Camco TastePURE disposable inline filters connect outside the RV between the water supply and the drinking-water hose. Several filter options look similar but use different filtration media, micron ratings and packages. A separate sediment prefilter can be installed upstream when the supply contains grit and silt.

Check the right replacement
Camco's 40013 and 40044 are complete inline filter cartridges, not empty canisters with removable internal elements. The 40048 is a prefilter for larger particles; it does not replace a GAC/KDF filter for taste and odour reduction. The coarser 40646 is not equivalent to the 20-micron TastePURE versions. Install filters in the marked flow direction, flush them before use and replace disposable filters as directed. Filtration does not make an unsafe water source automatically safe to drink.
