Hey Leo, for a van build, the two main fixed options as far as water filtration systems go are the SOLO # GB64FR and the TRIO # GB44FR.

The SOLO is a compact single-stage system - great if space is tight and you just want a solid upgrade over basic filters.
The TRIO is a full 3-stage system that gives you better overall filtration, including improved taste and finer contaminant removal.

Both install directly into your 1/2" PEX water lines, so once they’re in, you don’t have to think about them again.

How tight is your space under the sink or near your water lines? If small space, the SOLO is best. If you have plenty of space under the sink or nearby in cabinet, the TRIO is a better filter system.

You should share some info on the sprinter van conversion; those are super cool!

Hey Jess, welcome back, and good question. Short answer, no, it’s not stated as a .02 absolute rating, and that’s the key distinction. Blu Tech lists the AR3 as a 0.2 micron filter, but they also clearly note that those micron claims are “based on…
