Something much of the audience might miss, but many who follow will agree. That, this man already has a filter, but made another one for the benefit of others. With a special focus on it being gravity fed for those who are without power in these trying times. 10/10

If you use charcoal in North America, do not use regular barbeque charcoal because it's full of chemicals. You will want to make your own.

Great job on this video! I was a certified water treatment operator before retirement. This was a fabulous inexpensive and easy to build a slow sand filter.

2 things i noticed with his materials #1 if u use a shirt make sure to use synthetic material as cotton and other natural materials will rot i would prefer to use a food grade synthetic filter material wich are fairly cheep.. #2 when perchasing sand make sure to use coarse plain sand if u see a redish dusty like material with the sand it more likely contains clay wich contain vering amounts of lead this will be toxic to u... this gravity techniqe is a very good inexpensive way to clean water if done correctly with quality materials ..thank you sr for this important lesson..

I get free blue barrels at my work. The charcoal i can make myself. The sand i can get for free at a local beach i fish at. The larger rock i can get out of the mississippi river i live next to. I use 2 500 gallon barrels to fill with rainwater or river water. I use 3rd barrel to clean it. Wonderful. I use my 5 gallon jug with spicket to fill and use as my drinking water. Easy cool set up. Charcoal MUST be a fine powder for maximum effect.

You could wash sand and activated charcoal before you add it to the barrel. Then you can use it sooner.

Agreed, however, in my mind I'd prefer to allow the charcoal to penetrate and wash through the sand to clean the bacteria all the way through. Maybe I'm wrong about that, but it would give me the peace of mind for a bit more filtering work before drinking.

Thank you for providing this. Also, you did a great job with the language. As a certified and licensed water worker, its good for anyone to understand the cleansing of the water supply for use in such conditions. For the prepared water in the bucket it is a good idea to also keep some bleach near just as a precaution. Lastly, I'd recommend crushing the charcoal and maybe pre-washing the sand. Go Ukraine! Your efforts are much appreciated.

Excellent instructions! When you replace the charcoal cruse it down to small pieces so the water has more contact area when it passes through. This will provide a better end result.

2 kinds of charcoal. Well besides soft wood and hard wood. Theres activated charcoal and charcoal. You want charcoal thats been activated usually by being dunked in water while red hot. Distilled water the charcoal will have micro fractures that make them better filters. Regular charcoal will not have these micro cracks but will have plenty of tubes that will also filter.

@@KravMike08 I was also thinking of the reverse. First line of defense is gravel, second is sand and third charcoal. So charcoal should be at the bottom.. and gravel at the top. Am I correct?

Hi, thank you so much for describing how to make this filter. I have now made my own for my off-grid land and am so pleased that it works so beautifully. Your explanation is just exactly what I needed to know in order to understand how to do it. Thank you so much. You have helped me so much. Best of luck to you and all in Ukraine.

Teaching others is a gift thank you, so much for taking the time to teach this potential life saving method of filtering water May God bless you.

IF I had the benefit of another bucket, I would put the bucket after the barrel. The bucket would have the charcoal in it, the barrel would have the gravel/sand in it. This way, the charcoal is the final 'finish' filter, and I could change out the charcoal as you suggest. Because 'activated carbon' is created in a certain way to increase its surface area to remove more contaminates, I would use your 'real' charcoal, which has no chemicals to catch fire easier applied to it, and I would crush it down somewhat to increase its surface area to make your charcoal more efficient at filtering. Thank you for taking the time to make this to help other people in need! May God watch over and protect you/yours.

I helped make this filter in Dembi Dollo, Ethiopia in Spring 2011 with an engineering professor from Loren’s SC as an experiment. It was designed by his students.The water pumped up from the river required boiling and filtering. We used varying sizes of and and gravel in a similar sized barrel. We were using a commercially available filter, but experimented with this one and it worked very well.

Excellent Robert! Thank you. Please keep making excellent videos because they are very helpful.

Use the basics that mother earth supplies us and forget about technology. Make it simple, Simon. AWESOME!!!

This is both the easiest and best off grid water filter I've viewed on KZread. Thank you very much. I'm a Prepper and have several shop bought water filters. They're great, but I have worried about losing them or them breaking as I didn't understand how to make one or why things are done in a certain way. I started trying to build one recently and I think your design will suit my circumstances very well. Thank you so much for making this video. By the way, your English is excellent, and very clear and easy to understand.

I'm in usa and our charcoal is different I believe, but I have a thing to make biochar and I bet I could do that instead! I'm gonna try this weekend! I've been wanting to set one up. Thank you so much for your awesome instruction! This saves so much $

EXCELLENT WORK!

Thank you. Very good information for all of us. You taught us clearly and demonstrated how to build this. The charcoal is biochar-type charcoal which is different. We are living in dangerous times and need this simple technology.

I absolutely loved this. Very informative. I would love to understand better what you were trying to describe when you were talking about the tank being full and not empty and the need to have the faucet/spigot high and not at the bottom of the tank. It sounds like you want the tank full of water at all times because that allows the charcoal and sand to kill pathogens and bacteria. I wasn't clear on what you were saying though. It seemed very interesting, and I wanted to understand better. The part about a fabric filter above and below the charcoal was absolutely brilliant! It is so easily replaced and immediately reminded me of the charcoal filter in my coffee maker!

This filter WILL NOT kill pathogens and bacteria. It will filter debris and turbity. In essence, this filter will make the water clear and make it taste free. Depending on the source, this water is probably safe without further treatment. However, to be sure there are absolutely no pathogens or bacteria you would still need to sanitize the water by boiling or adding a few drops of Chlorine.

The surface area of the sand helps collect micro-particulates and a lovely place for 2 types of beneficial-bacteria to convert toxic Ammonia to less toxic Nitrites and the other type to convert Nitrites to much less toxic Nitrates. Those beneficial-bacteria die if the sand dries out and takes 6 weeks or so to re-populate. Chlorine off-gasses in 24 hours naturally. Carbon hardwood-charcoal provides a ridiculously high surface area to bind other toxic contaminants and eventually clogs so you replace that. You can even make your own activated charcoal at home. Don’t use the processed charcoal-briquettes or squares. I think he covers most of the above in the video, maybe quickly. This is a beautifully simple and effective setup.

You are so cool. Thank you for helping me with design and showing me what to do for clean water when there is no electricity. From 60 yr old mom and grandma of enough children to keep me busy.
