The offer price is good, if you are going for this brand choose the IX600, it uses industry standard cartridges which are easily available. The system is designed for installation in a house so is certainly OK for use in a van. The only problem might be if you have a microswitched water system with a submersible pump. Because of the low pressure of these type of water systems you might find that the flow rate through the filter is quite slow.
The type of filter you need depends on where you are going, if you want to be sure of (microbiologicaly) safe drinking water you need a filter that will remove particles down to around 0.5 microns, but this is not necessary in most of western Europe. It looks like Pozzani can supply replacement filters down to 1.0 microns, but I think finer ones are available from other suppliers.
We have a NaturePure filter (
Nature-Pure Chemical-Free Water Purifiers- General Ecology Europe), which filters down to 0.4 microns, and have drunk the water from it all through Europe to Turkey and also in Morocco, with no ill effects.
Another filter supplier is
Green Plastic Faucet Tap Water Health Filter Purifier - Wholesale Factory Direct, Tap Faucet Water Filter (Type BC), Water Purifier[/url] they sell through eBay.
