Everpure Water Filter

[matthorr]

I just purchased a Everpure water filter kit and I would like to install it so both sinks get at least cold filtered water. Any suggestions for where / how to install the filter? Tips and/or tricks learned the hard way?

I've considered filtering all water leaving the pump (hot and cold, sinks and showers) or just the cold water on the street side. Either placing the filter in the mid-ship curbside wardrobe or under the sink in the bathroom (if I can find all the water lines there). Plan C will be to just put it under the kitchen sink, but I'd like to be able to get drinking water from the bathroom sink as well.

I have a 2012 25FB (International Signature).

Thanks.

Municipal water doesn't go through the pump, so there should be a "T" fitting (or possibly a "Y" fitting) a short distance downstream from the pump, with one inlet coming from the pump, and the other from the municipal water connection. Placing the filter immediately downstream from that fitting allows you to filter all the water you use, including the hot side since it's upstream from the water heater.

As for where to install it, I can't answer that due to a lack of familiarity with your exact floor plan. But make sure you've got access so that you can change out filter cartridges without creating a water leak. You may only be changing filters once a year given typical RV usage, but you'd want to remove the filter cartridge before adding antifreeze anyway so you might as well set it up to be as easy as possible to reach what you need.

We just bought an International Serenity 25 FB and what you want to do is not going to be easy. I settled for installing a filter on the cold water under the galley sink. Ease of access is most important to me. You could do the same under the head sink as the hose is easy to access. The water pump is under the curbside wardrobe and that is not a friendly place to change a filter.

Thanks for the inputs. I will look for the "T"/"Y" downstream of the water pump and see if I can install the filter in the back of the curbside wardrobe. I've looked under the wardrobe where the water pump is located and I don't think there is enough room even if I install the filter sideways.

The everpure capacity relatively small for filtering all the water.

Even for weekend camping in the summer? Another option I have considered is to use an external filter for city water and the everpure just for water from the fresh water tank.

Coffee/drinking water= filtered water from home.

FW tank, in-line fill hose filter.

KISS filter in kitchen faucet.

Here's the plan... I'll attach the hoses to/from the filter at the outlet if the water pump and install the filter in the wardrobe wall in front of the shower. Pics attached.
