@blinko656 I believe these are 10,000 gallon filters. The filters I I used in the vid are basic sediment filters to remove particulate matter and things like chlorine

@NeverEnuffAmmo is there a way to make this so that it will remove fluoride? what kind of filter will i need to find? i would much rather make my own. ps thank you for the video!
neaxt time can you get to the fucking meat of the fucking video and save the long long ass intro for some other time, or like for your wife the one that has to listen to you yapping shit for ever...
Good video,but one thing i noticed,is the flow of water on those type filters(Same ones i use on my well),are supposed to flow from the outside to the center and out.Need to check and see if the filter can be used both directions..I know if mine, flowed in the center and out through the outside,that little hole passage would stop up in 2 days,with all the silt in get..
@DisturbedPrepper This is specifically an "inside to outside flow" filter, and thats the standard for most in-home filters, filters like u would use in an under-sink filtration system, water fountain, or refrigerator water filter, those are the most common, easiest to find and cheapest filters
Cool video! I have a couple questions: Can you filter 5 gallons at a time with this setup? Im thinking that the flow rate would drastically reduce as the filter becomes more and more submerged. Second, would one want the filter hanging down in a full 5 gallons of newly filtered water? Im thinking of taking this idea, and adding another bucket (stack of 3) just to insure a 100% flow rate and to keep the filter from sitting there in the product. What do you think. very cool channel btw.
@dirtypill1 The filter being free of the water would allow for faster filtering, this basic sytem would easily allow for a 3rd bucket to be added for that purpose
@dirtypill1 - You can do some great things with a multi-bucket version of this. For instance, use a 5-micron filter into a 1 micron + charcoal 2nd bucket into a 0.5 micron + activated carbon 3rd bucket. That way you have multi-stage filtering that would beat even a berkey.
@PHANTOMSLAYER7 This is just a basic filter to remove particulate matter from the water, the vid was just an example of how cheap u can build a basic filtration system, u can however use whatever filter u want with this system. My recommendation would be to use some sort of way to purify the water after filtering for safety. Try using something like Calcium Hypocloride for purifying the water
Nice work brother, I am partial to the filter made by MONOLITHIC for a two bucket filtration system. This is a great low cost filter system, once again nice work.

