use two o-rings on the faucet or a couple of rubber washers and that will seal and take up the extra space on the faucet threads. one inside and one on the outside.

Excellent, thanks! One thing I noticed about those inexpensive plastic spigots, is that they are prone to leak in a short time. You will need spare washers. You could twist-tie some extra washers to the spigot for convenience in an outage easier to find a backup washer in the panic and storm with lights out. It is also possible to buy spigots designed with a slight curve on the base and nut mating surfaces. That corrects the problem of the regular spigots failure, the curvature of the vessel. Or perhaps it is merely the washers themselves that are curved. Apparently it makes a difference because these well designed spigots don't leak after only a short time..

What a great idea, thank you!

You can just add activated charcoal in the upper pot to improve flavor. The charcoal also reduces the slime build up on the ceramic filters. Filters vary, but most can tell you how many gallons they can handle. I keep a notebook for each filter I use, so I can make sure not to exceed the amount of water the filter is rated to handle. I usually change filters at 90-95% of that amount. For instance, on a 500 gallon filter, I change filters between 450 and 480 gallons, just to be safe. That's when I'm using traditional filters, but I am switching over to building my own filters, so I can just replenish filter media. I use stackable, stainless steel steamer baskets to hold each layer of media, stacked in a bucket or deep stainless steel pot, like you use for your build. I limit my water flow to not overwhelm the filter through using a funnel to limit the intake, and it's very, very cheap. My filtering materials for my household of 3 costs about $100 per year for about 4,000 gallons of drinking water. I renew/replace my filter media every 400 gallons. I based this off another video I watched, but your system would be great for nomads.

Very informative video! Thanks.

Thank You for video!! Very helpful!

These are uncertain times now more than ever. It never hurts to be prepared with a way to filter drinking water. If we do have to make our own water access to a doctor might not be available making filtering even more important. Lets hope we don't but be prepared if we do. Thanks

Step drill would work well for the holes on the bottom

Awesome. Its important to show how it can be done on a budget. Thank you.

Thanks. I did not know of those ceramic filters. Nice project.
