depends on usage and water quality, but most filters should be changed every 612 months.
Is delivery available Australia-wide?
