Make your own water filter and never buy drinking water again.

I live off-grid and rely on rainwater. this filter system is just what I need. I plan on spreading this information to more people. Many thanks!

This is what humanity and internet was meant for. +1

Hi Jon! We found this video several months ago and built the water filter based on your instruction to solve our clean water issue in our small town in Bolivia. We also made a video about it! Just wanted to say THANK YOU! To you and Josh Kearn. Amazing work. Life changing. Keep up the wonderful videos.

I had a aquaculture business in Florida growing salt water LiveRock. Corals,pink coralline algae etc... each rock had over 500 species of life on it. We built reefs out of a100% calcium carbonate rock in the Atlantic Ocean & the Gulf of Mexico. We used a lot of charcoal in our filtration system of about 3,000 gallons. We use to recycle the charcoal by cooking it on cookie sheets in the oven at a preset heat and time. It was then sterile again for reuse. We hardly ever added new charcoal except over time from what spilled or turned to dust. We did this at least a dozen times and never replaced it with new. We kept extra charcoal only to replace very small amount lost charcoal from handling. It never went bad. Don’t remember the temperature or time length of heated oven. But I’m sure you can google it. Hope this may help. Great video, and love & compassion for human life. If everyone that watched this did something to make two other people’s life better, and those two did two more and so on..???? “What a Wonderful World it would be”. Right..??? just saying? Mahalo, & Aloha: Ron

Thank you Jon! I am an environmental geoscientist in Canada and I very much enjoyed your video. The world needs more solutions like this

This is so wonderful and brilliant, thank God for Freedom. Im a trained Chemical Engineer and Molecular Biochemist this is just good Science. Thank You from the USA.

Amazing video. Fantastic English, Great presentation skills, Perfect educator skills. A+++ video

Thank you very much for sharing, I managed to build this system in Kenya! Water purity is really good. God bless you abundantly.

I have seen this type of filter done with two 5-gallon buckets but never on this scale. You did an excellent job explaining the process. Thank you.

I am speechless! Thank you sir for your invaluable contribution in the most helpful and humble way.

This kind of filter is very similar to the kinds of filters used for aquariums. The basic principles are the same, it's only the materials that vary slightly. For anyone trying to replicate this, I recommend looking into what's being done in the aquarium hobby to get some inspiration

Brilliantly simple. And the information is given freely. This is how we should work.

To make your charcoal change easier, you could use the screen netting to make bags to hold the charcoal. When it comes time to change the charcoal, just take the bags out, empty them and refill with fresh char, and put them back in tank 3.

WOW! Just WOW! I am definitely doing this when I am able to purchase my land and start self sufficiency. Thank you sooooo much for the knowledge.

This is awesome! I appreciate all who researched and worked on this project. Thank you for sharing this with us!

This man is a legend....love from Jamaica fam 💚🇯🇲👁️

I'm happier listening in English, thanks for your consideration to educate us all those that follow you from English speaking countries, will continue sharing your contents 🙏👌

Amazing content brother!! This will help a lot of people out! This make you wonder why it’s illegal to do this here in the United States. They want us relying on the government for our food and water supply But regardless of that I am still going to do this!

This is really great! Love the idea of proper natural water filtration. Moving away from buying plastic bottled waters and I feel MUCH better then tap water.. I don’t believe we are meant to be drinking unnatural tap water with chemicals like Chlorine and fluoride and any other unknown chemicals the government puts in tap water. But one thing I really don’t like… (but toldally understand why it’s used and how difficult it would be with out it) is… PLASTIC… I hate the use of so much plastic.. Plastic barrels, pipe fittings, gaskets etc. I am trying to move away completely from using plastics to drinking water. As of right now I am Bottling my own drinking water from a local spring I know here in Northern California In only glass bottles and jugs no plastics. my personal favorite of use is vintage freshly Cleaned glass jugs and bottles that I ether found out on my adventures or was given. I use corks aswell no plastic tops or anything.
