At home WATER FILTER | How to build your own

Quick addition to the video:
1. One of the tools we didn’t mention is a leveler for the platform.
2. It’s only necessary to change out the charcoal every two years.

Here is another way you can be more independent by making a water filtration system for your home and/or your community!

Everyone deserves to have clean drinking water. It effects us negatively spiritually, physically, and mentally to consume water with microplastics, chemicals, pesticides, parasites, and other bacterias. It's freeing to now know how to make a system to be released from these concerns.

We have been ready for a while to get this video out. A BIG THANKS to "Jon Jandai Life Is Easy" for releasing the video with instruction in which we followed to make this system. And Josh Kearn for dedicating years of his life to test this system and the water quality.

Please share this video with others whom you think it will bring value.

Thank you for watching. See you in the next one.

Stay wild and free,
Jessica & Simon

Thanks for spreading a choice for people. You did a good video and easy with good detail . I will recommend others to watch your video. It will be a lot easier when English speaker explain how to do it.

Idea for you. When they make purified sand they basically torch it it in a metal drum rotating the drum of sand and burn the sand which turns bugs, parasites, debris to dust leaving the sand almost white. Sift over a fine screen leaving just the sand, and a much better filtering sand.

Brilliant idea and I like the idea of providing for the community . Well done 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[singingwindrider]

Thankyou so much! for showing all details so clearly. Nicely done video. I had been searching for how to do my own activated carbon.

[Arthur-Silva]

This was very interesting! Thanks for sharing your experience. 👍🏼

[isabelladavis]

This is very in depth and I hope to incorporate a system like this soon for our own property…thanking you so much for sharing this information..blessings wished…

[freedomloveequality]

You guys are doing great work keep it up!

[mauricebrown]

Well done . Serving your community with hopes of clean water for all. A Kiwi's Boys dream for the world..

You did good! Gave me some 💡 ideas for my two 55gal drums. They had food grade peroxide in them so a couple rinses should do it.

Thanks for sharing!
Actually anciant Chinese has been using this method for thousand of years,

my grandpa old house & the whole village have filter similar like
these, but most of them was all in one big clay jar, not four
buckets(which is more advanced), inside also big and small rocks, sand,
screen, cloth and charcoal, to filter water from wells.

Hey! Love 💗 lovely from Africa. I saw the video too and I wanna try it myself too.

Wishing you well 😃💕

[ADPROOF]

AWESOME 😆 THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS AND FOR ALL YOU ARE DOING TO HELP OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS THERE WHERE YOU ARE 💯💯💯 GOD BLESS☝👐☝

[sdula]

Thanks 4 the video, great job!
An advice: in order to use all the volume of the filter you need to cut the excess of the screen: the flap of the net on the barrel wall is a shortcut for the In the video, showing the filling up, the flow can be seen on the wall.

Nice explanation 👌 🎉❤God bless you from India

Having worked with water treatment standards, I'm concerned about the use of bike tires as gaskets. You should really be getting rubber that's rated for drinking water instead of just recycling bike tires. Aside from that this looks like a really cool project!

Ola, Kia Ora and Talofa lava. Im living in Akatarawa NZ off grid using stream water. Thank you for the guide in particular the detailed parts in your vid. Starting this project tomorrow. Holla if you need parts, happy to send to help your community. You two rock! X
Arohanui and alofa atu.

right behind you is a roof fit guttering and down pipes with dump valves and water every time it rains, lived on tank water a long part of my life here in AU and TPNg with the dump valve it puts the first of the a water on the ground thus removing droppings and dust and whatever plus a sieve with fine mesh on the tanks secondary filter .as a Kiwi you would be aware of this , other tip use geo clothe as the filtrating medium as it lets through water but not silt , reason used inland scapeing and other works

[gardnerjoss]

I noticed that your charcoal wasn't all ground down into fine dust and there were lots of chunks/pieces in there. My understanding of charcoal filtration is that it is only as effective (and long lasting) as how fine you are able to make the dust. Did you know that a cup of fine charcoal dust has enough surface area to cover one acre? THAT is how effective filtration works because the huge surface area can bond with a high volume of nasties (heavy metals, etc). So unless you grind it down fine enough, (a) most of the charcoal content is not going to actually touch the water passing through the container (so not a very effective filter), and (b) the filtration effects that you do get will not last that long because most of the charcoal is being wasted. Next time use a pestle and mortar to grind each piece down into fine dust and then it will be almost like a shiny paste when you activate it with the acid. For a few hours more work, you'll have a filter that works 1000 times better at removing the bad stuff, and lasts years instead of months.
