CamcoKDF + Carbon FiltrationMade in the USACamco TastePURE KDF/Carbon Inline Water Filter -- 2-Pack (CMC40045)

Two full-season inline water filters that screw directly onto any standard garden or RV water hose. The TastePURE combines a granular activated carbon block with KDF-55 media to tackle the full spectrum of common campground water problems -- chlorine, sulfur odor, heavy metals, bacteria, mold, and sediment -- before water ever reaches your rig's tank or your glass.

Clean Campground Water Without the Hassle

Campground water hookups range from great to genuinely unpleasant. Municipal supplies can carry strong chlorine taste; well-fed campgrounds may have hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell), iron staining, or sediment. The TastePURE handles all of it with a dual-stage approach: an outer 100-micron fiber prefilter catches physical particles first, then water passes through the KDF/carbon core where the chemical and biological reduction happens.

The wider-body housing is designed for improved flow -- 2.5 gallons per minute -- so you won't notice a significant pressure drop at the faucet or showerhead. Each filter is rated for approximately 500 gallons, which Camco equates to a full 3-to-4 month camping season under normal use. This 2-pack gives you back-to-back season coverage or one filter for each campsite hookup you run simultaneously.

KDF-55 Bacterial Control

KDF (Kinetic Degradation Fluxion) media is embedded in the carbon to prevent bacteria and fungus from colonizing the filter bed -- a critical advantage over plain carbon-only inline filters.

Wide-Body Housing for Flow

Larger-diameter housing increases contact time and flow area simultaneously, delivering 2.5 GPM without meaningful pressure loss through the filter.

Lead-Free Brass Fittings

5/8-inch lead-free brass inlet and outlet threads are compatible with standard US garden hose fittings and most RV fresh-water hose connections.

100-Micron Sediment Prefiltration

Outer fiber layer captures rust, sand, scale, and particulate before water contacts the KDF/carbon core, extending effective filter life.

What the TastePURE Reduces

This filter is rated to reduce or protect against the following contaminants:

  • Chlorine and chloramine taste and odor
  • Hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg odor)
  • Heavy metals: lead, mercury, iron, cadmium, aluminum
  • Bacteria, mold, algae, and fungal growth (via KDF media)
  • Turbidity and cloudiness (sediment, rust, scale)
  • Bad taste from municipal chemical treatment
Full Season Coverage Per Filter: Under typical RV use (filling tanks, drinking, cooking, showering), one TastePURE filter handles approximately 500 gallons -- matching the average 3-to-4 month camping season without a mid-season swap.

Installation and Use

Installation requires no tools. Thread the filter's inlet end onto your water source hose (city water hookup or your own garden hose), then connect your RV's fresh-water inlet hose or drinking-water hose to the filter's outlet. The filter should be positioned before the water enters your RV's fresh-water tank or inline before a specific faucet.

  • Always flush the filter for 10-15 seconds before first use to clear any loose carbon fines.
  • Orient the filter horizontally or with the outlet end down when possible to allow air to escape.
  • Do not use with hot water lines -- rated for cold/ambient temperature water only.
  • Store indoors between trips; extended freezing can damage the filter housing.
When to Replace: Replace when the flow rate noticeably drops below normal or when taste and odor return -- whichever comes first. Do not wait until a scheduled date if water quality degrades early, which can happen at sites with heavily treated or high-mineral water.
Maintenance Tip: If the filter sits unused for more than two weeks (between camping trips), run fresh water through it for 30 seconds before drinking to flush any stagnant water in the housing. For long-term storage, remove the filter from the hose and allow it to dry completely before storing.

Made in the USA -- 90-Day Warranty

Both filters in this pack are manufactured in the United States and carry Camco's limited 90-day manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Important Information
  • Not intended for use with hot water lines. Use with cold or ambient-temperature water only.
  • This filter reduces contaminants but is NOT a certified purifier and does not eliminate all pathogens. Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without additional treatment.
  • Do not allow the filter to freeze while water-filled -- freezing can crack the housing and void the warranty.
  • Replace immediately if flow rate drops sharply or taste/odor returns, regardless of gallons used.
  • Flush 10-15 seconds before first use each season to clear loose carbon fines.
  • Hoses, pressure regulators, and additional fittings are sold separately.
How to Use:
1. Connect your fresh water hose to the water source. *Use of water pressure regulator is recommended. Not included.
2. Attach the water filter to your fresh water hose, making sure the arrows are pointing in the direction of water flow.
3. For first time use, allow water to flow through for 1 minute to remove carbon fines.
4. Write down the date of first use on the filter.
5. Remove the male end of the hose from the filter inlet and attach the flexible hose protector.
6. Remove the female end of the hose from the water source and attach the hose to the filter outlet.
