It filters the water really good and removes the chlorine odor which is really what I was after. The water comes out pure and doesn't smell at all. However, there are two things you need to know about this filter.
First, according to the instructions on the filter, you need to allow water to flow through it for a short time to clear the carbon lines. I hooked up the hose to one end and turned the water part way on to let the water flow out the other open end of the filter, and for about two seconds the water was pure black, which was the carbon coming out upon first use. After about a minute I turned the faucet all the way on and it flowed black for another two seconds. After that, it's been clean and pure ever since. If you don't let water run for a few minutes at first to flush out the loose carbon and just connect the filter without flushing it, you're going to have carbon inside your system.
Second, according to the instructions on the filter, it says do not freeze. Well, if you hook this to the outside of an RV and it's winter time, I'm not sure you you can avoid this.
But it is a good filter that works great and I will buy more of them.

While this product is intended for use with RVs, I use it as an inexpensive and convenient way to filter tap water for homebrewing beer. I simply thread it onto a white, drinking water hose (also an RV product)and direct the flow into my hot liquor tank. The filtered water tastes very pure and clean, with no hint of chlorine.I find this product to be very economical and convenient, and a lot simpler than other filtering solutions. After use, I simply drain the excess water, place it in a ziplock bag and stow it in the fridge until my next brewing session.
