Water filter and water regulator, to prevent large particules to get inside your rig and obstruct the pipes, the valves and prevent damage to your water pump. Some filtration units can even be so efficient that the water could be drinkable. The water Pressure Regulator is a must with the filtration unit. Since is job is to make sure that the pressure inside your rig doesn’t exceed what is recommended from your manufacturer.
