Prefilter
An Airstream owner found that their whole house heating system that uses water to distribute the heat was full of sand. The coach had been used as housing while a S&B was built. The complete system had to be replaced.
Clear2o used to sell a dirt trap pre-filter system. We purchased one, but never used it as before it was installed, the report of fractured housings came out. I like the idea a lot, but suspect at least the early versions are suspect.
We continue to use the Camco Blue type general purpose filters as an all coach pre-filter. Unfortunately, I recently figured out that those filters are carbon units and they remove the chlorine from the city water we use to fill the fresh water tank. I had always thought the city chlorine would keep the fresh tank relatively fresh, but ........ maybe not. Since we only use fresh tank water for toilet flushing on the road, no harm, no foul, but not really the situation that I always assumed.
There is a lot to think about when you consider how to filter water. I think I have some more research to do and maybe a big filter to replace.
