  The average lifespan while in use of a filter like the Camco # CAM40043 is about 3 months, or one camping season. Per Camco, there aren't any special storage recommendations. They recommend wrapping the ends of the filter in plastic and securing with a rubber band to prevent dirt or other contaminants from getting in the filter when it's not being used.

• Recommended Storage Method for Camco RV and Marine Disposable Water Filter CAM40043
  Camco RV and Marine Disposable Water Filter # CAM40043 is intended to last one full camping season for most RVers.

• Im Using 2 of the Filters to Fill Up my 15x42 pool. We Are on Well Water.
  You will probably need more than two Camco # CAM40043 water filters. They are rated for "one camping season" which I guesstimate would be (5 months X 2 trips each X 60 gallons) 600 gallons. Since you pool is probably about (depending on depth) 8500 gallons you would need around 14 filters. The Camco filters remove these contaminants and more from your fresh water: aluminum, bacteria, bad taste, cadmium, chlorine, fungus, heavy metals, hydrogen sulfide, iron, lead, mercury, mold, odor,...

• Fresh Drinking Water Hose Replacement for Trailer thats Been Sitting a Year
  I think what you mentioned is a really smart idea. While it's not a generally accepted policy if I were in your situation it's what I would do. The AquaFresh High Pressure Drinking Water Hose # W01-8300 that you referenced would be a great choice for this. The length of this hose is 25 feet and is rated for up to 160 psi. I attached a review video for more info on this as well. It's probably a good idea to go with a new water filter too like the part # CAM40043.

• Does The Camco RV And Marine Disposable Water Filter Remove Rust From Water
  I spoke with Camco, and they explained to me that the Camco RV and Marine Disposable Water Filter w/ Hose Protector # CAM40043 will remove some rust but not all of it. My recommendation is if you get a lot of rust in your water to invest in a water softener. Water softeners are designed to use a chemical reaction to remove dissolved metals from the water, while a filter removes the solids from the water.

• Do I Need To Have A Water Softener For A On Demand Water Heater?
  While a water softener is not required it would be your preference to use it or not with the Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater # LSB44FR.

• Solution for Removing Chlorine From RV Water Supply
  According to Camco, the # CAM40206 drinking water freshener wouldn't remove chlorine. It's more designed for mold and mildew. A disposable filter like # CAM40043 would work much better than the freshener. The filter does its job in the amount of time it takes the water to pass through it. The filters are disposable, and considered to be good for 6 months or one camping season. Replacement filters are available as part # CAM40045. I've linked you to a product description video for the...

• Does Aerator of Flow Max RV Kitchen Faucet # LC719325 Act as Water Filter
  Aerators aren't really designed to be filters as they are intended to add air to the water flow so that you don't need to use as much water. That is why the aerator of the Flow Max RV Kitchen Faucet # LC719325 was not designed to be removable. There would be filters already in place in your RV water system like the # CAM40043 which would prevent the aerator from having to act as a filter.
