The charcoal filter should be installed AFTER the softener. If you put it before the softener it will remove the chlorine and bacteria can form.
SOMETHING YOU NEED TO MENTION = After you've been filtering water for a period of time, the filter elements of your system will be filling up with captured radioactive materials. The filter elements are now dangerous and need to be handled with care, stored away from you and your family, etc.
Yep that is a fair point. The amount in them will be quite small and shouldn’t be a problem unless you are sleeping near them or something. But if it was kept in a garage or shed or something it would be good to go. Then just bury it when they start to get clogged.
All the more important to have a disposable Pre-filter that catches the larger particles.
@@century2298 Like a bucket or barrel filled with sand, charcoal and gravel. I'd use that as a pre-filter, before I run it through my primary filtration system.
My understanding is the life of the radioactive particle is short lived.
@NexusOfclYT thankyou for the info. Apreciated.
I think you are giving more credit to our world leaders than they deserve. I personally think globally we are closer to a nuclear Armageddon today than any other time in humankind's history
Agreed
Do either of you remember the 1980s? Or the Cuban missile crisis? Both of those were WAY worse than anything today, imo. Bet you in 10 years things are pretty much the same in the US, and China/Russia will be struggling with their own huge internal problems and in decline.
Russia has cried nuke a zillion times, and they only do it because it looks “strong” at home, and to try to scare Western voters to vote out anyone who doesn’t give in to their threats….so they can make more and more threats. It is all bluff.
Certainly that is the point I make on my channel, though Reality's nuclear survival advice is the real deal.
And you're a fool for it
I appreciate this series you're doing on fallout. Very helpful, useful information. Thank you!
You are welcome. I am glad it is useful!
Especially now! 7 months later and we're facing possible nuclear exposure in this world. Love this video!
Thank you for clarifying the distillation and for info on the RO! ❤️
My husband and I are in our 60s with legal custody of grandchildren since they were babies. We live off grid for 37 years, and most of what we eat comes from our farm. I do have about 7 grand of freeze dried food put away also. I have 2 large greenhouses, and wish to know how to protect the food growing in there. Oh! Love your dogs, adorable! We have 5 ourselves who are rotten. lol Thanks for reading this and your great info. Southern Mingo county West Virginia home of Hatfields and McCoys
Good on the greenhouse should be fine as long as the vents are closed.
I moved to WV from the northeast about 4 years ago. I used to vacation here as a boy. I love this part of the country in general and West Virginia in particular. I’ve never met better people anywhere. Thank you for being independent and prepared. God bless you and your family.
thanks for the great info! i did not know about radioactive gasses dissolved in water. you mentioned a gallon of water a day for drinking/consumption, which is a good estimate to start with. what i have learned by trail and error to see if that is possible for me, is that i needed about 2.6 gallons a day for drinking, cooking and brushing my teeth. i came to this figure by practicing living on just minimum amount that i could. what i have been storing for food needs water, foods like rice and mountain house meals. cooking needs are something to think about. and coffee/tea. i am a caffeine addict. i hope others will try for themselves to see how much they will need based off their plans and what they have stored for food.what i need to do next is figure out how much i need for showers, washing clothes, washing dishes, using the bathroom, and general cleaning. i am estimating about 50 gallons a day.
If you think you'll need 50 gallons a day, that means you'll need 4,500 gallons for just three months. Sure hope you have property and a great well.
Your dog is so cute. I love the grumbling noises😂 Great video and helpful comments below. We bought water barrels to collect the rain water (900litres) which are now full and sealed but we now need to disconnect from the guttering in case there is fallout as it would introduce it into the barrels - my husband had no sense of urgency 😅
i thought of another idea. At the first sigm of trouble you could start your washing mashine and stop it before it hits the drain cycle. mine is in my basement.
Clever idea!
Activated charcoal is so useful for alot of things
I feel like this is going to be pretty useful here soon
This was a question I had. Helpful and excellent video. Thank you.
Also hemp plants will extract radioactive elements from the soil. So you can recondition your soil for growing food.
Sunflowers are the best
@@SgtRudySmith31bRet Yes I was going to say the same. They have been planted across Japan and have been shown to absorb radioactive materials.
I've heard apple pectin is used to help remove cesium and strontium. Not sure about iodine and others.
That is correct in the body. They are talking about from the soil.
@@RealitySurvival Good point, I was unclear.
