Description
Complete Caravan and RV Under Sink Drinking Water Filter System
A complete kit that includes a high-quality American-made BESTWF water filter and your choice of dedicated drinking water tap.
A compact inline filtration solution ideal for caravans and RVs with limited space under their sink.
Includes everything you will need to purify your drinking water, including the water filter, tubing, fittings, and a dedicated drinking water tap.
Deals with a wide range of contaminants commonly found in Australian water, including sediment, dirt, sand, silt, rust, chlorine, chloramines, pesticides, herbicides, and much more.
Will make your water more palatable and much safer to drink as you travel around Australia.
Triple action filter with sediment pads, activated coconut carbon, and KDF55 to provide complete protection.
Also offers scale reduction, which is useful for travellers who intend to visit parts of Australia with hard water.
Rated at 1 micron, so will offer some protection from parasitic cysts including Cyclospora, Giardia, and Cryptosporidium — helping to keep you and your family safe when using tank or bore water.
This system is designed for use with a dedicated drinking water tap. We do have a no tap option if you already have your own dedicated filtered water tap.
If you would like a high-flow water filtration solution for under your sink, take a look at the BESTWF or BESTHC with 12mm fittings.
If you are interested in improved scale protection, check out our 3M™ Under Sink Caravan and RV Filter Kit.
Features and Benefits
- Dramatically Improves The Taste and Odour of Your Water
Both of the filters available with this system use high-quality activated coconut carbon. It reduce any bad flavours or odours in your water, which is handy when travelling around Australia and being forced to used smelly or bad tasting water. - Easy Installation
Our Under Sink Caravan and RV Filter Kit comes with everything you will need to get started. It connects to standard 12mm tubing commonly used in caravans and RVs. If you have an unusual setup, contact us and we will help you find a solution. - Affordable Replacement Filters
Replacement filters are easy to find and much more affordable than other comparable filters. This means you can afford to take several backup filters with you on the road and change them as needed. - Ultra Fine Filtration
Filters sediment particles down to 1 micron (nominal). This is about 70 times finer than a human hair and 20 times finer than the smallest object visible with the naked eye. Traps a huge range of particulates, making your water look, smell, and taste better. - Suitable For Small Spaces
The Omnipure K2567 is a compact inline filter which can be installed vertically or horizontally. It is small enough to be placed behind drawers or in tight spaces. Because it is an inline filter, it can be positioned vertically or horizontally which makes it easier to find a suitable spot. Additional 1/4″ tubing can even be purchased which lets you place the filter in a location further from your tap. - Alternate Filters Available
The Complete Under Sink Caravan Water Filter Kit will work with any inline water filter that takes 1/4″ tubing. This means you can change out the type of filter in the unit to suit the type of water you will be encountering. You aren’t trapped into a proprietary type filter that is difficult to find.

Filtration Process
The Under Sink Caravan Filter Kit uses the triple action Omnipure K2567. The filtration process consists of:
Stage 1: Sediment Filtration
Water enters the filter and flows through a 1 micron sediment pad. This pad catches a huge variety of particulates including sand, silt, dirt, rust, and algae. Removing these contaminants improves the taste, odour, and appearance of your water. Also protects the appliances inside your caravan or RV from damage.
Stage 2: KDF 55
KDF 55 is a proprietary blend of copper and zinc. As oxygenated water flows through this mixture of metals, certain contaminants will lose or gain electrons. Reduces active chlorine, heavy metals, and minerals which form scale.
The copper in KDF 55 also makes it bacteriostatic, which means it can kill or incapacitate bacteria developing inside the water filter cartridge.
Stage 3: Activated Coconut Carbon
Activated carbon will adsorb a huge range of chemicals, including chlorine, volatile organic compounds, petrochemicals, and much more.

Filter Kit Options
Select between the 301/C Chrome tap and the Black Lever tap. Both options are watermarked, which means they adhere to strict Australian standards.
Operation Tips
Printed instructions are included with the system to make installation a breeze.
You can also view them online in our Knowledge article: Installing a Complete Caravan or RV Under Sink Water Filter System.
All you will need to do is cut into the 12 mm cold water line which feeds your existing tap, insert the tee piece, then install the filter. Find a great location for your tap then run 1/4″ tubing from the outlet of the filter to the tap.
Delivery Details
All deliveries received before cut off times are shipped out same-day via Australia Post, Aramex or Startrack.
Cut off times are 1pm for Aramex and Startrack deliveries, and 4pm for Australia Post deliveries.
Frequently Asked Questions
How will each filter last?
The BESTWF is a high capacity filter which has a chlorine reduction capacity of 6000 Litres. However, this may vary based on water quality and usage. Travellers who fill up on reasonably clean town water can enjoy anywhere between 12-to-18 months lifespan from a filter.
Please note: If you encounter extremely dirty water while travelling, the filter’s lifespan may be shortened. If you do run into low quality water during your travels, you can reverse the flow of the filter to clean out some sediment. Water should be run at a very slow flow rate during this process.
We recommend that you go no longer than 2 years between filter changes as bacteria may eventually develop in the filter cartridge.
What is the Advantage of Having KDF in a Filter?
KDF is a proprietary blend of copper, zinc, and other minerals. It is quite a remarkable form media, as it can reduce a variety of contaminants and has unique properties.
It works using the principle of REDOX (Reduction/Oxidation) which is a fancy way of saying it changes the form of some molecules, making them lose of gain electrons. It will:
- Cause chlorine to lose electrons, breaking down into a harmless electrolyte
- Break up some of the chloramine (water + ammonia) molecules in the water
- Cause some calcium to precipitate from the water and form aragonite, which can slightly reduce scale build-up
- Cause lead in the water in the water to bind with the copper
But one of the best advantages of having KDF in a filter is that it is bacteriostatic, due to the copper it contains. This means it will kill or incapacitate some bacteria, reducing the risk of filter contamination.
It’s important to note that this bacteriostatic effect will only protect the filter for a certain amount of time and it doesn’t stop bacteria from flowing through the filter. If you are using untreated water which may have bacterial load, you should use a UV Steriliser or Ceramic filter to protect yourself.
Where Are The Filters Made?
The BESTWF is an American made filter. This gives you the certainty that your water filter is made using high-quality components and tested for effectiveness. It is of a much higher standard than the cheaper Chinese filters sold by many larger hardware and plumbing stores.
