Keep your onboard water tasting clean and smelling fresh with this direct replacement filter for Camco's HL-170QC inline filtration system. Combining bacteriostatic KDF media with acid-washed coconut shell carbon, this filter tackles the contaminants RV owners encounter most -- chlorine, heavy metals, hydrogen sulfide, and bacteria -- all in one slim, quick-connect cartridge rated for up to 7,000 gallons of filtered water.
This cartridge is a drop-in replacement for the Camco HL-170QC kit and OEM-installed quick disconnect systems found in many production RVs. The 1/2-inch quick connect fittings snap in and out in seconds -- no tools, no thread tape, no mess. It is designed exclusively for interior water lines operating within normal RV system pressures.
At 1 GPM flow rate and a working pressure range of 20 to 100 PSI, this filter keeps pace with typical RV on-demand pump output and city water hook-up pressures alike. Replace the cartridge when taste or odor returns, or when you have reached the 7,000-gallon service limit -- whichever comes first.
Copper-zinc KDF granules inhibit bacteria growth inside the filter and reduce heavy metals including lead and mercury from the water stream.
Acid-washed coconut shell activated carbon provides a high surface area for adsorbing chlorine, VOCs, hydrogen sulfide, and the taste and odor compounds most common in campground water supplies.
Standard 1/2-inch quick connect fittings on both ends let you swap cartridges in under a minute with no tools required -- ideal for seasonal changeouts or mid-trip replacements.
Rated for up to 7,000 gallons per cartridge, this filter delivers a long service life whether you are hooked up full-time or filtering from the fresh tank on dry-camping trips.
The dual-media design handles a broader range of water quality problems than single-media carbon filters:
This cartridge is the correct replacement for the following Camco systems and OEM installations:
Camco recommends replacing this cartridge when you notice a return of taste or odor issues, or when you have filtered approximately 7,000 gallons -- whichever comes first. Full-timers on city water with heavy chlorination may reach capacity faster than seasonal users on well water. Keep a spare cartridge in your bay storage so you are never caught without clean drinking water at camp.