@dsarti1 It's not intended to do that, this was a vid to make the cheapest "FILTER" possible, not something to completely purify the water, it is assumed that after filtering you would boil or treat the water in some way if u used this filter. I also stated in the vid that this design works with any filter u want to use but that I picked this one for its price to show how cheap u can build a basic filtration system
@NeverEnuffAmmo Why not just make a re-fillable charcoal filter? The ones on the market are mostly based on disable locked up expensive cartridges which are easy enough to make yourself. Something more people need good instructions and suggestions for as it's a real hunt for info on bits of gear that fit together.
ok i think i found my error... it just takes a while for the filter to soak up some water and then you start seeing water filtering through... i guess your video decieved me because you show it and its pouring water right off the bat. i guess you had water in there for a few before you started filming.
@MrKentactic Yeah the filter I was using in the vid was already wet because I had tested it earlier that day and it takes about 24 hours for those filters to completely dry out. But yeah they have to be saturated pretty good to start filtering through.
@NeverEnuffAmmo cool man thanks for making the video.. i dont know if you know this or not but in CA and i beleive illinois.. the cermaic filters are illegal to have due to environmental crap so no one will ship them to us... i was searching for an alternative. and this is it!!
I recreated the same system youve shown in the video. and the filter dosent allow any water by. i tested this by just sealing one end and filling the filter up with water. almost no water seaps through. i think these filters ar e meant to filter under pressure only. with all of that said i think maybe yours just has a leak and is allowing water to bypass the filter in some way and end up in the bottom bucket. let me know what you think.
@MrKentactic I've tried this with 7 different filters, and they all work, the only thing I can think of is that u may have gotten a filterthat either is an outside-in filter instead of and inside-out filter or possibly one of the pressure type filters, the filters I use are just the inexpensive in-line inside-out filters from home depot that are used for either in-line filtration systems like what u would put under your sink to filter water before it goes through the faucet or refridgerator
@MrKentactic Continued ..... I can tell u that it can take a few minutes before the water begins to come through the fibers of the filter, but they do come through, and it's not a leak, it filters very evenly through the filter, and it doesn't take much water to make it happen, just enuff water to fill the bucket about an inch creates more than enuff pressure for the water to filter through easily. Not sure why your having trouble.
@NeverEnuffAmmo interesting.. yeah im using the twin pack for like 10 bucks from home depot.. as far as i can tell its the same filter your using in the video. i took the filter by itself and plugged the bottom with my hand and then filled the inside of the filter up and the water just sits in there. almost no water seaps through it at all. id say it might take an hour just to get the water inside the filter itself to filter through.
@MrKentactic Yeah I've got 4 of those filters, another 2 that I got that are shorter for water fountains and one I got thats out of another kind of sink filteration system (can't remember the name) and they all work, but I did notice that the filter takes awhile (5 to 10 minutes) of being full and getting saturated before the water starts filtering through
@cokolt This type of filter is a one way inside out filter, and most of the filters for tap water, in sinks, water fountains and refridgerators are all this type of inside out one way filter, it's cheap and easy to use so I designed the filtering system around this cheap and easy to find filter. U can get outside in one way filters like those that Berkey sells, but they're much more expensive, but it would work with this system I designed just by moving the filter to the top bucket.
Great video! Very informative and excellent instructions. I have been looking for clear instructions so I may construct one. Thanks for helping out sir.
Now explain to me why... Ur system has an awful lot of store bought steel parts that are made with all kinds of grease and lubricant if u handle em enough look at ur hands after. Also now u have all that metal sitting in your drinking water. Am I missing something obvious? Tell me
@Komplikhated First off, all parts have been cleaned with bleach before using, thats just common sense. Second, there is no reason to leave these parts sitting in water, the bottom bucket where the water goes has no metal in it, once the water passes from the top to bottom bucket the parts dry off, or u can do what I do which is remove the parts when not in use and actually dry them off, but even if u left it assembled nothing sits in water once the filtration process has happened
@etphonehome2915 All filtered water should be treated after being filtered, either chemically treated or boiled, as a precaution, regardless of what filtration system is used.
Yes in most cases, but there filters out there that does the job with bacteria, viruses and protozoa. It depends on the pore size of the filter. Most viruses are about 20 nm and above.
@etphonehome2915 Thats true but this vid is about how to make an inexpensive filteration system for an emergency situation that will work with almost any filter u use, I used this filter to show how inexpensive u can start out. But u can use better filters with this system. I didn't make this vid to say this is the best filter u can use, quite the opposite. Even with the best filer I would recommend treating your water after filtration just to be safe.
Matt, the cartage filters are not any good for sediment filtering they will clog up fast and do not get rid of pathogens. I would suggest making a Sand Filter. There are a few YouTube Vids on them.
