@@jonothandoeser For sure, could be a great unit to incorporate into vehicles to be able to self source fresh water sources, straight into the RV's tanks.
Nice job. FYI, when you place the strainer in the water source, make sure you place it inside a plastic cup (or similar) first, and submerge them both. That will allow water to be drawn in through the strainer without any of the sediment or mud from the bottom of the stream. This will stop clogging of both filters and wear on the pump. This is standard practice when pumping water from a dam using a fire or transfer pump, except using a bucket instead of a cup.

Great system mate, I wouldn't be drinking that water with just the filtration you have suggested though,I have seen some pretty nasty stuff in rivers as a fisherman, even in the high country, dead deer , possums, etc, I would recommend boiling the water regardless if you are drinking it. I have a Sawyer portable water filter I use when fishing, 0.1 micron, cheap at $45, and endless drinking water straight from the river, so if you boiled or filtered the water through a product like the Sawyer or Lifestraw, you'd be safe as houses. Just my 2 cents
For sure mate. I think common sense has a lot to do here as well. It would heavily depend on the water source and quality of that water to determine the filtration setup. There are definitely more steps or filtration that could be added, I've chosen this for my needs as I primarily drink from bottled water, where possible. Also, my theory is that 50-100 years, they weren't filtering there water through, UV filters, 0.1 microns and carbon filters and most people were just fine. I understand times and pollutants have changed, but for now this setup works for me. Thanks for sharing, Nathan.
Seaflo make a kit already in a box. Mine cost me a bit under $250 from Road Tech Marine. The pump is a little larger with higher flow rate, and higher current draw. The kit includes the pick up, and an output curly hose with fittings. I changed the input plug to an Anderson plug. As the pump loads up it draws more than 10A, which is all most cigarette lighter sockets are rated to. The pump may be left connected to your water inlet as it will switch off when the system reaches pressure. At that time there is no current draw until you turn on a tap again. I also fitted a quick connect to the inlet hose, so I may extend the pick up and keep my pump kit closer to our camper or van for a little more security. This also could mean you can use a shorter power lead with less voltage drop.
Thanks for the idea. I just built something like this but I used a hard plastic ammo can. Having a portable pump lets me use it for a number of things instead of just mounted inside my trailer.
I'm not very patient but the quality of your speech and information made me pay attention to every detail while being filled with joy, very amazing. I didn't expect that. thanks and keep your excellence
@@XploringOz I used that same bunnings toolbox to make a portable battery box that uses 5 x 4ah 20v drill batteries with a 12V step-down, 150W inverter, USB's, cig socket, anderson to run the campsite away from the 4WD's aux batteries. I'll be using that to power your water filtration unit when I build it. Good job mate.
Thank you for producing a very informative and useful video. I liked the idea of the end product being very compact and all components being stored in the one unit. Well done.
Thanks mate, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I've found this very helpful and the fact that it's able to contain all the components in the one case makes it very convenient. Cheers, Nathan.
Great job. I was thinking of doing this myself the other other day as we prepare our camper for first time use. Only one thing to mention is all the hoses should be drink safe, I know I have drank from many garden hoses on hot summers days at work and still only have one head 🤣👍
Thanks mate! Definitely, there are many different filtration options that can be added to this system outside of the box itself. Can be suited for anyone's individual needs! Cheers, Nathan.
Have just come across your channel for the first time. Great review of your custom build and well done with the presentation (bordering on professional). I will ensure to check out your other content. Cheers and thank you. Cheers from lockdown Victoria ;)
Thanks mate. I appreciate that, it's great to have such encouraging comments coming through. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and hope you like some of the others. Cheers, Nathan.
@@matthewk6731 California dollars makes more sense being that our cost of living is quite a bit more than almost every other state. I get the sarcasm behind it though.
This is an awesome idea! I have a similar set up for collecting my spring water too. The only suggestion I would recommend is to use food grade water hoses where possible. Great video!
Thanx for the video! Took ur idea and ran with it using things around the shed. Pensioners version😀. Old tool box, spare 12v pump, plastic irrigation fittings , and heavy duty hose held on with wire ties. Switch , Anderson plug,fuse etc came out of the spares box. Wish I knew how to send u a photo of the finished setup. Works well. The only actual cost was the caravan filter. U could possibly buy all the fittings I used for about $20 au. Thanks for the top idea, keep up the good work. Cheers, bob
Awesome, thanks for letting me know Bob. Glad the video was able to give you some ideas and glad to hear that you were able to make this work for you! Cheers, Nathan.
Love the idea, I have most of the parts already but did not think of the toolbox mounting, we use a bladder and pump a lot and this will be on my bucket list of modifications. Thanks a lot.👍👍
I would look at investing a uv filter that you can run from a 12v setup, some river systems hold harmful bacteria and a 5 micron will not kill that bacteria, a dual filter will give you a nice taste which i why it does a sediment filtration, also it will also give you the option to be able to get water from a slow running stagnant water source if need be. As a licensed plumber we a required to install a uv filter on rainwater systems due to the harmful bacteria that can form in the water. Other then that bit of info i think this is a very clever way of being able to access water when you need it, i would like to see if there is a way to be able to do the same setup usin a small de-sal plant for the filtration of sea water.
