Camco Triple Stage Filtration 0.2-Micron Final Stage

Camco EVO X3 40649 -- Three-Stage RV Water Filtration System

The EVO X3 gives you campground-quality water you can actually trust. Three dedicated filter stages knock out sediment, chlorine, taste, odor, and microscopic particulates down to 0.2 microns -- everything you need to protect your RV plumbing, your appliances, and your family. The system ships complete with canisters, cartridges, a floor stand, a supply hose, and a filter wrench so you can be up and running at your first hookup.

Clean Water at Every Campsite -- No Extra Parts Required

Municipal campground water varies wildly from site to site. One park may push heavily chlorinated water; the next may have sediment, sulfur smell, or scale-forming minerals that clog your water heater anode and stress your faucet valves. The Camco EVO X3 sits inline between your water source and your RV's city water inlet, treating every drop before it enters the coach.

Unlike single-canister inline filters, the X3 uses three separate housings in series, each targeted at a specific contaminant class. That staged approach keeps each cartridge working efficiently and extends the service life of the downstream stages -- particularly the fine 0.2-micron membrane that does the heavy lifting at the end of the train.

Stage 1 -- Sediment

Coarser pre-filter captures rust, dirt, sand, and particulate matter before they reach the finer downstream stages.

Stage 2 -- Carbon Block

Activated carbon reduces chlorine, chloramines, taste, and odor for water that smells and tastes fresh at the tap.

Stage 3 -- 0.2-Micron Final Filter

Ultra-fine membrane captures bacteria-sized particulates, cysts, and remaining fine sediment for the cleanest possible output.

Complete Kit, Ready to Hook Up

Includes all three canisters pre-loaded with cartridges, a floor stand, a supply hose, and a canister wrench -- no sourcing extra hardware.

What Is Included in the Box

  • Three filter canisters (pre-loaded with cartridges)
  • Stage 1 sediment cartridge (installed)
  • Stage 2 activated carbon block cartridge (installed)
  • Stage 3 0.2-micron membrane cartridge (installed)
  • Freestanding floor stand / bracket assembly
  • Supply hose for source-to-filter connection
  • Filter canister wrench for cartridge changes

High-Flow Design for Full-Time and Weekend Use

The EVO X3 is engineered for high-flow throughput so filtration does not noticeably reduce your campsite water pressure. The large-canister housings allow adequate dwell time for effective contaminant reduction without the pressure drop you get from undersized inline filters.

Protecting Your RV Plumbing Investment

Chlorine and sediment are the two biggest enemies of RV water system components. Chlorine degrades EPDM seals and rubber fittings over time; sediment works its way into pump inlet screens, showerhead restrictors, and toilet fill valves. Running the EVO X3 full time is the single most effective step you can take to extend service life on your water pump, water heater, and fixtures.

The 0.2-micron final stage is particularly valuable for full-timers and anyone who fills from unknown municipal supplies. At that pore size, the membrane captures Cryptosporidium and Giardia cysts, which are common in surface-sourced municipal water and are resistant to chlorine disinfection alone.

Replacement Cartridges

Camco offers replacement cartridges for all three stages separately, so you can swap only the stage that has reached end-of-life rather than replacing the entire system. Cartridge change intervals depend on source water quality and volume used. Inspect cartridges at least once per season, or whenever you notice reduced flow or a return of taste/odor issues. Use the included wrench -- hand-tight only when reinstalling to avoid cracking the canister housing.

Installation and Use Notes

The EVO X3 is designed for cold water, exterior use only. Do not install inline on the hot water side of your system. Protect the canisters from freezing -- water trapped inside an unprotected canister will crack the housing. When storing the RV or winterizing, remove and drain all cartridges or use your normal blow-out procedure before the canisters freeze. The system is intended for treated municipal water supplies; it is not rated as a purifier for raw or untreated well/surface water.

Maintenance Tips

  • Change Stage 1 sediment cartridge more frequently if your source water is visibly turbid or rust-colored.
  • A return of chlorine taste or odor is the clearest sign Stage 2 carbon is exhausted.
  • Reduced flow rate (not caused by low campsite pressure) typically signals Stage 3 membrane needs replacement.
  • Flush new cartridges for 2-3 minutes before using the water for drinking or cooking.
  • Store canisters in a cool, dry location when not in use -- extended UV exposure can degrade canister plastic over time.

Important Information -- Read Before Installing

  • Cold water use only. Do not install on hot water lines. Do not allow water to exceed temperatures safe for standard plastic canister housings.
  • Freeze protection required. Water left in canisters will expand when frozen and crack the housings. Drain and store before temperatures drop below 32 deg F.
  • Municipal/treated water only. The EVO X3 is not a purifier and is not certified to make untreated well, lake, or surface water safe to drink.
  • Monitor flow rate and taste. A noticeable drop in flow or return of odor/taste means one or more cartridges need replacement. Do not rely on a calendar schedule alone -- actual service life depends on source water quality and usage volume.
  • Do not overtighten canisters. Use the included wrench for removal. Hand-tight is sufficient on reinstallation. Over-torquing cracks the canister collar.
  • Flush before first use. Run water through the system for at least 2-3 minutes after installing new cartridges before collecting water for consumption.
