Over at kikuyumoja’s realm, JKE makes a water filter using little more than a couple of plastic containers, a ceramic element and loads of ingenuity.
This is an great way to solve the problem of obtaining potable water in places with a plentiful supply of untreated water.
Great idea! The ceramic filters filter around 1 liter of water an hour or so. To speed up the filtration you can add a couple more into your buckets.

Thanks for the great improvement idea Mark!

Thx!
I’ve meanwhile modified the filter and bought a better filter candle as well a better (plastic) tap.
I made these as a PCV in Kenya in the early 90s. A great modification I made to this plan was to put a tap on the bottom bucket, which allows you to keep the filtered water clean. Don’t have to dip an unclean cup into it.
JKE took your advice and added one

You can find a list of materials as well as a description of how to assemble the filter at this page.

The system is known under the name ‘Kisii filter Bucket’

I read some of the comments, and I was sad to see that people have to put down your home-made water filter. I own a whole house water filter and it cost me over $1,000, but since I live in an older home, it cost me almost the same to install it! Frankly, if folks can’t afford to buy a water filter, why not use a home made one. I have nothing against a quality water filter and I use them. Most folks won’t have the trouble I do with the cost of installation, and drinking filters are not expensive at all to install.
anyway…good work…Ntwiga. Also, I realize that not everyone lives in a country or have the resources to use the quality water filters.
Whole house water filter systems represent the present pinnacle of water filtration technology. While there will certainly be new developments and greater technological advances in the future of water filtration, at this moment in time, whole house water filters are the #1 certified water treatment method for the removal of dangerous water contaminants. In the following paragraphs, you will find some of the more important reasons for purchase and benefits of whole house water filter systems.