Fantastic video .I spent a long time studying this subject and your research is spot on .I will say that filtering out the radioisotopes to the level required to render the water safe will also filter out the electrolytes .Hyponatremia is a real and deadly possibility.People need to make sure to add electrolytes back in .
.( Reality ,I saw your comment earlier but couldn’t respond to it so I am reposting .Your correct The spell check did get me I meant fantastic not fantasy , no insult intended quiet the opposite this was the best video I have seen on this subject anywhere to date .You will have saved a lot of lives if nuke war comes and people use the information you provided)
THANK YOU FOR THE HELP IN THIS CRAZINESS AROUND US!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!! 🙂
absolutely a gem of a youtube video so much useful information
Appreciate it!
Thank you so very much. I listened again and again, taking notes.
Great video, from what I could hear. Where I live it is noisy and will watch it again later. Thank you
Good video, wonder how long after filtering water with fallout, etc would the filters become a source of background radiation themselves? I'm thinking we'd need extra filters than the usual gallon amounts for removing say regular sediments and other non radioactive items? Thanks
They would eventually have enough to be a concern but as long as they are not stored anywhere close to where you spend a bunch of time it is not likely to cause too much of a concern. But they should be disposed of in a manner like burying them so as not to be an issue.
All the more important to have a disposable Pre-filter that catches the larger particles.
@HRH Prince Eugen of Sweden Fact !
I hate that you beat me to it but that’s OK. Even though I already have a Berkey I think I’m going to order a few Alexa pure filters as well. Can’t hurt to have enough water filtration.
They should all work in each other’s containers.
Great Information! Thanks
Don't forget uv light - excellent step to include!
Hey JJ, Thanks for giving us the most researched information out there ( remindeding us to do our own ) about potential fallout. I have looked since the day you posted this video for at at home radiation test for our water after we filter it. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP US FIND ONE THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE SENDING WATER SAMPLES TO A LAB ( in a grid down situation ) Thanks.
I think a quality Geiger counter would be the best option.
@RealitySurvival Good idea. I'm a member of a volunteer group CERT ( community emergency response team ) We to help local LEO and first Responders in disasters and emerging situations. We have a training called REVC ( Radiological emergency response Corp ) We are trained to assist in shelters and gathering radiation levels after a radiological event. CERT was established in 2017 as a result of the earthquakes Mexico, when it determined that if the community was better prepared they could have survived longer until medical help got to them and save many lives. Every state in the US has CERT mostly larger couties ( just because the word of mouth hasn't gotten out enough yet ) I'd be glad to get some information to ya and let ya check it out. WE'RE THE BOOTS ON THE GROUND UNTILL THE LEO and FIRE DEPT. and EMS and THE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES GET TO DISASTERS.
Yeah CERT is great. I’m pretty familiar with it. I have recommended people get involved with it for quite a while. Make sure to use an actual Geiger counter for checking food and water contamination. As a radiological survey meter that you might use in CERT would not be sensitive enough to pick up trace amounts.
Thank you JJ.
Thanks for making videos like these, it's stuff we should all know just to know
Except for tritium, you cannot filter that. Nor can you detect it though it might give you cancer in a few years, so if you are old, no big deal.
Yep
Clay soil? Would that be the same as mud? Would you be able to clarify that a bit more, sir? Thanks so much.
Well clay can be mud if it is wet. But it is a particular type of soil. Many people recognize it for its use in making pottery.
@@RealitySurvival Thank you.
If you can't find the water softener resin beads, I am thinking a package of polystyrene beads, the static clingy little beads that are used to stuff toys and sometimes to pack around electronic parts (at least they were back in early days of computing). You can find them online as well as in craft stores. The mechanics or physics of it may well provide similar if not the same purpose when applied as a filtration medium. ???
Hmmm. Not sure about that.
I keep thinking in minus 30 in middle of winter not being able to go out to get wood for my woodstove or turn on my furnace.
That could be a problem for sure.
Get some duraflame logs inside for backup
As a diabetic I personally need at minimum a gallon of water a day to drink alone, otherwise sugar can build in my kidneys. So my plan is to save 5 gallons of water per person in my household. I have a 660 gallon rain catchment system that I will be able to cap.
You Know why i'm here. Good info.
Super awesome information thanks Brother
The reason why river estuaries are so muddy is due to a process called 'flocculation'.
Negatively charged clay particles suspended in the river water meet positively charged ions in the sea water (calcium, magnesium etc). This cause the clay particles to react, clump together and settle out as estuarine silt and mud.