Cheers mate. For sure, a UV filter would be a great addition. I haven't chosen this option at present, mainly due to cost and my personal needs. I try to primarily use bottled water for drinking when out and about, but this will do in the circumstances where I can't access this. I guess each person would have different needs and this could effect the types of filtration selected. Cheers, Nathan.
@@XploringOz definately a great idea, im trying to make something for the trips that only have salt water resources like steep point, dirk hartog or the onlsow/exmouth archipelagos, a small uv filter would be a good investment for the camper compared to the price/weight/space that bottled water can take up.
@@michaelbrown5474 For sure. I definitely be interested to see what you come up with. If your keen, let us know how you go by our Fb or Instagram page. Cheers, Nathan.
Nice and simple. I have adapted Plano Sportsman boxes to fit all my gear (recovery gear, a diesel heater, kitchen, etc) Having one size for everything makes packing easy for me. They are slighter larger than your toolbox but, maybe it would allow me to permanently mount the filters inside? Now you have me thinking!
Love the pump, only thing I would change, is have the hoses be male on one end and female on the other. I do this with all my air hoses. on all my air accessories I have a male end on them. The compressor has a female end on it. Think about your normal everyday garden hose, where one end is female and the other male. Granted the female end on water lines are what the water faucet uses, but with air the female ends serve has terminators. Where if you used male on compressor output then you have to have a on off valve. You would just need to replace one of the male through hole male fittings on the box with a female end. This helps make sure you have the right hose hooked up to the correct connector. Although a couple of labels one marked "IN" and the other "OUT" to help from getting the hoses swapped before you use it. Especially if you lend it out.
Very informative and helpful; saves money, and gas; no need to buy the water. Also it saves on the demand for more plastic bottles which probably wouldn't be recycled. Thank you
No I finally found the description On my iPad. I DID have to watch a couple of other TH-cam’s to find out how to reveal this which is hidden by default. Love your work! When will you be doing some more videos?
Great to hear, glad you enjoyed this video. Yes, the links should still be all up to date. Let us know if you have any issues and good luck with your build. I try and release videos every couple of weeks on various topics. Cheers, Nathan.
Nice work, love the idea. A shifter is sufficient to push the plastic collar in to release the pipe from the fittings. Also there is a number of thread sealants which set and are semi permanent that would be a preference myself.
Dude that was awesome, did not even consider something like this, you nailed it! Thanks Again! I have heard about using a dehumidifier as a grab water from the air source. I Wonder if that is accomplishable. Thanks Again.
Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it. To be honest, not something I've thought about, then again, its only really humid in the top end of Australia, we are mostly very dry... Cheers, Nathan.
Building something similar but we will be using 3 inline 10" x 2.5" filters going from fist filter 1 micron Silver carbon 2nd filter is a 0.5 micron silver carbon filter the last is a 0.2 micron ceramic carbon filter. Nothing worse than having the trots on a camping trip. Glad i watched your video as the last bit i was missing is in you links. (12mm barb suction strainer) Bloody great mate. Thumbs up
Cheers mate. Yeah, I had a lot of feedback regarding the filtration options that are available and I guess this would come down to where and when you are camping. I'm glad this could help you with your project and all the best with it. Cheers, Nathan.
Great video! You could also have the filters permanently attached to the caravan before it goes into the tanks And have a extra filter on the drinking water side at the tap...
Nice video. Great project. Survivalists say a fresh water stream purifies itself in 3.25 km. They take care to mention that they can't be sure what gets into that stream 1 km or half a km upstream. Giardia is no fun. There's filters available that filter Giardia out of fresh water streams or even out of cow tracks.
For sure, this isn't the perfect setup, but it's definitely a good way to transport water around camp, particularly for filling up caravan's and RV tanks. Cheers, Nathan.
Great idea and well put together. I have only just found this channel and you are easy to listen to unlike others on other channels. Thanks for the idea.
Great Video ! Read that a disaster rescue team would bring a water filter box like this for ther safe drinking water. Also they could supply the local population with clean water until there water system is repaired ! tjl
I was just in the process of designing a setup for our off grid caravanning adventures when I came upon your video. An excellent presentation and I will now use your design to build my own. Thanks :)
Great set up! Such a variation on price. A single inline filter runs at 36CAD which is roughly forty bucks for you. Literally half price 🇨🇦 vs 🇦🇺. So, there's one thing we're not getting gouged on. Haha. Cheers!
For water tightness... add something around wherever you drilled small holes maybe even the in/out.... what if you were caught in a storm & needed water.... Just thinking..... There's Is perfect wax, drip/melt plastic, hot glue, super glue mixed w/ baking soda, etc..... I don't know much about Australian climate..... but just incase, right.... If I were out in the bush most of the time I would just drink right out of the water.... depends on location and the water itself.... like a mountain stream VS a pond..... plus you've got to fill up yer jerrys as quick as possible... ya might as well filter it since you're using a pump..... Again, Appreciate the innovative & inspiring project..... Can't wait to do it..... Think I'll subscribe..... Later & Thx These things I mention are only suggestions as if I were to do it..... and I will do it......
