I purchased an activated charcoal whole-house water filter from Home Depot and modified it to accept an RV food-safe water hose which I connect right to my sillcock in the garage. I put a valve on before the filter to control water flow. It removes all chlorine but it leaves the minerals, and so far it has worked perfectly for me.

What thing exactly did you buy from HD?

Also "sillcock" hehehe. Yes I am a child.

I purchased a Whirlpool WHCF-DWF Whole House Prefiltration unit and the corresponding WHCF-WHCW carbon filter. Only carbon filters remove chlorine from the water.

Both sides of the filter are threaded, so I just bought whatever parts I needed to attach a hose to either side.
