DIY homemade WATER FILTER

DIY Survival water filter for every home. I designed this filter, especially for Ukraine. This means that the water filter does not need electricity to operate and is completely off the grid. Such a filter can be used to clean water from rivers, lakes, rainwater, and ponds. We replace the charcoal with a new one every three months and clean the sand and gravel only if the filter becomes clogged.
It takes about one to two hours to filter one bucket of water, the water flows very slowly through the filter and this is good because we are filtering the water.
The filter must not be frozen.
For the first month of using the water filter, it would be appropriate to boil the water before using it for food. The filter will be in full operation after one and a half to two months, during which time the microorganisms will be in full operation inside the filter.
Such a filter cleans water mechanically and biologically.
My experience with building natural filters is:
For about five years I have been building, testing, and designing my natural filters for natural pools, natural ponds, and natural treatment plants. I had a company in the construction of natural swimming pools and natural water treatment plants.
Filter material
-120 liter barrel
- one bucket of gravel
- 100 kilograms of sand
- 5 kilograms of charcoal
- filter fabric
- 70 centimeters of garden hose
Вибачте, я не володію УКРАЇНСЬКОЮ, перекладав гугл транслейт
Фільтр для води Survival своїми руками для кожного дому. Я розробив цей фільтр спеціально для України. Це означає, що водяний фільтр не потребує електроенергії для роботи та повністю відключений від мережі. Такий фільтр можна використовувати для очищення води з річок, озер, дощової води, ставків. Ми замінюємо деревне вугілля на нове кожні три місяці, а пісок і гравій очищаємо тільки в тому випадку, якщо фільтр забився.
Щоб відфільтрувати одне відро води, потрібно приблизно одну-дві години, вода дуже повільно тече через фільтр, і це добре, тому що ми фільтруємо воду.
Фільтр не повинен замерзати.
Перший місяць використання фільтра для води доцільно кип'ятити воду перед використанням в їжу. Фільтр буде працювати на повну через півтора-два місяці, за цей час мікроорганізми будуть повністю працювати всередині фільтра.
Такий фільтр очищає воду механічно і біологічно.
Мій досвід створення природних фільтрів:
Близько п’яти років я створював, тестував і проектував свої природні фільтри для природних басейнів, природних ставків і природних очисних споруд. У мене була компанія з будівництва природних басейнів і очисних споруд природної води.
Фільтруючий матеріал
- Бочка 120 літрів
- одне відро гравію
- 100 кг піску
- 5 кілограм деревного вугілля
- фільтруюча тканина
- 70 сантиметрів садового шланга

Something much of the audience might miss, but many who follow will agree. That, this man already has a filter, but made another one for the benefit of others. With a special focus on it being gravity fed for those who are without power in these trying times. 10/10

Great job on this video! I was a certified water treatment operator before retirement. This was a fabulous inexpensive and easy to build a slow sand filter.

@Tipledan 2 ай бұрын

Thank you for providing this. Also, you did a great job with the language. As a certified and licensed water worker, its good for anyone to understand the cleansing of the water supply for use in such conditions. For the prepared water in the bucket it is a good idea to also keep some bleach near just as a precaution. Lastly, I'd recommend crushing the charcoal and maybe pre-washing the sand. Go Ukraine! Your efforts are much appreciated.

2 things i noticed with his materials #1 if u use a shirt make sure to use synthetic material as cotton and other natural materials will rot i would prefer to use a food grade synthetic filter material wich are fairly cheep.. #2 when perchasing sand make sure to use coarse plain sand if u see a redish dusty like material with the sand it more likely contains clay wich contain vering amounts of lead this will be toxic to u... this gravity techniqe is a very good inexpensive way to clean water if done correctly with quality materials ..thank you sr for this important lesson..

You could wash sand and activated charcoal before you add it to the barrel. Then you can use it sooner.

@UseYourBrain. 15 күн бұрын

Agreed, however, in my mind I'd prefer to allow the charcoal to penetrate and wash through the sand to clean the bacteria all the way through. Maybe I'm wrong about that, but it would give me the peace of mind for a bit more filtering work before drinking.

