Everpure water filter
GUYPSMITH
the parks, so we have been buying bottled water at Wal-Mart to drink and cook
with. I am seriously considering the Everpure water filter (page 96, item D in
Camping Worlds catalog) and looking for comments, good, bad, or indifferent.
If positive comments out weigh the negative, I plan to buy one. However, I
certainly will consider other brands if I get some really good comments
concerning them. Oh yes, if you know of a cheaper place to buy one, that
information would be appreciated also. TIA. Guy

We use a countertop model from PUR that discounts for about $60 or
less. It has a diverter valve that screws onto the faucet spigot, and
the pure water outlet is at the valve. The unit takes up minimal
counter space, in an unused area behind the sink for us, and requires
no eleborate installation. The replaceable filter claims to be good for
200 gal. Ours works fine, but some friends had a problem keeping the
valve on their from blowing off the faucet. Make sure you have easy
return privileges. We have been using a PUR faucet-mount unit at home
for years now.

I've been using Everpure for a while and while I have not found any
major fault with them, they're grossly overpriced, on my opinion.
Go to any HQ, Home Depot, etc. type place and look at either
whole-house filters or under-sink filters. There's lots to choose
from. I'm using a plastic under-sink unit that cost $15 wo/element.
A variety of elements are available in price ranges from $2 to $25
depending on what it filters. (I'd quote specifics but I'd be
doing it from memory and that's probably not a good idea...)

into the the RV. The first filter is a 1 micron sediment filter which
really cleans the water.
This is followed by a 1/2 micron carbon block filter witch remove 99%
of the heavy metals and also the cysts that cause disintary. BTW
carbon block is what everpure uses.
After coming thru the filters the water is so clean it almost looks
polished. We can run the output into the house system or fill the
fresh water tank.
Where we winter the water is slighly salty so we can run the filtered
water into an RO unit and then into the fresh water tank. This unit
will provide about 20 gallons of RO processed water per day.
Cost of the above
2 filter housing for less than $20 each
2 filters for less than $20 a pair
1 RO membrane about $50
A little over $100 to handle the whole RV with replacement filters
under $20 @ home depot and other stores.

hooked up under the kitchen sink to the cold water line.
I do like the taste of the water that filters through the ADC cartridge filter.
If you are not using the filter there is a plug that fits into the QC2 head
where the filter would be and allows you to use your water system without a
filter. Be sure the plug is inserted correctly. I did not and after the
system reached full presure the plug let go and I had water all over the floor.
I wanted to tell all purchers of Everpure ADC Quick Change Cartridges filter
that there is a manufacture date stampted on the filter by the manufacturer.
It is red or purple in color and is made of one alpha and two numbers. The
alpha stands for the month (i.e., A=Jan. B= Feb. C=March, etc.), the first
number stands for the week of the month and the last number stands for the year
(i.e., 7= 1997, 8=98, 9=99. From what was explained to me by Everpure
(telephone No. 630-654-1151) the shelf life is approximatly 3 years from that
date. If you have not installed or had water in the filter, you can, however,
still use this filter after this 3 year time period. The charcoal in the
bottom of the filter will settle and you should bang or hit the filter bottom
on the palm of your hand to loosen up the charcoal. You should change to a new
filter at least once a year if there is water in the filter. There is a place
on the filter where you can write the date you put the filter in service. This
will help you remember when you actually started using the filter.
I was misinformed by one person, who sells for a competitor of Everpure, who
said the charcoal used to filter the water eat through a filter plate after
one year from the manufacture date and this charcoal get into your water even
if it was not installed. When I went to Camping World in Sacramento, CA no one
in the store could help me determine if this expiration date did means what I
heard or that the filters could be installed and used a year after that
manufacture date.
It helps to phone the company making the product to know what is what, and in
this case it helped me.
FWIW, I like my Everpure water system.

... ours was not in our first MH, and the ice will ruin a drink in places
where the water has a "Local Flavor" <LOL>

I have used one for about three years now and could not do without it.
I suggest that you also purchase the small metal faucet that CW sells
mount it beside of your sink faucet and connect the output of the
Everpure to it. This will give you a dedicated faucet for filtered
water and the filter will last longer. I take mine out every winter,
drain it and install the bypass plug before winterizing. I usually get
at least 2 years out of a carteridge by doing this.