Great job on a solid setup. If you want to disinfect the water take a look at The Thirsty Nomad 5 in 1 filter - it is like adding UV to your system without the need for lamps and power etc. Would still recommend a pre-filter (say 1 - 5 um sediment filter) to remove most particulates - will extend life of 5:1.
Thanks mate, I'll definitely check that out. Being able to filter without the hassle of power and large setups is definitely a great advantage. Cheers, Nathan.
I worked in wastewater treatment for 20 years and you just took a drink out of that is that filter rated to potable water you know cuz you're taking it right out of a stream just because you run it through a filter doesn't mean that it's taking giardia out of there. I think you need to clarify the types of fillers you're using to make sure it's potable after coming through their filter
For sure, I appreciate that you probably have a lot more knowledge on filtration options and systems than I do. I think the benefit from a unit like this is that you can fit any filter to the unit, separated from the pump box. I might do another video down the track going into a little more details regarding water filtration and the ability to source fresh drinking water from unknown sources.
I use a campervan to travel and I think this will extend my stay in some areas to a month! I have a refrigerator but hike and camp with hiking meals. Between those two and water, water has been the limiting factor. Using a bag filter for water has it's limits, at least to my patience. Thank you for the video
Thanks mate! Glad you have managed to get some value from this video! All the best with your build and all of your adventures in the USA! Hopefully I'll have the chance to tour around there someday. Cheers, Nathan.
Great system but only as basic sediment/chemical system water still requires chemical/boiling additional treatment. I think I'd run 1)prefilter on intake, 2) stringfilter 3) carbonfilter 4) ceramic filter, 5) posible ultraviolet treatment canister.(optional). Key is ceramic for bacterial removal. Always used ceramic/activated charcoal in berkley - best tasting water. I have 90% parts, you got me thinking now, Thanks. Ps..pack filter spares.
Thanks for sharing. For sure, filtration is a personal thing and everyone will have their own opinion on this matter. I guess any filtration can be added to this system externally. Thanks, Nathan.
For the twin canister filter, why not just get two hose end clip fittings and on the hose side use a small length sealed off so when you clip them on to the filter, they seal it off preventing any drips.
Instead of small bolts and screws.... use rivits.... They will not ever work there way loose...... Only suggesting... I like this water filter idea..... Excellent!!
Well thought and a great production .. HOWEVER , around the 10 minute mark you show that you use Teflon tape on the threads .. Please refrain from this bad habit as the sealing edge is actually the tapered part of the fitting and the threaded body is to firmly pull the taper into the mating cone . Fact is the tape adds circumference and unneeded Lubrication to the body threads and in Fact can lead to failed threads or split fitment . Frankly , if the seal leaks , the water will pass by the top of the fitting .. not by the threads . A final 2 cents ; the PRIMARY filter has a tiny surface area and Will plug up first . The threads on the clear housing are most vulnerable to cross threading especially if the fine stainless steel filter element is not firmly seated first . Haha , ask me how I know these failure points . Thanks again ! Good travels !
Thanks mate, appreciate the tips. Perhaps you can confirm something for me though. You mention that the threads are tapered, which is definitely the case with NPT fittings, however it was my understanding that this in not the case with BSP fittings. Any idea on this? Cheers, Nathan.
Great vid' Nathan. Really liked the presentation and tradesmanship of the build. You could easily sell that unit as a business. Nice work and now subscribed.
Thanks mate, appreciate those comments! I hope to have some more videos like this, where simple home built ideas can assist camping and touring. Thanks for subscribing and I hope you like the future content to come. Cheers, Nathan.
I save a seaflow wash down pump, in the box job. Its 12 volt, i run a 30 foot extension hose if need be up the bank as i camp on the murray river a lot. Its powered by anderson plug from my landcruiser ( similar to the way you have ). I went through this cost wise and for the extra bullshit involved making this my self, a seaflow was a better or comparable choice price wise and its already in a box.. This pump is used for a few things, the main thing was to top up the caravans tanks... this water is not used for drinking, i use separate water for that. Before any one moans about dirt and bacteria... the water goes through similar filters you have ( this removes any grit/dirt in the water so i dont fuck the pumps diaphragm in the caravan, but it wont remove the tannins )... as for bacteria, theres chemical tablets i use that mix in the tanks so i dont get any trees or what not growing in the tanks. The water from the river is used for toilet, shower and dishes. Other uses the seaflow is used for, for me, is filling the hot water bucket thats near the fire for out side showers, out side dishes, cold spray when its hot and you need a cool off, and washing shit down thats covered in dust etc. Its also extremely handy when leaving a camp and putting the camp fire out for good. I purchased my seaflow 2 years ago at a 4x4 show in melbourne for $229, and the filters cost me $11 dollars each.
Thanks for sharing mate. I reckon I'll get some good use out of this pump over time too! I like the idea of adding chemical tablets to caravan tanks when filling from a fresh water source. It will definitely keep any mould or bacterial from growing, especially when the van is in storage. Cheers, Nathan.
Bloody marvelous. Quite well thought out and executed, and you could use an AGM or Lithium battery recharged by your solar panel. One could even use a slightly larger box and put the battery inside with a recharge plug to recharge it. This would make your rig a bit heavier but totally portable.
Thanks mate. Definitely, I'm actually working on another idea that may be able to use a compact battery pack to power this unit. Still doing some testing and R&D first... Cheers, Nathan.
