Stop tolerating foul-smelling, chlorine-tainted campground water. The Camco TastePURE 40044 combines KDF media with granular activated carbon (GAC) to strip bad taste, odor, chlorine, and sediment before water ever reaches your faucet, shower, or coffee maker. You get two full-size filters in one box -- enough for a full camping season or two seasons of weekend use.
Most campground water hookups carry chlorine, sediment, and trace contaminants that degrade taste and can stress your RV's internal plumbing over time. The TastePURE 40044 attaches in-line at the spigot -- before the water reaches your fresh water hose -- using standard 3/4-inch GHT (garden hose thread) fittings found on virtually every campsite pedestal and RV city water inlet.
The dual-stage media bed works in sequence: KDF-55 media neutralizes chlorine and inhibits bacteria and algae growth inside the filter housing, while the granular activated carbon bed adsorbs organic compounds responsible for musty, chemical, or sulfur-like odors. A 20-micron sediment barrier at the outlet catches particulates before they enter your lines.
KDF-55 granules handle chlorine and microbial inhibition; GAC adsorbs taste and odor compounds for noticeably cleaner drinking water.
Catches fine particulates, rust flakes, and debris before they enter your RV plumbing or appliances.
Each filter provides approximately 3 months of service at average RV use. The 2-pack covers a full camping season without a mid-season supply run.
NSF Standard 42 (aesthetic effects) and Standard 53 (health effects) listing confirms independent lab verification. CSA lead-free certification meets safe drinking water standards.
Standard carbon-only filters can become breeding grounds for bacteria in the warm, stagnant conditions common inside an RV hose coiled in the sun. KDF-55 media creates an environment hostile to bacteria and algae growth inside the filter itself -- an important durability advantage for full-timers and those who leave their rigs connected between visits.
Both filters thread onto standard 3/4-inch GHT (garden hose thread) connections -- the same thread found on campground spigots and RV city water inlets. No adapters are required for the overwhelming majority of RV setups. Connect the filter directly between the spigot and your drinking water hose. The filter is designed for cold water service only; do not use on hot water lines.
Each filter is rated for approximately 3 months of typical RV use or until flow rate noticeably drops, whichever comes first. Replace sooner if you notice:
Do not attempt to backflush or regenerate this filter. It is a single-use, non-serviceable cartridge.
Pair these filters with a Camco inline pressure regulator (such as Camco 40055 or 40064) installed downstream of the filter to protect your RV's plumbing from campground pressure spikes. A TastePURE drinking water hose (Camco 22783 or similar) completes a fully NSF-rated water delivery path from spigot to tank.