@Ebiczebulanious This vid is about making a cheap bulk water filtration system to use in a pinch, u can use any high dollar filter with this setup, I chose to use a cheap sediment filter to make a point about how u can make a system and do some basic filtering cheap. As for pathogens, all filtered water should be boiled or chemically treated if at all possible after being filtered, even the high end filtration systems recommend that.
@NeverEnuffAmmo Bio Sand filters are cheaper and just as easy to make. You do not need chemicals or boiling and no filters to replace. They will filter sediment far below 1 micron. I am thinking in terms of a SHTF situation not gust removing chlorine and large particulate matter from tap water. None of the expensive filters you mentioned will be of much use after a heave rain fall because of the sediment in the water.
@MrJmfitch The filter I'm using here is a basic drinking water filter that would be used in a household water system, it removes sedement, rust, chlorine & other chemical tastes, so with this filter you would treat your water after filtering it, but for a $5 dollar filter it works well. U can get other filter that are rated for biologics in the same places u get these for about $20 to $30 bucks. I designed the system to work with any filter u want to use on it.
online aquarium suppliers have pretty good prices for 1 or even .5 micron filters.
This is a great DIY setup - only suggestion I would make is that it's been found that fine cotton weave fabrics used for saris and such folded to give 4 layers are very effective for fine particulate and bacteria filtration. Doing this would extend the life of your charcoal filter and you can allus wash and dry the sari cloth for next use
@GoatHollow This one I'm using for the demonstration of how cheap u can build a filtration system is only a 10 micron filter at 5,000 gallons, but thats pretty good for a $5 dollar filter. You can get a GE brand 1 micron filter at home depot for $24.99 which is a much better deal, but like I said, for the vid I wanted to show how cheap u can makes these, but u can use whatever filter u want with this setup.
@NeverEnuffAmmo That's pretty good at 10 microns. I'd say 1 micron is probably overkill. Somewhere around 5 would be good enough. Especially if you built another one, and ran your filtered water through a charcoal filter afterwards.
@NeverEnuffAmmo Use the 10 micron filter as a pre filter and cover it with urethane foam to keep it from clogging as fast. You end up having a 3 bucket system. One micron water should be save to drink with out boiling or chemical treatment.
Rather than having to remove the top section to get to the water, you can make another hole on the side close to the bottom and add a water tap(spigot).
@seahorsecowboys The hardware is stainless, and I have food grade buckets but like I said in the vid I didn't want to cut holes in those while experementing to see if I could make a filtration system that works so I just used a couple of Home Depot buckets.
@RETIREMESOON I'd rather just tell people how to make it themselves, plus everybody may want to make small changes to it themselves depending on how they want it. Not worried about making any money on it.
What stops the water from seeping through all the threads of the rod? Looks like some good thread tape would fix that or maybe even just some caulking. I agree with the others that have said stainless steel for the hardware. Anyway, great video and could really be a life saver when paired with chemical purification (or boiling).
@gboyd242 The stacked/sandwiched gaskets and washers when tightened seal the end of the filter so the water doesn't come out, and the wingnuts, rod & castle nut are stainless but I'm not sure about the washers, it only takes about 45 seconds to put it together so I don't leave any of the parts sitting in water for any period of time because I disassemble it for storage where it stays dry until it needs to be use (which is hopefully never) so I'm not worried at all about rusting problems.
@NeverEnuffAmmo I don't think you are getting what I'm trying to say. The water can seep through the threads in between the nut and the bolt. A metal to metal contact is not going to make a waterproof seal. It would be a very small amount of water seeping through but maybe enough to contaminate the bottom bucket.
How much caffeine did you drink before making that video....?...very cool idea. Go get some dirty pond or lake water and put that think to the test!!!
@Hoosier9mm None actually, I was trying to get through the vid as fast as possible cause I had tried several times to do it and it kept coming out waaaaayyyy too long ..... lol
@Takuan66 That rod, wingnuts, and castle nut are stainless but not sure about the washers. Not really worried about it though since it only take about 45 seconds to put together so I leave it disassembled for storage so everything is dried and not sitting in water while being stored, so rust is not an issue.
Some cylindrical filters are designed to accept water on the outside and are sort of "one way" in that respect. Also a pleated filter can be cleaned from the outside. It might be a good idea to consider these 2 notions and reverse the position of the filter ... mounting in the top bucket instead.
@ZombieTactics It will work either way, I designed it to work with either type of filter, obviously for the vid I wanted to show how it can work well with the most basic, cheapest and most widely available type of filter, but it can be used with the filter in the top bucket with any type of "outside in" type of filter as well, u simply reverse the position of the sealed gasket end and the end with the castle nut and allow the water to flow out the bottom.
@lpdavisakgto Well it just depends on what filter u use, the one I used for the vid filters out sedement, some particulate matter, and bad taste, ut u can get better filters to go with this system. That was the point, to make a system that u could use with any standard designed and sized filter