@@XploringOz ....with the price of the lithium-iron cells coming down and their size/weight/recharge cycle benefit over any style lead/acid battery....it should be fairly easy to incorporate one into your design. I LOVE these kinds of DIY projects and the overland/off-grid/camping thing growing the way it is, you may be able to become a supplier for people who want this kind of thing as a kit or as assembled. I am considering attempting a very small unit the size of a standard flashlight for personal use, using an 18650 battery....but the small pump is the hard part....lol Best luck to you, mate....cheers :)
@@ssnerd583 For sure, the technology is always improving and incorporating a battery into this unit is something I'll definitely look into for version 2.0. Cheers and all the best for your build, let me know how you go with a more compact unit.
This was great. My only suggestion if you do another, is put say female on the input and male on the output, so it's impossible to connect it up the wrong way.
I love this pump! The only thing I would change is I would add a Anderson connector with 2 alligator clips to hook to a 12 volt battery if you used it away from a vehicle.
Thanks mate, I'll keep this in mind for a version 2.0. Although it would be very easy to buy/make an adaptor to suit this. Further, I'm also trying to come up with an idea that will run the unit from a small battery pack, making it completely isolated from a vehicle.
Very informative and outstanding video. Good job Wizard. For some reason though, I felt like getting a quote for some GEICO insurance while I was watching. lol Thank you!
@@XploringOz You're welcome. After I made the comment, I wondered if you'd understand the reference to "GEICO". I don't know whether that insurance is offered there in your country so you might not know about that GEICO lizard. lol Regarding water; I was taught in my military survival training that regardless of your filtration, you can not remove toxins from water even by boiling or filtering. Chemicals that have been dumped into a creek or pond or whatever can be undetectable and when you roll up on what appears to be an excellent water source, you have to be careful. No doubt you know this. Be safe out there and always practice good situational awareness. Best of luck . . .
Love the content ❤ Noticed a trend from content creators. Not as bad in this video but most videos I have seen recently spend 4-8 minutes talking about what they are going to be talking about. Wish there were video titles that described the subject matter, so creators could skip the redundancy 🤔🤔

Thank you for producing a very informative and useful video. I liked the idea of the end product being very compact and all components being stored in the one unit. Well done.
Thanks mate, I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
I've found this very helpful and the fact that it's able to contain all the components in the one case makes it very convenient.
Cheers, Nathan.
Great job. I was thinking of doing this myself the other other day as we prepare our camper for first time use. Only one thing to mention is all the hoses should be drink safe, I know I have drank from many garden hoses on hot summers days at work and still only have one head 🤣👍
Thanks mate! Definitely, there are many different filtration options that can be added to this system outside of the box itself. Can be suited for anyone's individual needs!
Cheers, Nathan.
Have just come across your channel for the first time. Great review of your custom build and well done with the presentation (bordering on professional). I will ensure to check out your other content. Cheers and thank you. Cheers from lockdown Victoria ;)
Thanks mate. I appreciate that, it's great to have such encouraging comments coming through. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and hope you like some of the others.
Cheers, Nathan.
Love that comment 😂
If you don’t see anymore videos, you know why.
Haha, glad to say I'm still hanging around!
Cheers mate.
@@fishfacecrab Definitely as clean as I need it.
Cheers.
Absolutely brilliant.. I'm going to build one for my rig... I'll let you know what it cost in California dollars
Awesome! Glad this could give you some ideas. Definitely let us know how you go with your build.
Cheers, Nathan.
Great!
Please also let us know how much that would be in United States dollars.
@GoTerry how about an update mate ?
@@matthewk6731 California dollars makes more sense being that our cost of living is quite a bit more than almost every other state. I get the sarcasm behind it though.
It's update time Tezza!
This is an awesome idea! I have a similar set up for collecting my spring water too. The only suggestion I would recommend is to use food grade water hoses where possible. Great video!
For sure! Better safe than sorry. Thanks for watching, Nathan.
Excellent design, construction and testing. Bloody good work!
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it!
Cheers, Nathan.
Just love this straight forward, economical approach to clean camp water. Going to start buying & assembling shortly. Thank you for a great Vid !
Good to hear, I'm glad you enjoyed this video. All the best with your build.
Cheers, Nathan.
Such a great idea especially using the same pump that we have in the van. Well detailer and tested outcomes...Well done !!
Thanks mate, I appreciate that.
Appreciate this video, seems simple enough to be a good addition to the camp kit. Well put together, thank you.
Thanks Peter, glad you enjoyed the video. Appreciate the feedback.
Cheers, Nathan.
Thanx for the video! Took ur idea and ran with it using things around the shed. Pensioners version😀. Old tool box, spare 12v pump, plastic irrigation fittings , and heavy duty hose held on with wire ties. Switch , Anderson plug,fuse etc came out of the spares box. Wish I knew how to send u a photo of the finished setup. Works well. The only actual cost was the caravan filter. U could possibly buy all the fittings I used for about $20 au. Thanks for the top idea, keep up the good work. Cheers, bob
Awesome, thanks for letting me know Bob. Glad the video was able to give you some ideas and glad to hear that you were able to make this work for you!
