This is the year of budget-friendly camping and RVing here at The RV Atlas. With prices for just about EVERYTHING being higher than usual–we are always on the lookout for a bargain when it comes to camping gear and RV gadgets. Camco’s TastePURE water filter fits squarely into this criteria. It’s a great product at a great price that will provide your family with fresh drinking water on your next RV trip. Single use water bottles also get expensive fast–and they are bad for the environment. So next time you go camping leave those water bottles in the grocery store and use a TastePURE water filter instead.
Let’s take a quick look at why we love them and why we will be using them this summer–and all camping season long.
Camco is a sponsor of The RV Atlas podcast. As always, our thoughts and opinions are entirely our own.
TastePURE Water Filters are Made in the USA
Camco’s TastePURE water filter is made right here in the USA and purchasing one supports jobs and manufacturing in the great state of North Carolina. We love that Camco still makes quality products in the United States–and that those products are durable and competitively priced. When it comes to RV water filters–there are many cheap knockoffs–so make sure you are buying the genuine article from Camco which you can purchase right here for less than $20.
TastePURE Water Filters are Budget Friendly
A single TastePURE water filter costs less than 20 bucks, and 2 packs cost less than 30 bucks. That is a budget camping bargain in our book. We recommend buying a single filter first because the one-packs come with a no-kink flexible hose protector (see picture above) and then saving even more money by buying a two pack when you need replacements. The two-packs do not come with the no-kink flexible hose protector–but you only need one for your RV anyway. If you buy the one-pack first you will already have this nifty add on.
Almost 50,000 Reviews on Amazon
It’s hard to argue with a proven track record of success. Camco’s TastePURE water filter has almost 50,000 reviews on Amazon and an overall 4.5 star rating out of 5 possible stars. Reviewers often comment on the convenient size, reliability, and great price point. We agree with their sentiments on all fronts.
6 Stages of Filtration
When it comes to the TastePURE water filter the real highlight is the inclusion of 6 stages of filtration in one compact product. Here are the six stages in brief (also see above).
- Filter Hose Washer
- Pre-Filtration Layer
- Premium Activated Carbon
- Superior KDF Additive
- Post-Filtration Layer
- Spun Polypropylene Filter
Comes With a Certificate of Performance
Camco’s TastePURE water filter also comes with a certificate of performance that includes details about its United States Patent, Its United States manufacturing pedigree, and its NSF/ANSI certifications–and more. The inclusion of this certification is a strong differentiator between this USA made product–and its cheaply made copycat competitors from overseas.
You Can Sign Up for Reminders
Another nice touch that comes inside the TastePURE box is a scannable bar code that allows you to sign up for reminders to replace your water filter every three months. We signed up for reminders and we were also pleased to receive a 20 percent off coupon for Camco Outdoors. What’s not to love about that?
If you are looking for a budget-friendly RV water filter then you should definitely give the TastePURE a try. Don’t settle for the cheap knockoffs that are made overseas. Kudos to Camco for continuing to manufacture their products in Greensboro, North Carolina. As American RV owners that love to travel the highways and byways of this country–we should definitely buy USA made products whenever we can.
Thankfully, when it comes to water filtration for our RVs we can all definitely buy an American made product–and save money doing so.
