Conrad, You're aware that filtering river or lake water for consumption is a whole different matter then filtering potable water at a campground.

We drink bottled water and only use the partially filled tank or campground water to shower and flush.

Several of the campgrounds we have camped at use chlorine to insure that their water is biologically safe . We use a filter (Camco #40043) which is supposed to remove chlorine but the taste and smell is still there and the water makes terrible drinking water and coffee.
Does anyone know of a reasonably priced water filter that actually takes out the chlorine taste and smell ?

You don't need a filter to remove the chlorine. Simply fill a jug with the water and leave it open overnight.

Connect the pressure regulator at the camp ground supply. This will limit the pressure to the hose that can swell up in the summer heat should you encounter a high pressure situation. The filter would be after the regulator at either end.

If you are using or considering a water filter for your camper, read this: Water Treatments

Of course. I have filtered sea water which even more complicated. It is one reason I believe in overkill on solar panels. It is energy intensive. I would feel perfectly comfortable purifying lake water from the Georgian Bay for example.

Aren't these regulators like one way valves? How would a pressure regulator help at the hose bib?