Cheers, Nathan.
Love the idea, I have most of the parts already but did not think of the toolbox mounting, we use a bladder and pump a lot and this will be on my bucket list of modifications. Thanks a lot.👍👍
I would look at investing a uv filter that you can run from a 12v setup, some river systems hold harmful bacteria and a 5 micron will not kill that bacteria, a dual filter will give you a nice taste which i why it does a sediment filtration, also it will also give you the option to be able to get water from a slow running stagnant water source if need be. As a licensed plumber we a required to install a uv filter on rainwater systems due to the harmful bacteria that can form in the water.
Other then that bit of info i think this is a very clever way of being able to access water when you need it, i would like to see if there is a way to be able to do the same setup usin a small de-sal plant for the filtration of sea water.
Cheers mate. For sure, a UV filter would be a great addition. I haven't chosen this option at present, mainly due to cost and my personal needs. I try to primarily use bottled water for drinking when out and about, but this will do in the circumstances where I can't access this.
I guess each person would have different needs and this could effect the types of filtration selected.
Cheers, Nathan.
@@XploringOz definately a great idea, im trying to make something for the trips that only have salt water resources like steep point, dirk hartog or the onlsow/exmouth archipelagos, a small uv filter would be a good investment for the camper compared to the price/weight/space that bottled water can take up.
@@michaelbrown5474 For sure. I definitely be interested to see what you come up with. If your keen, let us know how you go by our Fb or Instagram page. Cheers, Nathan.
If worse comes to worse, you can filter as demonstrated then boil a bucket of filtered water. Make it safe to drink.
I for real thought and hoped that was a dehumidifier and you were getting water from literally the air. Still pretty cool...
I made a similar but a slightly bigger tin tool box. I put a radiator drain valve in the bottom of my canister filters to drain them after use
Nice! I like the idea of the drain ports. Great for storage.
Cheers, Nathan.
If you use a lithium jump start battery, you won't need the power cable. Excellent device. Thanks for sharing.
For sure, this is a great idea. I've been looking at some other options that I might add into a version 2.0.
Cheers, Nathan.
Nice and simple. I have adapted Plano Sportsman boxes to fit all my gear (recovery gear, a diesel heater, kitchen, etc) Having one size for everything makes packing easy for me. They are slighter larger than your toolbox but, maybe it would allow me to permanently mount the filters inside? Now you have me thinking!
What a great video and idea. Surely this will inspire somebody to make their own. Love ya work 👍🍻
Thanks mate. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Hopefully it does inspire others.
Cheers, Nathan.
I'm glad I found this. Great idea and gives you some flexibility to add or change they setup to fit your needs.
Cheers mate, glad you were able to get some ideas from this.
Cheers, Nathan.
A must have for camping, thank you for the idea and video from Florida, USA camper.
Awesome, thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Cheers, Nathan.
Love the pump, only thing I would change, is have the hoses be male on one end and female on the other. I do this with all my air hoses. on all my air accessories I have a male end on them. The compressor has a female end on it. Think about your normal everyday garden hose, where one end is female and the other male. Granted the female end on water lines are what the water faucet uses, but with air the female ends serve has terminators. Where if you used male on compressor output then you have to have a on off valve. You would just need to replace one of the male through hole male fittings on the box with a female end. This helps make sure you have the right hose hooked up to the correct connector. Although a couple of labels one marked "IN" and the other "OUT" to help from getting the hoses swapped before you use it. Especially if you lend it out.
For sure, thanks for the tips mate. Definitely things I will consider for a version 2.0.
Cheers, Nathan.
Nice work. Thanks for the parts list too!
Your welcome. Cheers mate.
Very informative and helpful; saves money, and gas; no need to buy the water. Also it saves on the demand for more plastic bottles which probably wouldn't be recycled.
Thank you
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. Sure does save money and having to carry the rubbish back out with you again.
Cheers, Nathan.
No I finally found the description On my iPad. I DID have to watch a couple of other TH-cam’s to find out how to reveal this which is hidden by default. Love your work! When will you be doing some more videos?
Great to hear, glad you enjoyed this video. Yes, the links should still be all up to date. Let us know if you have any issues and good luck with your build.
I try and release videos every couple of weeks on various topics.
Cheers, Nathan.
Nice work, love the idea. A shifter is sufficient to push the plastic collar in to release the pipe from the fittings. Also there is a number of thread sealants which set and are semi permanent that would be a preference myself.
Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it. For sure, there are plenty of options for me to consider for version 2.0.
Cheers, Nathan.
Dude that was awesome, did not even consider something like this, you nailed it! Thanks Again! I have heard about using a dehumidifier as a grab water from the air source. I Wonder if that is accomplishable. Thanks Again.
Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it. To be honest, not something I've thought about, then again, its only really humid in the top end of Australia, we are mostly very dry...
Cheers, Nathan.
Building something similar but we will be using 3 inline 10" x 2.5" filters going from fist filter 1 micron Silver carbon 2nd filter is a 0.5 micron silver carbon filter the last is a 0.2 micron ceramic carbon filter. Nothing worse than having the trots on a camping trip. Glad i watched your video as the last bit i was missing is in you links. (12mm barb suction strainer) Bloody great mate. Thumbs up
Cheers mate. Yeah, I had a lot of feedback regarding the filtration options that are available and I guess this would come down to where and when you are camping.
