Brita faucet filter
Has anybody tried, or using one of these on their kitchen water faucet?
Brita On Tap Faucet Water Filter System, White - Walmart.com
I bought one and planned on using it in the kitchen. Mainly for drinking water. I don't like the taste of the water coming out of those pex lines.
My concern is, the kitchen faucet sure doesn't seem to be very strong, and I'm wondering if will be able to handle the extra weight and stress caused by that filter system hanging on there.
If I can use it while we are setup, that is all I would want. Then I would take it off before moving the trailer.

I would be curious too. I have been looking when I see them and just haven't seen one in the right color. They also make several pitchers which would serve the purpose and could be placed in the fridge.

I wouldn't. We had one at home and it was quite hefty, especially when filled with water. Plus, you would just be creating one more thing to stow when moving. I would instead, cut your cold water pex tube under the sink, and plumb this in: Shop Culligan Under Sink Complete Filtration System at Lowes.com=

Lloyd the brita pitcher will filter a lot more than chlorine and sediment. It is also portable.

Thanks for the thoughts tho.

Al: I looked at the pitchers. Almost went that route also.
This morning Barb and I decided we were getting along OK without either.
We always carry plenty of drinking water from home when we go. So I think I will just quit trying to make extra work for myself.

I have that setup in the house.
I carry a whole house filter system with the camper. Along with and array of three different levels of filters I can use depending on how suspicious I am of the water.
Most of the time we are never hooked to city water when we camp.
It's usually boon docking.

We purchased the Camco inline water filter. We attach it at the outside spigot.

Seems to work well.

Yeah, the Camco rv stuff is super convenient but I found I couldn't dry it out between uses and had the residual water in the filter start to get musty on those weekend trips, especially when well water was the source. Also, it gets expensive to buy those inlines.
This isn't my setup, but kinda close..

I've been using a Brita pitcher at home for years. I found a slim one for the camper that fits in the refrigerator door. I always use them to filter the water for my coffee maker because they keep the buildup from forming when using tap water.

I use the camco filter between water source and camper. We always take bottled water as well for drinking. I am thinking a brita or Pur pitcher in addition will work just fine. I always buy a two pack of the gamco filters for less than $25. I usually just disconnect and let it drain really well. Before I hook it up I let it flush good before hooking up. Unless the water is really foul I think we tend to make to big a deal out of it.

I use a two step process.....standard blue filter from wally-world for filling fresh tank and I have installed a more compact brita filter on the kitchen sink for drinking water. After 4-years....no problems....and great tasting water....
