Advanced 0.2-micron protection for water from natural or suspect sources
The inside-install version of our Enhanced Virus Hero system - a triple-canister setup for RVers who source water off the beaten path. It combines a cleanable PR-1 1-micron sediment filter, an A1209 0.5-micron carbon block, and a 0.2-micron Virus Hero cartridge to reduce bacteria, cysts, chlorine, VOCs, PFAS, and pesticides without UV or reverse osmosis. This is the inside-install version: it ships with standard 3/4″ garden-hose threads plus two SharkBite fittings to convert to 1/2″ PEX, and an inlet shutoff valve. Install it downstream of your water pump as a post-tank filter, mounted in your wet bay or an inside storage area.

How the Enhanced Virus Hero System compares
Plenty of RV water filter systems exist - Clear2O, Clearsource and others. But among systems that reach the same true 0.2-micron protection against bacteria and cysts, Clearsource Ultra is the closest comparison. Here’s how they stack up:
Both are three-canister systems with 0.2-micron bacteria and cyst protection using standard 2.5″×10″ cartridges. The Enhanced Virus Hero delivers it for $240 less.