I'm glad this could help you with your project and all the best with it.
Cheers, Nathan.
Brilliant! And very clever the way you put it all together…
Thanks mate, appreciate it and glad you enjoyed it.
Cheers, Nathan.
Outstanding!
Mate, you should be selling these at camping and caravan shows. Great solution…well done!
👍
Thanks mate, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Cheers, Nathan.
Great video, I' do something similar although not as portable, however I also use a 12v UV water purifier.
For sure, thats the good things about this unit. You can choose whichever water filter is required for your needs and water source.
Cheers, Nathan.
Great video! You could also have the filters permanently attached to the caravan before it goes into the tanks And have a extra filter on the drinking water side at the tap...
Thanks mate. For sure, this is another great option. Not something I have personally done to my van at present.
Nice video. Great project.
Survivalists say a fresh water stream purifies itself in 3.25 km. They take care to mention that they can't be sure what gets into that stream 1 km or half a km upstream. Giardia is no fun. There's filters available that filter Giardia out of fresh water streams or even out of cow tracks.
For sure, this isn't the perfect setup, but it's definitely a good way to transport water around camp, particularly for filling up caravan's and RV tanks.
Cheers, Nathan.
Good stuff. You should think about adding UVC lamp sanitiser. Bacteria can flow through those filters like nothing.
Great idea and well put together. I have only just found this channel and you are easy to listen to unlike others on other channels. Thanks for the idea.
Thanks mate 👍 appreciate that feedback, it’s always encouraging. Welcome to the channel, I hope you enjoy the content. Cheers, Nathan.
Great Video ! Read that a disaster rescue team would bring a water filter box like this for ther safe drinking water. Also they could supply the local population with clean water until there water system is repaired ! tjl
I was just in the process of designing a setup for our off grid caravanning adventures when I came upon your video. An excellent presentation and I will now use your design to build my own.
Thanks :)
Awesome, great to hear. All the best with your build.
Cheers, Nathan.
what a beauty,, great work Matee,,,make one when I off to Frazer Island.
Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it! Good luck with your build!
Cheers, Nathan.
Bloody awesome. Just what I’m looking for. Well done mate. Now I just have to find the time to do it......
Thanks mate! Appreciate that, all the best with your project.
Cheers, Nathan.
Great set up!
Such a variation on price. A single inline filter runs at 36CAD which is roughly forty bucks for you. Literally half price 🇨🇦 vs 🇦🇺. So, there's one thing we're not getting gouged on. Haha.
Cheers!
What an awesome idea mate would be the perfect solution for my portable hot water system might have to make one myself thanks for another great video
Cheers mate, glad it has given you some ideas. Good luck with your build.
Cheers, Nathan.
Extremely cool design! Thanks for your video and the inspiration 😎
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it.
Good luck with your build.
Cheers, Nathan.
Thanks for the video. Nice to see an Australian video with products available in Australia. Nice setup. Have a nice day.
For water tightness... add something around wherever you drilled small holes maybe even the in/out.... what if you were caught in a storm & needed water....
Just thinking.....
There's Is perfect wax, drip/melt plastic, hot glue, super glue mixed w/ baking soda, etc.....
I don't know much about Australian climate..... but just incase, right....
If I were out in the bush most of the time I would just drink right out of the water.... depends on location and the water itself.... like a mountain stream VS a pond..... plus you've got to fill up yer jerrys as quick as possible... ya might as well filter it since you're using a pump.....
Again, Appreciate the innovative & inspiring project..... Can't wait to do it.....
Think I'll subscribe.....
Later & Thx
These things I mention are only suggestions as if I were to do it..... and I will do it......
Again, appreciate the feedback. Definitely taking into consideration for a version 2.0.
Great job on a solid setup. If you want to disinfect the water take a look at The Thirsty Nomad 5 in 1 filter - it is like adding UV to your system without the need for lamps and power etc. Would still recommend a pre-filter (say 1 - 5 um sediment filter) to remove most particulates - will extend life of 5:1.
Thanks mate, I'll definitely check that out. Being able to filter without the hassle of power and large setups is definitely a great advantage. Cheers, Nathan.
I worked in wastewater treatment for 20 years and you just took a drink out of that is that filter rated to potable water you know cuz you're taking it right out of a stream just because you run it through a filter doesn't mean that it's taking giardia out of there. I think you need to clarify the types of fillers you're using to make sure it's potable after coming through their filter
For sure, I appreciate that you probably have a lot more knowledge on filtration options and systems than I do. I think the benefit from a unit like this is that you can fit any filter to the unit, separated from the pump box.
I might do another video down the track going into a little more details regarding water filtration and the ability to source fresh drinking water from unknown sources.
Really great job! THIS is something I'm doing now! Everywhere we go has water! Many mountain springs as well!
Awesome, glad to hear this helped give you some ideas. All the best with your build and your adventures.
Cheers, Nathan.
I use a campervan to travel and I think this will extend my stay in some areas to a month! I have a refrigerator but hike and camp with hiking meals. Between those two and water, water has been the limiting factor. Using a bag filter for water has it's limits, at least to my patience. Thank you for the video
Thanks mate, I'm glad to hear this have given you an idea to help you increase those stays away.
