I just bought a water filter set up (dual filters, regulator w/gauge, and another gauge to see what the pressure is going in).

I got it from the rvwaterfilterstore.

I thought it would be nice to have a stand for it, so I made one.

Here are some pics.

Nice Job! 2 filters.... both the same, or one for sediment/odor, and one for crypto-stuff ?

Inlet pressure is nice - always good info. And the outlet pressure gives you a differential pressure reading - lets you know if the filters are losing their GPM rating, and therefore are getting clogged (of course that'd only work with the regulator wide open.....)

Nice!

Thanks.

Yes, first filter is for sediment, second is a combination filter for sediment, taste, odor, and cysts.

I've been using one of the "hose-end" regulators and the in-line blue cylinder filters. I haven't been happy with the water flow in the MH.

This set up should give me much improved water flow. I'm excited to try it out.

Very cool mod! I like the stand. This goes down on the must-do mod list for sure.

It looks like one of those things they send up to Mars to walk around taking soil samples! Sell the idea to NASA for 3.2 billion dollars!
