Camco Water Fresheners & Conditioners

Camco TastePURE: Keeping Your Fresh Water Tank Clean and Great-Tasting

Anyone who has spent a season or two on the road knows that a fresh water tank left untreated is a recipe for unpleasant surprises. Algae blooms, slime buildup, and stale odors can turn stored water into something you would never want near your cup or your cooking pot. That is exactly the problem that Camco set out to solve with its dedicated line of Water Fresheners & Conditioners — and the TastePURE product family has become a go-to solution for RV and marine enthusiasts across the country.

The TastePURE Product Line

Camco's water freshener and conditioner lineup centers on two complementary products designed to cover different treatment scenarios:

• TastePURE Drinking Water Freshener (16 oz): This concentrated liquid treatment targets algae and slime buildup directly inside your fresh water tank. The formula relies on a dilute solution of sodium hypochlorite — a compound widely used in municipal water treatment — to sanitize stored water. The dosage is straightforward: just one ounce treats 20 gallons, meaning a single 16 oz bottle can deliver up to 320 gallons of clean, treated water.
• TastePURE Spring Fresh Water System Cleaner & Deodorizer (1 Gallon): This larger-format, biodegradable formula is engineered for whole-system cleaning and deodorizing, making it particularly useful for dewinterizing fresh water tanks and lines at the start of camping season. Its one-step, no-measure design means there is no mixing or preparation required — one gallon of solution handles tanks up to 100 gallons in capacity.

Why Camco Stands Out in This Category

Camco has been a leading aftermarket parts and accessories manufacturer serving the outdoor recreation market for decades, earning a reputation for practical, field-tested solutions across RV, marine, and camping applications. What sets their water treatment products apart is the attention to simplicity and efficiency: both TastePURE products are designed so that even first-time RV owners can get reliable results without guesswork. The compact 16 oz freshener bottle is sized for easy on-the-go storage in an RV compartment, while the gallon-size Spring Fresh formula reduces the need for repeated purchases during active camping seasons.

These water fresheners and conditioners are also engineered for dual-use, performing equally well in marine fresh water systems — an important consideration for boaters who face the same tank stagnation challenges as RVers. The biodegradable formula in the Spring Fresh line reflects Camco's awareness of the outdoor environments their customers operate in, making it a conscientious choice for campers and boaters who care about the ecosystems around them.

When and How to Use These Products

For routine maintenance, the TastePURE Drinking Water Freshener is best added when filling the tank — simply fill the tank to about one-quarter capacity, add the appropriate amount of freshener, then top off with fresh water. No flushing is needed after treatment. For seasonal dewinterizing or deep cleaning of water lines and tanks, the Spring Fresh Cleaner & Deodorizer provides a more thorough system-wide refresh in a single step. For the most comprehensive water quality results, these fresheners pair well with a TastePURE inline water filter, which addresses taste and odor at the point of use.