Cheers, Nathan.
Very cool, functional item. I bet it's worth its weight in gold in an emergency!
For sure, definitely a handy little box to have stored away.
Greetings from Minnesota USA. What a well thought out design. I will be building one for our pop up.
Well done, thank you.
Thanks mate! Glad you have managed to get some value from this video!
All the best with your build and all of your adventures in the USA! Hopefully I'll have the chance to tour around there someday.
Cheers, Nathan.
@@XploringOz I hope you do. Best wishes and thanks again for the great idea.
Great system but only as basic sediment/chemical system water still requires chemical/boiling additional treatment. I think I'd run 1)prefilter on intake, 2) stringfilter 3) carbonfilter 4) ceramic filter, 5) posible ultraviolet treatment canister.(optional). Key is ceramic for bacterial removal. Always used ceramic/activated charcoal in berkley - best tasting water. I have 90% parts, you got me thinking now, Thanks. Ps..pack filter spares.
Thanks for sharing. For sure, filtration is a personal thing and everyone will have their own opinion on this matter. I guess any filtration can be added to this system externally.
Thanks, Nathan.
I have now made two of these. With slight variations. A mini 125psi 0.75l accumulator tank by sureflow
Awesome 👍 Good idea with the variation too
@@XploringOz so one variation was in a pelican case with a 40AH lifepo4 battery
@@abecoulter8550 That's a great idea. Something I was initially looking to do. Maybe its time for a revamp 🤔
@@XploringOz a little 12V led light on the front to find your way if need be
For the twin canister filter, why not just get two hose end clip fittings and on the hose side use a small length sealed off so when you clip them on to the filter, they seal it off preventing any drips.
Sure, this is definitely an option.
Thank you XploringOz for such a useful sound video this is so helpful for people like myself who don't have a clue about water filtration.
No problems mate, glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks, Nathan.
Instead of small bolts and screws.... use rivits.... They will not ever work there way loose...... Only suggesting...
I like this water filter idea.....
Excellent!!
Another great idea. Thanks mate!
Well thought and a great production .. HOWEVER , around the 10 minute mark you show that you use Teflon tape on the threads .. Please refrain from this bad habit as the sealing edge is actually the tapered part of the fitting and the threaded body is to firmly pull the taper into the mating cone . Fact is the tape adds circumference and unneeded Lubrication to the body threads and in Fact can lead to failed threads or split fitment . Frankly , if the seal leaks , the water will pass by the top of the fitting .. not by the threads .
A final 2 cents ; the PRIMARY filter has a tiny surface area and Will plug up first . The threads on the clear housing are most vulnerable to cross threading especially if the fine stainless steel filter element is not firmly seated first .
Haha , ask me how I know these failure points . Thanks again !
Good travels !
Thanks mate, appreciate the tips. Perhaps you can confirm something for me though. You mention that the threads are tapered, which is definitely the case with NPT fittings, however it was my understanding that this in not the case with BSP fittings. Any idea on this?
Cheers, Nathan.
Great vid' Nathan. Really liked the presentation and tradesmanship of the build. You could easily sell that unit as a business. Nice work and now subscribed.
Thanks mate, appreciate those comments!
I hope to have some more videos like this, where simple home built ideas can assist camping and touring.
Thanks for subscribing and I hope you like the future content to come.
Cheers, Nathan.
Great idea and workmanship..
Thanks mate, has come in very handy 👍
You are a genius, gonna have a go at this this weekend.
Haha, cheers mate. Hope the build went well 👍
I save a seaflow wash down pump, in the box job. Its 12 volt, i run a 30 foot extension hose if need be up the bank as i camp on the murray river a lot. Its powered by anderson plug from my landcruiser ( similar to the way you have ). I went through this cost wise and for the extra bullshit involved making this my self, a seaflow was a better or comparable choice price wise and its already in a box.. This pump is used for a few things, the main thing was to top up the caravans tanks... this water is not used for drinking, i use separate water for that. Before any one moans about dirt and bacteria... the water goes through similar filters you have ( this removes any grit/dirt in the water so i dont fuck the pumps diaphragm in the caravan, but it wont remove the tannins )... as for bacteria, theres chemical tablets i use that mix in the tanks so i dont get any trees or what not growing in the tanks. The water from the river is used for toilet, shower and dishes. Other uses the seaflow is used for, for me, is filling the hot water bucket thats near the fire for out side showers, out side dishes, cold spray when its hot and you need a cool off, and washing shit down thats covered in dust etc. Its also extremely handy when leaving a camp and putting the camp fire out for good. I purchased my seaflow 2 years ago at a 4x4 show in melbourne for $229, and the filters cost me $11 dollars each.
Thanks for sharing mate. I reckon I'll get some good use out of this pump over time too!
I like the idea of adding chemical tablets to caravan tanks when filling from a fresh water source. It will definitely keep any mould or bacterial from growing, especially when the van is in storage.
Cheers, Nathan.
@@XploringOz yah its handy to keep in mind for sure.
Bloody marvelous. Quite well thought out and executed, and you could use an AGM or Lithium battery recharged by your solar panel. One could even use a slightly larger box and put the battery inside with a recharge plug to recharge it. This would make your rig a bit heavier but totally portable.
