DIY Gravity Fed Creek Water Collection Filter on a Budget

The proper way to collect water from a creek is by using a Coanda box (example linked below), but they are expensive. I'm trying to create the same thing but for $20. It's yet to be determined if it works or not, but I will be installing it later and seeing how it does in a future video.

That’s pretty impressive I hope it works great. Can see how the debris would just pass over the pipe. I’m excited to see you install it and see how it works. Though I was disappointed that you didn’t build a piano. Now that would have been something

Ya I’m pretty proud of this one to be honest. If I don’t get the flow rate I’m expecting I have enough pvc to make two more and install all three in parallel. So I should be able to avoid that hefty $1000 price tag

Great idea..
Since the pipe is not under pressure, I would not have glued it together, just incase you needed to take it apart for easier cleaning in the future. But, it could still be cleaned out while assembled.
I also would have definitely wrapped the pipe in some type of screen like a nylon window screen material. That would help a lot more with keeping debris out of the line.

Ya I was worried that putting a mesh over it would render the louvres pointless and remove its self cleaning ability. I’ll find out over time if I made the right choice. I can always add it later

It's almost like the filter systems that we make for our aquaponic systems

Nice job! And You can use by a well point which is basically the same thing for 30$

I just looked up a well point and that’s quite interesting… it might have worked pretty good! Well if this ever breaks or fails in some other way I’ll have to try one