What has this got to do with nuclear fallout?
Well Strontium and Caesium (typical radionuclides associated with fallout) are positively charged, so filtering water through a clay filter should remove the main fallout components.
Excellent explanation! Thanks!
@@RealitySurvival hi thanks for your like.
Flocculation is a great word, see if you can slip it in to your conversation today....10 points to gryfyndor😀
You got to stack all that on top of each other it's a purifying teller and you might want to also look up iodine 2% and oregano oil 25% they say it's good for your dogs too
Thanks!!!
Good video thanks for the info
Thanks.
Put some clay in the water and stir it up. Let clay settle and use water above clay. Radioactive material is absorbed by clay.
Unfortunately it is not that simple.
lots of good info. thnks. lets hope we won't need to apply this.
Amen!
Now its at least 90 % chance minimum of nuclear war.
Actually I think its going to happen all be it limited in scope.
How times change eh !
This information is very relevant to this day.
Absolutely great video. Thanks.
Great info…Thanks!
You bet!
5 stage rodi water filtration system, you can't live on that forever it strips out vital minerals from the water. Maybe vitamins would help idk
The Chance is Like 99% .... Now in October!!! Be ready for Anything
No way. Not even close.
First radioactive materials will fall out “settle “and collect in the silt and depending on weight.
So drawing water off the top will provide good results at lean water. Info is from Dr Bruce Clayton book life after doomsda.
great video
12,000 bce a big comet hit the alaska,can. area n reset everything(the flood).almost every one died.but not all of them...just imagine.
The Younger Dryus.
There's millions of gallons under the blast sites. Use it there.
I have only been watching for a few months and have been curious about the opening statement. Can anyone explain this to me please? I've never seen anyone else do this. Is it because he's currently employed by the government?
Yes.
@@RealitySurvival ty
THKS
Great info. First time Ive seen seen you. Just subscribed. Question....would magnets work for removing the charged particles?
Thanks. Hmmm. That is a good question. To be honest I don’t know. Possibly. Especially if they were ferrous pieces of fallout. But I’m not sure.
I wonder if those beads are whats in those bottles that make your water alkaline.
If so I got mine from DYLN
What book are you reading from? Can you add a link to find this book?
Dis-United Nations by Peter Ziehan.
@@RealitySurvival No, not that book, I was asking about the book you were reading from to filter the radioactive fallout from water.
Oh. All of the links to that information is in the description of the video.
If 50 gallon sealed drums are stored outside and exposed to radiation, will the water become contaminated?
The water inside would not be. But the exterior of the barrel would be. So you would need to make sure you carefully decontaminate the exterior of the barrel before getting water out of it.
Thanks for the quick response. That what I assumed but no one has been able to confirm it.
@1quiensabe you bet. It is well documented. As long as it is sealed food and water is fine.
Gotta love those Lead pipes in times like these, eh? (Lead depending on thickness is impervious to radiation )
Wat
Dont drink or cook with hot water from the heater ,,its for utility and bath..
Activated carbon is burn a hardwood 25% calcium chloride which is the same salt that you use for snow I believe Cici 2 not the kind of salt for water softener not table salt you got to mix it with water make a paste and you bake it at 2:50
Whats your percentage calculation now on probability of nuclear attack two years later?
50% in Europe. Prolly 25% here in the US
I appreciate your response and you post. I do find them interesting. Would love to see an in home lock down preparation type video with the necessities needed. Maybe something along the line of how you would handle the event of an attack. Thank you again
What about in winter when everything is frozen. I just ordered two 5gal Scepter water containers and I received four by mistake, no problem, emailed sender. Then I wondered how am I going to get the water out of them in the middle of a Canadian winter when it goes down to -30 celsius if there's no electricity. Even all these filters would freeze instantly. I think I should do what some Canadians do as a safety precaution and that is go to Florida during the winter.
The easiest way to think about is the dog crap analogy.
Contamination, in this case the fallout, is the crap. The radiation it gives off is the stink.
The biggest problem is stepping in or handling it, because it spreads just like tracking dog crap through the house.
Most modern nukes are made of materials that can be metabolized, so if it is ingested you'll take the rads while it's in your system but it will pass through. It won't stay in your system and continue to emit. Just take your iodine supplements to keep saturated.
I'm only moderately concerned about fallout from modern nuclear weapons. Ten years in that field.
Just know that distilled water will not meet your hydration and mineral needs for very long. Do not use distilled water more than a few weeks.
