This is brilliant. We have a set of filters in our emergency stock. I had planned to use plastic buckets, but those stainless pots have changed my mind.

Great video thank you.
I was tempted to go for food grade buckets, but after watching this I am convinced my original instinct to use the stainless steel stock pans was in fact right!

Great video....I will order from your links and get it done with my 8yr son.I was just about to go ahead and attempt with the plastic buckets before I found your videos, so THANKS!!

Awesome work! I would like to try this.

I like your ideas here. Perhaps placing a large pressure cooker lid seal where the bottom pot lip and the top pot side meet
would be helpful in order to keep contaminated water from dripping down the sides and into the purified water container.

Just subbed great video thanks so much

Great! I see now why Berkey has that bulge on the bottom of their top tank. We're already brainstorming improvements like you did.

Use the lid to sit it on instead of the L brackets. Just need to remove the handle and make a couple of larger holes that line up with the filters. If the lid isn't flat enough perhaps bash it out
OR just cut one huge hole leaving about a 2 inch ring

You could use a paper plate or round piece of paper, fold it twice to get the places you want to drill, or whatever. I’m no good at math and as a quilter…this is the method I use. Still watching but adding machine ta-e folded in half or fourths measures around things.

For smaller amounts of drinking water, the Zero Water pitcher is excellent. Im guessing it is comparable to Berkey in filtration.

You did a GREAT job on this video! You were very thorough and precise. I will definitely check out your other videos. Are you or were you an engineer by trade? Thank you again for your guidance!

You can make your own filter holder and use charcoal from the fish department at the pet store comes in milk carton.

Remove labels with a heat gun or oil like olive oil

Do you have an idea on how to close the gaping hole where the two pots don't nest closed? I envision all manner of dust/debris/pet hair getting into the filtered water through there. For me, the only place I have to stand the pots for use is on top of my dryer (I live in a tiny house). What can be used as a gasket to close that gap? Otherwise, I CAN'T WAIT TO GET STARTED! I live in an area where the municipal water is trash and they failed all quality testing. I've been using Zero water filters but they are not as good as they tout. So glad I found you! Thanks!
