Is There A Way To Get Clean Water To Off-Grid Camper In Montana? Off-Grid Water Filter/Pump

Published 03/24/2026

Question:

We do a lot of off-grid camping in Montana and usually bring water with us, but I’d love a way to refill if needed. Is that realistic with these setups?

Brian, for that kind of off-grid flexibility, the ARX+ # GB54FR is the one to look at.

It has its own 12V pump and battery, so it can pull water from a stream, lake, or container and filter it through a 4-stage system before it ever reaches your RV. That’s what makes it a good choice for your application.

It can be hooked to a campground spigot if needed, but it’s really designed for situations where you don’t have pressurized water available. Blue Tech notes: "The ARX+ system was not designed to be connected to pressurized water, but after lab testing the ARX+ system with a connection to a 60 PSI water source for 2,000 gallons, no issues were observed."

How long are you typically staying off-grid when you’re out in Montana?