Sorry but that is not true at all. If you eat a proper diet which most all Americans do eat sufficiently then you can drink distilled (pure water) indefinitely.
Does the radiation seep down into an underground well? Could we drink our well water straight out of the well if we had a hand pump?
It’s unlikely. And yes.
If a lake is frozen, will the ice layer protect the water underneath from radiation exposure?
It would keep the alpha and beta radiation from getting into the water. But I certainly would not assume that the water is safe to use or drink personally.
@@RealitySurvival Thanks for your quick reply. Yes, the assumption is that I would still have to treat the water against the usual pathogens/contaminants. I was just specifically asking about radiation penetrating inches of ice.
@naomisalsera826 yeah I just wouldn’t take the chance personally. If it was frozen over by a couple feet maybe. But you could still get infiltration through the edges and ground water runoff and such.
I bought a water container that’s one of those big white plastic square boxes with the metal frame. (Forget what they are called)
It’s stored outside and is covered with a tarp. Will that water be okay if I filter through my Alexa pure? Thank you 🙏🏼
Yep it should be. Just to make sure you prolly should also put a little bleach in the IBC tote to keep it clean in there. ;$
So a Berkey water filter (carbon) in conjunction with a zero water filter(positive ion filter)?
I’m not super familiar with the zero water filter but if it has an ion exchange mechanism it should help. The. Problem with those smaller filter elements though is that they probably will not last very long at all. So you would want to make sure you have several replacement cartridges if that is the route you chose.
@@RealitySurvival yea, they (ZW) also use activated charcoal. I agree about the usage limits, considering each filter is only good for 20 gallon (!). Anyways, thanks for putting this info out there for everyone. 🤙🏼
@@JeffBrauss I save my old (ZW) filters and dry them out, for emergencies just like this.
What about steam distillation?
It’s going to be best to filter it as described first. But after that distilling couldn’t hurt.
What if you use a Berkey Filter then distill the water
Not really a good course of action because the radionuclides would gather in the beerkey cartridge elements. You really need to run through a clay filter outside first. Then do additional stages of filtering or distilling.
Does Berkey have a filter that will filter out the radioactive stuff
Not sure. You can check their test results. I’m sure they have them on their website somewhere.
Recipe for activated carbon or activated charcoal you burn some hardwood 2
Can a Waterbob be used in a large (4x6’) shower with a curb? It could lay flat and be filled from a hand held head hose?
Is there a method to purify urine and turn it back into sterile drinking water?
Yes. But it is not something that you can do at home unless you distill it.
You could use a solar still that is a survival tool to convert sea water into drinkable water. A regular still would work or rig up some way to collect condensation from boiling off urine some other basic way.
You can lay on your back and pee straight up with your mouth open.
How long would rain water contain fallout?
Too many variables to be able to say for sure. All depends on location from blast, type of detonation, yield of device. Etc. You would just have to monitor government transmissions to hear what their testing was showing probably.
How long's a piece of string?
One of the variables for that would be how you are collecting the rainwater. Smooth steel / tin roof, asphalt shingle roof, open barrel, surface lake, etc...
How do you feel about that 5% chance of nuclear war happening? Is it still 5% or much higher chance now?
Slightly higher but not much.
Clay water filter
Tiny House and Off grid Resources
serious question would you recommend the Berkey range of water filters/purifiers?
i note from independant lab results that they remove as near as 100% of heavy metals inc Strontium and Caesium but im not sure about dissolved gases?
I think they are good as a part of a system. But I would always run through a clay pre filter first if you think that the water is contaminated with fallout.
Hi! quick question, can you use the contaminated water to grow plants instead of drinking it?
Only if you want contaminated food.
boil it if your not sure
Boiling it does not remove radioactive fallout.
What about a storage unit for shelter if ur homeless and have storage
It depends if the storage unit has the characteristics described in the video. Most of them here in the US are not usually matching those characteristics.
I know this is an older video but wondered if anyone knows if a private water source is safe to drink that is collected initially underground and then is transported to an above ground steel holding tank which then delivers it to our home via a thick polyurethane pipe both above ground and underneath a running stream. Thank you.
If the water is never exposed to air it should be good but you may want to filter after any rains just to be safe.
@@RealitySurvival Thank you so much for your swift reply.
Geiger counter will pick up water vapor
is there a way to detect if the water has changed to "heavy water" that can't be filtered away?