online aquarium suppliers have pretty good prices for 1 or even .5 micron filters.
This is a great DIY setup - only suggestion I would make is that it's been found that fine cotton weave fabrics used for saris and such folded to give 4 layers are very effective for fine particulate and bacteria filtration. Doing this would extend the life of your charcoal filter and you can allus wash and dry the sari cloth for next use

What micron filters are you using?
GoatHollow 10 months ago
@GoatHollow This one I'm using for the demonstration of how cheap u can build a filtration system is only a 10 micron filter at 5,000 gallons, but thats pretty good for a $5 dollar filter. You can get a GE brand 1 micron filter at home depot for $24.99 which is a much better deal, but like I said, for the vid I wanted to show how cheap u can makes these, but u can use whatever filter u want with this setup.
NeverEnuffAmmo 10 months ago
@NeverEnuffAmmo That's pretty good at 10 microns. I'd say 1 micron is probably overkill. Somewhere around 5 would be good enough. Especially if you built another one, and ran your filtered water through a charcoal filter afterwards.
GoatHollow 10 months ago
@NeverEnuffAmmo Use the 10 micron filter as a pre filter and cover it with urethane foam to keep it from clogging as fast. You end up having a 3 bucket system. One micron water should be save to drink with out boiling or chemical treatment.
astrialkil 10 months ago
@astrialkil Thats a great idea. With this setup there are a number of way a person can set this stuff up to work the way they want it to.
NeverEnuffAmmo 10 months ago
@astrialkil 1 micron will remove all particulates, but not bacteria.
marcjtdc 9 months ago
@marcjtdc Maybe i was thinking .3 micron? I guess you could use a solar oven to heat sterilize the water.
astrialkil 9 months ago
Rather than having to remove the top section to get to the water, you can make another hole on the side close to the bottom and add a water tap(spigot).
matajesus4 10 months ago
@matajesus4 Yeah a spigot is definitely a good idea for it.

seahorsecowboys 10 months ago
@seahorsecowboys The hardware is stainless, and I have food grade buckets but like I said in the vid I didn't want to cut holes in those while experementing to see if I could make a filtration system that works so I just used a couple of Home Depot buckets.

I'm a business guy.
Why don't you have homeless children or disabled people to assemble this so they can make 10 bucks per filtration unit.
They can work at home so you have no overhead.
You could call it "THE FIFTY DOLLAR FILTER " and 50 bucks is what you charge.
$ 25.00 is cost and $ 25.00 is pure profit.

NeverEnuffAmmo 10 months ago
What stops the water from seeping through all the threads of the rod? Looks like some good thread tape would fix that or maybe even just some caulking. I agree with the others that have said stainless steel for the hardware. Anyway, great video and could really be a life saver when paired with chemical purification (or boiling).
gboyd242 10 months ago
@gboyd242 The stacked/sandwiched gaskets and washers when tightened seal the end of the filter so the water doesn't come out, and the wingnuts, rod & castle nut are stainless but I'm not sure about the washers, it only takes about 45 seconds to put it together so I don't leave any of the parts sitting in water for any period of time because I disassemble it for storage where it stays dry until it needs to be use (which is hopefully never) so I'm not worried at all about rusting problems.
NeverEnuffAmmo 10 months ago
@NeverEnuffAmmo I don't think you are getting what I'm trying to say. The water can seep through the threads in between the nut and the bolt. A metal to metal contact is not going to make a waterproof seal. It would be a very small amount of water seeping through but maybe enough to contaminate the bottom bucket.
gboyd242 10 months ago
@gboyd242 That's taken care of with a bit of thread sealant.

Takuan66 10 months ago
@Takuan66 That rod, wingnuts, and castle nut are stainless but not sure about the washers. Not really worried about it though since it only take about 45 seconds to put together so I leave it disassembled for storage so everything is dried and not sitting in water while being stored, so rust is not an issue.

Some cylindrical filters are designed to accept water on the outside and are sort of "one way" in that respect. Also a pleated filter can be cleaned from the outside. It might be a good idea to consider these 2 notions and reverse the position of the filter ... mounting in the top bucket instead.
ZombieTactics 10 months ago
@ZombieTactics It will work either way, I designed it to work with either type of filter, obviously for the vid I wanted to show how it can work well with the most basic, cheapest and most widely available type of filter, but it can be used with the filter in the top bucket with any type of "outside in" type of filter as well, u simply reverse the position of the sealed gasket end and the end with the castle nut and allow the water to flow out the bottom.
NeverEnuffAmmo 10 months ago
@NeverEnuffAmmo Absolutely ... just trying to add to the knowledge base.

great idea i believe i would juat filter out sediment then treat it chemically then do this to get rif of the bad taste
lpdavisakgto 10 months ago
@lpdavisakgto Well it just depends on what filter u use, the one I used for the vid filters out sedement, some particulate matter, and bad taste, ut u can get better filters to go with this system. That was the point, to make a system that u could use with any standard designed and sized filter
