@@alanpeksider2255 I don't recommend the use of charcoal briquettes used in barbecue grills as a filter medium. It's not pure, even when crushed it doesn't have as much surface area by which to capture impurities, and may include chemicals which bind the briquettes together as well as chemicals to help them ignite quicker.

@@alanpeksider2255 "Activated" carbon is what you want to use. It is made by burning at high temperature in the absence of oxygen. This is why if you're making your own in a survival situation you take hot coals from the fire and burry them in the soil until they cool. Otherwise the carbon will already have bonded with other material and not work as a filter. Charcoal for barbecue likely has a number of harmful chemicals as well. Do NOT use it for this. You can pick up "activated" carbon at most pet stores.

Out cheese cloth where? Between each layer?

And here, I bought a $600 Berkey! Thanks for sharing.

I use about 6 layers of pantyhose covered with 4 or 5 layers of cotton t-shirt instead ofthe cheese cloth. And before adding the sand and rocks, either bake them in the oven on 450°F for about 20 min or heat up in a frying pan on high to kill any germs. Or tou can boil them for at least 20 minutes, if you prefer. Also add a spigot to your bottom bucket and set the entire assembly up on some type of pedestal so you can access the purified water more easily. Also, a new teracotta planter with the hole plugged works very well as a filter.

I needed a way to demonstrate how well the water filter works. what better way than to keep refiltering the water used to rinse the stones and charcoal? plus if you live off grid like I do you don't want to just rinse water and throw it away. you need to use it for something. so I didn't forget to rinse the filter medium. that was by design.

Simplest and the most practical and effective method I have seen yet. Been researching purifying water, live out of town and truck broke down 2 months ago and I use it to haul water from the city. Needless to say my water supply was getting very low and had to figure something out. Live in Manitoba and this year we have about 3 feet of snow on the ground and was trying to figure out how I could convert that to clean water. Thank you so much!

Thanks so much for sharing this. I harvest rainwater and am just about to make my own two bucket "kitchen" filter using similar methods...charcoal, sand, small and large pebbles and moss. I'll boil it to drink simply due to the sheer amount of birds we get on our roof (bird poop! Never know what's in it) but even though the mains water here in Ireland is free, it doesn't taste particularly good and to drink it, we've to put it through a filter jug. That takes a lot of expensive filters and the muck and grit that comes from the tap water is pretty bad. So given how much it rains here, I'm keen to make full use of it. :)

Ann's Tiny Life I think the best part of this is you can make it as small a a 2 Ltd bottle (which I watched Ann make in the van life) or as large as a 3-5gallon jug like this. The great part is it doesn’t have to be rain water, I watched Ann’s 2 Ltd. bottle clean water from a lake that looked filthy. It ended up as clean as this water. You wouldn’t have to scoop smaller amounts into the jug you can just pour water from the 5gal bucket into the jug until it is filled to the top. When that filters, just do it again all at once if you need to. I think I would pour the water from the 5 gallon bucket into a few pitchers to fit in the refrigerator one at a time. Store the rest in the water jug she already has with a spigot top. Use the second bucket to place upside down over the opening in the 3-gallon jug until you need to use it again.

Your hair adorable there.

If you have rust water issues you can use acetic acid from white vinegar or lime juices to clear away the rust

I used a small old fire extinguisher as a container, i cut the bottom out with a grinder then I cleaned the fire extinguisher thoroughly from the inside i then cut out the bottom of a 2L plastic water bottle put the fire extinguisher in it and i used a heat gun to shrink the plastic bottle so i can poke a few holes in the lid and use its lid as a drain hole if i lose the lid or it needs an upgrade I'll just get a new one from a different bottle, i used activated charcoal, a thick rough cleaning cloth and on top i used ceramic rocks designed for aquariums to prevent charcoal from floating

If the filtered water begins looking cloudy or taste and smell seems of rebuild it.

The trade off is that it may take a little longer to filter, but not as many times before you produce desired purification.
