I had a charcoal-ceramic filter in an inline configuration. The flow rate at the tap is fine but don't expect to fill a bath with it. An alternative was a charcoal filter in the supply hose and a ceramic connected to the indoor plumbing below the sink. I chose the former as it was more efficient to change the charcoal element in the two stage filter than to buy a new inline hose filter every 6 months. My only problem was keeping the big "O" rings seated when moving. I turned the saddle valve off and this kept the leakage to the small amount that came out while they reseated once I turned the valve back on when I reached my destination.
