Ensuring clean and safe water should be a top priority for RV traveling and living. RV water filters play a crucial role in removing impurities, contaminants, and odors from the water supply, providing you with fresh and healthy water.

WHY RV WATER FILTERS ARE ESSENTIAL FOR CLEAN AND SAFE WATER

1. Eliminating harmful contaminants
RV water filters are designed to eliminate harmful contaminates that may be present in the water supply. This includes bacteria, viruses, protozoa and other microorganisms that can cause waterborne illnesses. By removing these contaminants, you can have peace of mind knowing that the water you and your family consume is safer and free from potential health risks.

2. Improving Water Taste and Odor
Have you ever experienced a strange taste or odor in the water from your RV taps? This can be due to various factors such as chlorine, sulfur, or other chemicals present in the water source. RV water filters are equipped to remove these unpleasant odors and tastes, enhancing the overall quality of the water and making it more enjoyable to drink and use for cooking.

3. Extending the Lifespan of Plumbing Systems
Using RV water filters can also help extend the lifespan of your RV's plumbing systems. Contaminants in the water, such as sediments and minerals, can cause clogs and corrosion in pipes, faucets, and water heaters. By filtering out these impurities, you can minimize the risk of costly repairs or replacements, ensuring that your plumbing systems remain in good condition for years to come.

4. Protecting Water-Using Appliances
In addition to plumbing systems, RV water filters also protect your water-using appliances. Sediments and minerals present in the water can accumulate in appliances such as coffee makers, ice machines, and washing machines, reducing their efficiency and lifespan. By using RV water filters, you can prevent these deposits from forming, leading too better performance and longevity of your appliances.

5. Preventing Stains and Scale Build Up
Hard water, which contains high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium, can lead to unsightly stains on sinks, faucets, and showerheads. It can also cause scale build-up in pipes and water heaters, reducing their efficiency. RV water filters can effectively remove these minerals, preventing stains and scale build-up, and keeping your RV's fixtures and appliances looking and functioning at their best.

6. Different Types of RV Water Filters
There are various types of RV water filters available on the market to suit different needs and preferences. Some popular options include inline filters, under-sink filters, and whole RV filters. Inline filters are easy to install and are placed between the water source and the RV, while under-sink filters are installed directly under the sink for enhanced filtration. Whole RV filters are installed at the water entry point, ensuring all water throughout the RV is filtered.

7. Regular Filter Replacement and Maintenance
To ensure the optimal performance of your RV water filters, regular replacement and maintenance are essential. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for replacing the filters at the recommended intervals. Additionally, ensure that you properly store and maintain your filters when not in use. This will help you maximize their lifespan and ensure that you continue to enjoy clean and safe water during your travels.

8. Final Thoughts
Investing in RV water filters is a wise decision for any RV enthusiast. Not only do they provide clean and safe water, but they also offer a range of benefits such as improved taste, extended lifespan of plumbing systems and appliances, and prevention of stains and scale build-up. With the wide variety of filters available, finding the right one for your RV's needs is easier than ever. Let's chat and find the right solution for you. Call us 813-820-8600

My AC is not cooling!

The general rule of thumb is that your AC unit will keep the inside about 20 degrees cooler than the outside. Some things that can help to increase the differential assuming that the site has little or no shade is if you can get a north facing site. Keeping the sun off of the windshield (in a motor home) makes a big difference. Use of window awnings can also help a lot. A MH with the big front window and all the side windows will heat up quick in direct sun.

Dual pane windows in the RV will help, or a reflective barrier on the inside of the window. Avoid the reflective window covers if there is dual pane windows already as the material may cause the dual pane seals to fail.

Make sure your filters have been cleaned. The AC will work harder to keep air circulating if the filters are not regularly cleaned. We personally do it monthly. Servicing your AC annually is also of great importance.

In the really hot areas most AC's will run non-stop. It can get annoying after a while, but without them it may be intolerable. Most RV's are not well insulated, so keeping the cool air inside is the challenge. Towables tend to struggle more to stay cool due to the lighter materials used in their construction to keep the overall weight of the rig down.

Also as a side note, keep an eye on the power usage while running max AC and various other devices. Some RV parks have older wiring and power outages or "brown outs" can be common as every RV in the park runs max AC units. Damage from low voltage can kill electronic appliances so only run what is absolutely necessary in the heat of the afternoon.

Recalls from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued recalls involving cracked and porous LP Gas Fittings that are extremely dangerous and could potentially cause catastrophic outcomes.

22,021 RVs with model years 2021 and 2022 from 8 RV manufacturers and 37 different models have RV propane components made by Texas based Flex Tech, which also has a plant in Goshen, IN.

These components were made with contaminated brass that can result in LP gas leaks and, a gas leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.

While the brass fittings may appear perfectly normal, the contamination created โ€œporosityโ€ in the metal. This may cause Life-Safety issues when the fitting is torqued down, it can crack and LP gas may escape.

Huge problems can occur for thousands of RV owners when one company makes the same exact part for a lot of RV manufacturers and defects in the components are discovered.

Federal Recall personnel at NHTSA, the federal agency in charge of vehicle safety recalls, announced the recalls quietly and itโ€™s been said that recall notices are not scheduled to go out until July 1st, putting thousands of RVers at risk.