Thanks mate. Definitely, I'm actually working on another idea that may be able to use a compact battery pack to power this unit. Still doing some testing and R&D first...
Cheers, Nathan.
@@XploringOz ....with the price of the lithium-iron cells coming down and their size/weight/recharge cycle benefit over any style lead/acid battery....it should be fairly easy to incorporate one into your design.
I LOVE these kinds of DIY projects and the overland/off-grid/camping thing growing the way it is, you may be able to become a supplier for people who want this kind of thing as a kit or as assembled.
I am considering attempting a very small unit the size of a standard flashlight for personal use, using an 18650 battery....but the small pump is the hard part....lol
Best luck to you, mate....cheers :)
@@ssnerd583 For sure, the technology is always improving and incorporating a battery into this unit is something I'll definitely look into for version 2.0.
Cheers and all the best for your build, let me know how you go with a more compact unit.
This was great. My only suggestion if you do another, is put say female on the input and male on the output, so it's impossible to connect it up the wrong way.
Fur sure, definitely something to consider for version 2.0.
I love this pump! The only thing I would change is I would add a Anderson connector with 2 alligator clips to hook to a 12 volt battery if you used it away from a vehicle.
Thanks mate, I'll keep this in mind for a version 2.0. Although it would be very easy to buy/make an adaptor to suit this. Further, I'm also trying to come up with an idea that will run the unit from a small battery pack, making it completely isolated from a vehicle.
@@XploringOz Have you tried a Jackery Portable Power Station? It can be recharged on solar power
@@karolynjones683 Hi, this is not something that I have tried just yet. Maybe down the track. Cheers, Nathan.
Very informative and outstanding video. Good job Wizard. For some reason though, I felt like getting a quote for some GEICO insurance while I was watching. lol Thank you!
Haha, thanks mate. Appreciate the feedback 👍 😆
@@XploringOz You're welcome. After I made the comment, I wondered if you'd understand the reference to "GEICO". I don't know whether that insurance is offered there in your country so you might not know about that GEICO lizard. lol Regarding water; I was taught in my military survival training that regardless of your filtration, you can not remove toxins from water even by boiling or filtering. Chemicals that have been dumped into a creek or pond or whatever can be undetectable and when you roll up on what appears to be an excellent water source, you have to be careful. No doubt you know this. Be safe out there and always practice good situational awareness. Best of luck . . .
Love the content ❤ Noticed a trend from content creators. Not as bad in this video but most videos I have seen recently spend 4-8 minutes talking about what they are going to be talking about. Wish there were video titles that described the subject matter, so creators could skip the redundancy 🤔🤔
Cheers mate. I hear you, I try and keep the content concise and to the point, however everyone is different. Some viewers like the context and opinion mixed in with the data and facts. It’s all a compromise in the end.
Cheers, Nathan.
SOLDERING IRON IS GOOD FOR CUTTING ( PUNCHING ) THOSE HOLES IN PLASTIC WITH PRECISION WITHOUT DRILLING.

Great detailed upload, quite timely as looking for projects to do whilst in isolation in Victoria, will be adapting your setup to suit my 50 litre mounted water tank in the tub of our vehicle....... The last 2 item shortcuts for "Inline water filter and Twin canister Filter" take you to hose clamps.
Thanks mate. I'm having some problems with the link generator at the moment. As soon as I get it sorted I will.
Cheers, Nathan.
Hey mate, links should be sorted now 👍 let me know if you have issues. Cheers, Nathan.
Thinking of doing something similar, but probably going to go ro.
Definitely a handy thing to have if you plan on going off-grid near a suitable water source.
good one mate!
Thanks mate!
Dude! this is incredible and I will be working on this project very soon. I wanna make sure that I have a back up system no matter where I am. Thanks so much for this; you really enriched my life today. 🙌🏼
Thanks mate, I'm really glad you enjoyed it and it could help you with your project.
Good luck with your build and let us know how you go.

Really cool and useful project!
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the video!
Cheers, Nathan.
Personally I would want a bigger pump pushing it through those filters. That pump really sounds like it's working hard on that double filter
this is amazingly great to me thank you so much ive been wanting something like this!!
Awesome, so glad to hear you enjoyed it. Hopefully it gave you some ideas.
Cheers, Nathan.
I like this device, it is very useful in wild camping.
Cheers mate, hopefully it can give you some ideas for your camping.
Joolca Nomad kit. It's a complete kit with shower and water heater. No arts and crafts necessary, and costs less.
Also with a pump system you can now easily run a gas water heater for steaming showers.
Great solution. Thanks for sharing.
Your welcome, thanks Nathan 👍
Awesome setup & even a numpty like me could build this! 😉
I love the idea of using the same pump as fitted in my Journey Outback so to have a spare.
Cheers mate, appreciate the feedback. I'm sure you will enjoy the build process and the final product! 👍
Brilliant. Thank you. Building it.
Thanks mate 🙏
Bravo man! Brilliant. Another task maybe make it into more compact 3d printed the box
For sure, this would be a great idea, would be able to get the box exactly the right size for the equipment within.
Cheers, Nathan.
