It’s always good to have some clean, drinkable water stored as a backup in case something goes wrong with the city supply, but what happens when that runs out? If you’re prepared with one of these easy-to-make water filtration systems you won’t need to worry!
This video shows how to make and use the home made Berkey type water filtration system. This one is made for less than $35 in parts and you will see that it will turn the nastiest of Oklahoma water in to clean SAFE drinking water in a reasonable amount of time. This system is NOT super fast (yet…give me time) but it will clean 5 gallons of drinking water in about 24 hours (Website says 14 per day) . I believe that I may have figured out how to speed that up to 5 gallons in an hour or so, stop back and see it I make that work. This DOES NOT make water drinkable without boiling or adding chlorine or bleach, however in a pinch it would beat drinking it straight out of the river. This works GREAT and is SOOO much cheaper than the store bought systems that do the same thing.
I’ve got a plastic 2, 5 gallon plastic containers filled with water in my basement .When you have well water you never know when the power will go out.I empty them every once and and a while, and refill them.Or just buy several on gallon bottles of water and store them.Then when you need it its There! Of course waiting 24 hours and spending $35.00 sounds fun too!
Did he really make a water filter?
Or just attach a water filter to a f#%king bucket?
THANK GOD YOU WASN’T THIRSTY OR DYING OF THIRST LOL
Attacjed a water filter to a bucket, LOL
Filderd water
Just buy a real filter unit from REI, you’ll thank yourself on about the second day of explosive diarrhea. I’ve filtered pretty dirty backwoods water and still drop some iodine or chlorine in it to make sure.
Google SODIS it uses the sun and collected rain water from roof. Just use a coffee filter to catch the chunks. This is how you drink in 30 some odd countries.

I wouldn’t trust it. Trust evaporation. Pure water every day. The Solarball — stock up on them for the zombie apocalypse. …
Great posts. Order some “Lifestraws” for a real pinch.