I’m sure there is. But I am not aware of a technique that could be done by civilians with standard household stuff.
i thought your dog scratching is a sign of fallout
Can't remove the tritium.
That is true. And this process may not get everything. But it is the best way to make water as safe as it can be. The option of just not drinking will 100% lead to death. But very small levels of radiological contamination is VERY survivable.
@@RealitySurvival agreed. Honestly i didn't even watch the whole video. Nowadays 99% of any video pertaining to radioactivity are b.s propaganda. Being as you were honest in your response i will watch it fully.
@@RealitySurvival , true to my word i watched it fully. Very informative and honest content. Thank you it can definitely help anyone in such a situation greatly deminish their exposure.
Thanks! Appreciate the feedback!
@@RealitySurvival if you are injesting potassium iodide, a little radioactivity left in your water shouldn't hurt you.
We will survive! But, would we want to survive? That is the question!
Of course we would. Why wouldn’t we? It wouldn’t be nearly as bad as fear mongers try to make it sound.
I have a spring that comes out of a bank and falls into a creek and another that comes out of the ground into a creek. Would these be safe to drink?
Not if fallout got into it.
Directly from the ground spring would be my choice..it hasn't been open to the air like the one that pools into the creek
Sun flowers 🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️
How do you feel about zero water filters?
They are good at removing total dissolved solids. But I have not seen any testing to show that they will make water safe from water borne pathogens. They may. But I have not seen any test results showing that.
In the last 24 hours my meter has been tripped, reading 001.21 usv/h
when the bomb falls i think that my last priority is that "my armpits pong a bit"
No Bombs are falling.
@@RealitySurvival Not yet. I was 11 during the Cuban Missile Crisis. You should have seen the look on my family’s faces after President Kennedy's address. I'll never forget that. We had no prep, so I figured we were all dead given our proximity to Seattle. In those days, the throw weight was significant. In my opinion the current situation is worse. Adolf Putin is a straight-up psychopath. He is also a high-functioning parinod schizophrenic. In case you're wondering, I've been following Adolf Putin for 20 years. He has changed for the worse and does not seem well. And, yes, I am clinically trained in psychology. Thus, I would put the threat of nuclear war at 20%.
How would the uv rays work without power???
Well if you are prepping right you should have alternative methods for generating power.
Do the water purification straws take out the radiation?
No.
What are your thoughts on the percentage of an emp nuke? Also, what's the most effective height of a regular nuke and how far is the blast radius?
It’s getting higher the longer we are involved in Ukraine for sure. I’d guess about 10% right now. The optimal height is about 350Km I believe. That would extended the affected area almost shore to shore. But would easily overlap all 4 grids and collapse them all.
@@RealitySurvival is there a way to avoid the 3 emp stages underground and how far would you have to be to do so?
@@RealitySurvival Also, if they detonated a nuke 350km above the surface, what type of damage would there be beside fall out? Would the heat and force from the explosion destroy anything or is it just for the emp and fall out purpose would you say?
I have heard that if you are 6 to 8 feet under the ground it will not effect you.
None. Also no fallout.
I have 3 ponds stocked with fish would the water and fish be contaminated what can I do to protect the water and fish? the ponds freeze over in winter would that help any?
If the area gets fallout then yes.
Put big aquariums in a bunker, or lots of deep freezers that run off geo thermal energy. Otherwise the fallout will still be waiting on the ice for spring. Think of fallout like really fine dust.
If the fallout is locked away in ice, much of the dangerous fallout has short half life. It's possible that the ice could protect the fish.
The most dangerous fallout has a short half life. Minutes to hours for most gamma and beta radiation... distance from blast is of consideration. Time and distance is your friend..
If water is hit by radiation you better hope it’s standard hydrogen and hasn’t formed an unstable isotope like not tritium or deuterium.
When I think about , why would the spirit of a aborted fetus simply disappear.
Will you get to the point
You do know that you comment makes you look like a 12 year old with a 4 min attention span right?
we have a well would the water be safe? my tap water I filter
Most likely yes.
Now just got to figure out how to connect well pump to generator in case power is gone and my propane is out to run everything.
The best way is to distill the water
I live in an apartment so I guess I just die
Only if you choose to. Watch the whole nuclear survival skills playlist. If you do you will know what it takes to survive. Even if you live in an apartment.
what percentage are you on now? it has to be greater than 5% for a nuclear war now.
Prolly in the 10% area give it take.
But still most likely that if it happened it would be likely in Europe not here in the US.
