The quality of the water we drink is important for our health and well-being. While we often don’t think about water filtration and water filters when we are at home and connected to mains water, when we travel around in a caravan, RV or boat, the quality of our water becomes a higher priority.
The taste, smell and safety of water can vary greatly from water source to water source. For example, there is a huge difference in the taste and hardness of bore water as compared to rainwater. Travellers often find they don’t like the taste or smell of water from different locations, or worse, become sick from drinking or bathing in contaminated water. Van and boat owners don’t always have the luxury of topping up their water supply from a filtered or treated water source, so it becomes essential to take responsibility for your own water filtration and water treatment while travelling.
Think Water has an excellent range of water filters suitable for use in Caravans, RVs and Boats. Here we highlight some of the most popular water filters from Puretech, one of our preferred suppliers.

Featuring durable brass connections, it can easily be connected to garden hose fittings which are readily available in most locations while you are travelling, making it very easy to filter your water while filling up your water tank.

Puretec CR45 Caravan Water Filter Kit
This very versatile caravan water filter kit can be used either as an inline water filter while filling your tank directly from the mains tap or can be connected directly to the inlet water line in your RV, boat or caravan – doubling as a portable water filter and an undersink water filter. This water filter system is particularly efficient in removing unwelcome tastes and odours, chlorine and other organic chemicals. With dual filtration, the sediment and carbon filter offers the additional benefits of washable sediment removal cartridges and long-life filter technology – extending the time between filter changes.