@spockmcoyissmart961 Жыл бұрын

IF I had the benefit of another bucket, I would put the bucket after the barrel. The bucket would have the charcoal in it, the barrel would have the gravel/sand in it. This way, the charcoal is the final 'finish' filter, and I could change out the charcoal as you suggest. Because 'activated carbon' is created in a certain way to increase its surface area to remove more contaminates, I would use your 'real' charcoal, which has no chemicals to catch fire easier applied to it, and I would crush it down somewhat to increase its surface area to make your charcoal more efficient at filtering. Thank you for taking the time to make this to help other people in need! May God watch over and protect you/yours.

I helped make this filter in Dembi Dollo, Ethiopia in Spring 2011 with an engineering professor from Loren’s SC as an experiment. It was designed by his students.The water pumped up from the river required boiling and filtering. We used varying sizes of and and gravel in a similar sized barrel. We were using a commercially available filter, but experimented with this one and it worked very well.

@keithbrookshire Жыл бұрын

Excellent instructions! When you replace the charcoal cruse it down to small pieces so the water has more contact area when it passes through. This will provide a better end result.

2 kinds of charcoal. Well besides soft wood and hard wood. Theres activated charcoal and charcoal. You want charcoal thats been activated usually by being dunked in water while red hot. Distilled water the charcoal will have micro fractures that make them better filters. Regular charcoal will not have these micro cracks but will have plenty of tubes that will also filter.

So will placing everything in the reverse order of what he does.... Charcoal should be last.... Gravel first, Sand next and charcoal last........ and like you said crush the charcoal and get more surface area and better filtration!!! It's simple math really 👽

@lawrencepatricio5776 3 ай бұрын

@@KravMike08 I was also thinking of the reverse. First line of defense is gravel, second is sand and third charcoal. So charcoal should be at the bottom.. and gravel at the top. Am I correct?

I get free blue barrels at my work. The charcoal i can make myself. The sand i can get for free at a local beach i fish at. The larger rock i can get out of the mississippi river i live next to. I use 2 500 gallon barrels to fill with rainwater or river water. I use 3rd barrel to clean it. Wonderful. I use my 5 gallon jug with spicket to fill and use as my drinking water. Easy cool set up. Charcoal MUST be a fine powder for maximum effect.

I absolutely loved this. Very informative. I would love to understand better what you were trying to describe when you were talking about the tank being full and not empty and the need to have the faucet/spigot high and not at the bottom of the tank. It sounds like you want the tank full of water at all times because that allows the charcoal and sand to kill pathogens and bacteria. I wasn't clear on what you were saying though. It seemed very interesting, and I wanted to understand better. The part about a fabric filter above and below the charcoal was absolutely brilliant! It is so easily replaced and immediately reminded me of the charcoal filter in my coffee maker!

@keithbrookshire Жыл бұрын

This filter WILL NOT kill pathogens and bacteria. It will filter debris and turbity. In essence, this filter will make the water clear and make it taste free. Depending on the source, this water is probably safe without further treatment. However, to be sure there are absolutely no pathogens or bacteria you would still need to sanitize the water by boiling or adding a few drops of Chlorine.

@ruidadgmailcanada8508 Жыл бұрын

The surface area of the sand helps collect micro-particulates and a lovely place for 2 types of beneficial-bacteria to convert toxic Ammonia to less toxic Nitrites and the other type to convert Nitrites to much less toxic Nitrates. Those beneficial-bacteria die if the sand dries out and takes 6 weeks or so to re-populate. Chlorine off-gasses in 24 hours naturally. Carbon hardwood-charcoal provides a ridiculously high surface area to bind other toxic contaminants and eventually clogs so you replace that. You can even make your own activated charcoal at home. Don’t use the processed charcoal-briquettes or squares. I think he covers most of the above in the video, maybe quickly. This is a beautifully simple and effective setup.
