Water Filter

I have a 2008 Sterling 620. I do not know where the water filter is situated. With my old van it was by the water inlet, it unscrewed and had a charcoal filter. On my new van the filling pipe has a round object on the end, that you put in the water barrel. Is the filter in this?

There is no filter as such, Swift Group have not fitted filters for quite a while.

We have the same set-up as you, the disk thing on the end of the pipe is a sort of strainer thing to keep out debris. The on-board pump also has strainer mesh fitted on ours, this can be cleaned if necessary.
 
My 2008 eldiss has a Whale waterline system, which has a cylindrical white plastic thing on the end of the water pick up tube, this is a filter. inside is a small bag containing black cyristals (carbon?) Rediculously expensive at
 
As in the previous post - look at the Filtapac site - they do a replacement cylinder where the bottom unclips which can be used with the refills they supply. Been using them for years (they also do refills for the older type of filter), excellent service and great products.

Just read a previous message (sorry) http://www.filtapac.co.uk/ seems to be the answer, the stockest list is a bit limited though.
 
For starters it filters out any mineral content which causes hardness in water, limestone particles and magnesium. Those are not harmful, however the filter also traps other oxides such as aluminium lead or copper.
