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

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
You are very welcome thank you Triedzi👍🙂
Sir, I enjoyed your video very much. Your English is a little bit off. I commend you for it. You made it uncomplicated and easy to follow. In my opinion you did excellent. 😊
@@vernlunsford4449 I agree ... well done Sir.
Absolutely fantastic excellent sir you are a good man God be with you amen
If you use charcoal in North America, do not use regular barbeque charcoal because it's full of chemicals. You will want to make your own.
👍
Biochar?
@@Paula.M the the barbecue briquettes they are called. They look more like pieces of coal than wood charcoal. They also smell like chemicals.
@@msamour Must be like the coals which we used in the stoves after the war in Germany. Didn't have BBQ then
Just found your channel.
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.
You could wash sand and activated charcoal before you add it to the barrel. Then you can use it sooner.
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.
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.
Thank you too! 👍🙂
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..
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.
You are a Mighty Man, and you have saved lives, and will save lives, by taking the time to make this video. We all thank you sir!
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.
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.
Thank you
charcoal can be prewashed also
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 👽
@@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?
Found what I'm looking for!! And also learned something from reading comments, some experts and DIY makers ideas is a big help. This is a fantastic and informative content. Thank you Sir!!
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.
Use the basics that mother earth supplies us and forget about technology. Make it simple, Simon. AWESOME!!!
Wow! Never thought of leaving extra fabirc to switch out the charcoal! Thank you for the t shirt suggestion as well. Thanks for explaining of the micro organisms cleaning the water.
You are so welcome! 👍🙂
Good tutorial my friend, thank you for explanation ...
This is both the easiest and best off grid water filter I've viewed on TH-cam. Thank you very much. I'm a Prepper and have several shop bought water filters. They're great, but I have worried about losing them or them breaking as I didn't understand how to make one or why things are done in a certain way. I started trying to build one recently and I think your design will suit my circumstances very well. Thank you so much for making this video. By the way, your English is excellent, and very clear and easy to understand.
Teaching others is a gift thank you, so much for taking the time to teach this potential life saving method of filtering water May God bless you.
Hi, thank you so much for describing how to make this filter. I have now made my own for my off-grid land and am so pleased that it works so beautifully. Your explanation is just exactly what I needed to know in order to understand how to do it. Thank you so much. You have helped me so much. Best of luck to you and all in Ukraine.
Thank you so much for teaching me this. I just moved to the mountains with my children and I’m trying to learn how to be self sufficient so my children will know what to do as well. This is a really big help🙏🏼.
Thank you kind sir, I am watching from upper northern California, USA - I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with all of us, no matter our location we should all be prepared to get along on our own and not rely on our governments for survival.
Keep doing the good job! God bless you from Canada!
Thanks, you too!
The instructions are very clear and simple. Nobody will be confused at all. Thanks a lot
A great and simple water filter for an off grid situation. Thank you for your effort.
Glad you like it! 👍🙂
Excellent Robert! Thank you. Please keep making excellent videos because they are very helpful.
Thanks, will do!
Thank you for taking the time to make this great demonstration and explanations video while making this filter. Love the accent, well done. I see that the comment below are constructive and helpful, some of them I never knew? Thanks to all who placed comments that fine tuned this filter. Great video, maybe there will be another one soon, we are not all handy people, and that is why we look at these types of video's 🤓👍👌
Thank, I have a sand point shallow well, also a creek. I will enjoy building a filter for them! Very good subject and design!
Fantastic helpful video
Thank you, Robert. Great video and important information. Keep up the good work.
Robert,
Great video. Very clear and easy to follow. God bless those of you in Ukraine suffering from the attacks from Russia. We're praying for you here in Texas USA.
Than you 👍🙂
Thank you for sharing this Mr. 🙏
I'm in usa and our charcoal is different I believe, but I have a thing to make biochar and I bet I could do that instead! I'm gonna try this weekend! I've been wanting to set one up. Thank you so much for your awesome instruction! This saves so much $
EXCELLENT WORK!
Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information with us!
Great video, exactly what I have been looking for, a single barrel gravity type water filter. Appreciate what you do my friend!
Man you are so awesome for showing us how to make this water filter. Thank you so much and GOD BLESS. 👍 This could save Someone's Life.
Thank you. That’s large scale of the mini ones I made for our tap water. G’day from NSW Australia 💙🇦🇺👍
Great video and very educational. Thanks for the information and the help.
Thank you for that. Great video!
This is great - thank you. Here, in the western United States, we keep on being told that there maybe water problem soon.
Thank you for making and sharing this for those who need it
Excellent video. Easy to construct, easy to understand.
Thanks for good simple instructions, great video
Many thanks...appreciated!
You are so cool. Thank you for helping me with design and showing me what to do for clean water when there is no electricity. From 60 yr old mom and grandma of enough children to keep me busy.
You are a genius!!! Blessings ❤
Great work. Fascinating
Excellent filter, thank you
Ingenious and beautifully explained thank you

Thank you my friend this is good to know and helpful to many people God be with you and your family.
Thank you so much sir.
Great presentation. Thanks
Thank you very much for your water filter gift to everyone watching. I will make one of these for purifying my rain water for drinking purposes .blessings to you friend.
Thank you. Very good information for all of us. You taught us clearly and demonstrated how to build this. The charcoal is biochar-type charcoal which is different. We are living in dangerous times and need this simple technology.
Thank you so much for the education in this video. I can defiantly make one on my own as well. God bless you.
Bravo. Well done.
Great work. Thanks and continue on brother.
Brilliant.

From Australia best filter simple and works well thanks have to make one
Thanks so much for sharing!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for this very interesting and useful sharing.
You are very welcome 👍
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!
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.
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.
Thanks!
Good job buddy!!! Excellent work once again!!!
Thank you Chandra!

Good day
I am from South Africa. I appreciate your video, however I have few questions which I am not sure of, please
1. Must it be near a window and in a cool room
2. Must the barrel always be full of water
3. Once water is clear for use, can i leave the barrel full of water and only run water when i need it
With kind regards
Riana
