Wandering Sagebrush Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 We didn’t receive the Truma AquaGo default filter with our 2018 OTT. I’m wondering how important it is to have it for decalcification purposes. Your thoughts?

SNY SD UP Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 (edited) As far as I am aware, there is only one "Filter" associated with the Truma AquaGo. It is the one that you would use to hold the Decalcification Tabs in the screen mesh tube, when doing that process. When not in De-Cal Mode, the wire mesh would catch "particulates" from your water source.

The original filter is used to decalcify the unit. 1 2023 Elite II, Hull# 1386, Lithium Platinum Package (640AH, 400W Roof Solar, 3000W Xantrex Inverter), added 400W Renogy Solar suitcase with Victron MPPT 100/30 CC, Truma water heater & AC TV: 2024 Silverado 2500HD 6.6L 10-Speed Allison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank C Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Do you only have the plug in 12volt anti-freeze heater kit option installed instead of the standard filter? If so, then yes you will need a standard filter to do the de-calcification process. They are available on Amazon from Truma, but pricey! And check in the Truma compartment thoroughly by opening the outside Truma access door. Some owners (and Oliver service folks) tuck the standard filter into the Truma unit in the area of the wiring harnesses. It just fits in there for storage but can be well hidden.

We do not have the anti-freeze kit. probably should have it, based upon our location... Does the screen on the De-Cal tube just keep the De-Cal tabs in place and ensures the particles from there are smaller than the mesh. Does outside water pass thru it on the way to the WH? Or is the only filter for the WH, the one in-line at the water pump? 2 Maggie & Bryan | Arnegard, ND | 2020 LE II "Twins" Hull #665 | 2021 RAM 2500 6.4L HEMI Gasser 4dr 6.5' bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The above filter for decalcification summer use, and the other (optional) anti freeze 12v filter for winter travel. @Wandering Sagebrush Is it possible the previous owners may not have purchased the optional winter travel filter? We are really spoiled having the Truma on demand endless hot water, especially when using full hook ups and when it comes time for winterizing. 1 1 2020 OLEII - Hull #634 aka- “XPLOR” 2021 F350 6.7 liter Diesel Lariat Ultimate Tremor North Carolina 🇺🇸 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 12VDC winter filter is all that came with our Ollie. I’ll order the other so we can decalcify the unit. 2 Hull #364 - The Roadrunner 2023 F350 CCLB SRW 6.7L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
