MicroLite 23LB water filter cartridge replacement model?

Hi Everyone

We just purchased a 2011 Flagstaff MicroLite 23LB, and I have a question regarding the water filter. The trailer was winterized when we purchased it, and I noticed that the water filter element has been removed, however the housing is still there and full of RV antifreeze. In the literature that came with the trailer, there is no mention of what type of filter I will require to replace the element. Can someone let me know the make/model of the water filter? Pretty sure it would be standard across the board, but I did a search on this forum and couldn't find where the model itself was mentioned (only folks trying to find out where it was located).

Thanks!

Best would be to post a picture of your filter housing, different types have been installed over the years.....

Not the greatest picture (I was trying to photograph the writing on the side).

Can not say which filter housing you have. A full picture would be required. Most likely made by WaterPur......here is link to website.

If your camper didn’t come with one you may want to buy a water filter housing wrench as they are hard to open.

It looks like it takes any 10" filter that looks like these.

It did come with a filter housing wrench, which looks very similar to the wrenches on the WaterPur site. Can you use the Pentek filters in the WaterPur housing?
