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 suppose it’s not a bad idea if you don’t mind drinking the carcinogenic toxins in those plastic lowes buckets. Im pretty sure there’s a warning on the side that says not to be used for food or drink.
Lowe’s also offers a ‘food grade’ 5 gal bucket. Its white and thicker plastic than the regular buckets.
Let’s see lab tests
ask that when we have no power and you didn’t pay attention.
All you dicks opened this link and then whined about its contents !
the filter system is good, berkey / doulton ceramic filters are good but there is a better filter available for a little more money. check out ProPure

There you go. Being prepared is not paranoia it’s just smart.
