Water 2: Filtering and Sanitizing Emergency Water
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 มี.ค. 2019
- What are the best ways to filter and sanitize contaminated water if we have to do it long term? Knowing what not to do is as important as knowing what to do! Learn about the best equipment and supplies to have on hand in order to provide clean water for your family from a contaminated source.
Correction:
1/8 tsp (or 1 dash) of pool shock mixed in 1 quart water sanitizes 25 gallons of water.
1/16 tsp (or 1 pinch) of pool shock mixed in 1 pint water sanitizes 12.5 gallons of water.
1/32 tsp (or 1 smidgen) of pool shock mixed with 1 cup water sanitizes 6.25 gallons of water.
Berkey
Clarification: For the Katadyn filter, place the long hose in the water source and pump. Clean water comes out the short hose into your water bottle.

You have the best prepping videos. No clickbait, drama, just great information and instruction.
I have researched water for a few years now, I am a prepper, but I always try to learn more and I do, it's never-ending. I recently found your channel and now it's my #1 source for info. Thank you Pam for giving up your valuable time to teach people everything you know about keeping safe via your survival methods....I share what I learn with friends and family too.
Wow! What a plethora of just invaluable information-no words for how much appreciation I have for your gracious sharing. Blessings
Glad it was helpful!
Ditto!
AMEN
Absolutely
My son owns a pool tech company and supplies us with the pure pool shock tabs that he uses for his clients pools. You are absolutely correct. Thank you for giving this knowledge out. My son says that you are very wise and awesome! 💕😃
Thank you for the very kind comments.
I'm just looking into buying some pool shock. which brand/brands would you buy? thank you.
Absolutely critical! Do not add water to the pool shock. Only sprinkle some of it into a container of water. If you read the bag it tells you right on there that if you add water to this it becomes explosive. This is actually what they used to use in Vietnam to blow up Bridges and stuff is this stuff dry and then they let the water access it and that causes an explosive reaction so be sure to just sprinkle some into your container of water.

I truly feel like I am receiving a college education at every video I watch.
I am so blessed to have found you and Jim.
Much love and gratitude. Be blessed 🙏
There is no words to tell you how much I appreciate you and Jim!
I am so thankful that you are out there to help people survive and thrive. I am an M.D. who spent years learning specific skills for treating cancer patients. You are helping me and my family survive. Thank you.
You are so welcome. It takes a lot of us to do what we can to help others. You certainly do your part.
You are a veritable fount of wisdom. You never fail to impress me with your knowledgeable, calm, frank information. Just can't put a value on what you give us. Thanks!
Wow, thank you
I can't believe how great this video is. I mean, holy moly! I'm definitely saving this and will come back again to take notes. Something inside has really been pulling at me the last few months to get set with water, but there's so many different options it was overwhelming, not to mention most are out of my financial reach. I use an inline rv water filter for everyday use as I'm currently living in a camper, but that won't help me if there's no water pressure. I'm going to get one of those Seychelle bottles for sure, and give careful consideration to your other recommendations.
This is just such a fantastic resource. Thank you so much for explaining it all in a marvelously clear and concise way. Oh I could just hug you! 🤗🤗🤗
Thank you so much. I agree that having a safe source of water is so important! Thanks for sharing.
Why are you living in a camper van?
@@Theineluctable_SOME_CANTDo you have a reason for asking?
@@lisakukla459 curiosity. Also I was homeless living in my car for three months. Just wondered....
@@lisakukla459 well, look after yourself, mate and thanks for sharing your story! 💋
Again - you are a lifesaver. I am confident that I have a solid foundation of knowledge to begin researching to get my family prepared. The *weather* event in Texas really opened my eyes, & that's saying a lot!
Even as prepared as Jim and I are, the events in Texas really shook me as well. We want to do even more now.
@@RoseRedHomestead ❤❤❤
We had Harvey and we also had the freeze where the water was shut off and unclean. I am concerned about water.
This lady is such an excellent teacher! I'm so glad I stumbled on to her videos. She explains everything from the get-go. Especially great for beginners!
Wow, thank you! We are glad you found us as well.
You are a very knowledgeable lady, cheers!!
Thank you so much for this information. I've been trying to replenish my year supply, but water has always been a difficult subject for me. You have made it more clear with your water segments!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
I have a Berkey as well, Pam. It has been a wonderful investment, but I wish I'd bought a larger model. I'm going to buy a portable bottle made by Berkey too. The filters can be expensive, but I feel my water consumption deserves the best options available. Great video.
Great info! Thank you! We use the Alexa pure. It's like the Berk but uses USA made filters, and submits to 3rd party testing. We love it. We purchased a second one just for camping and just use river water
I'm a city-dweller, born and bred, so from the bottom of my heart, "Thank You" for sharing your knowledge!
You are very welcome.
This lady is utterly AMAZING !! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH !!!
Thank you for all the information on water I just found your site and yes I subscribed! 😊 You're the most knowledgeable person I've found so far about getting and being prepared in case of emergency. Living in Fl. I don't let my family or myself leave the house without having water to drink.
Thanks for posting the serious on water, I learn a lot. In Africa they use Moringa plant seed/stems to purify water.
Very interesting...thank you!
Need to research that. I’ve been hearing a lot about planting mornings trees but didn’t know why
I take morninga leaf daily as a tea😀
I have tried to grow morninga w no luck. Thank you for great info
@@bonniebradley429 lightly run the seeds over fine sandpaper, then soak seeds overnight before planting. Surround with a fine screen until grown. Seems that every critter in our area loves it: rabbits, chipmunks, stray cats!!!
Great information! I just used this video for home schooling! Thank you so much!
I love my Berkey! So happy it gets your approval😊
Excellent video. Very informative
Lovely presentation. Thank you for all your research and hard work!!
Thank you for amazing detailed information without the scaremongering others do!

Love your channel!
Great information and so appreciated. I have been meaning to look up the information on the pool shock. I love all of your videos. You are awesome!!!
You are welcome. Be sure to check the correction for the pool shock recipe in the video description. Thanks.

Thank you for this invaluable information!
This whole water series needs to be seen today
Thank you. Our channel is growing slowly but surely. We really want to get the word out on a lot of topics!
That was a wonderfully informative video - We have a pool and buy shock every summer - I had no idea that we could use shock to disinfect drinking water. Thank you so much for sharing what you know with us.
Thank you for sharing all of the information! I really enjoy your videos!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for this information. Water is one of the largest obstacles for my family. We live on the second floor of a three story walkup so if the tap stops we are looking at hauling water from the VERY contaminated Neuse River. I feel much more prepared to do that now.
Thank You So Much. You are the only one that is so informational.❤❤❤
Tina: You are so welcome and thank you for watching our videos. Jim
Thankyou. What a lovely lady
Oct. 2023 Thank you both, for all of the due diligence done, in research, investigation and production of this video. Excellent information. We already have the Seychelle (Rad) and Sawyer filters 😊. Didn't realize the disadvantages associated with the bleach method of sterilization. The pre-filter is another excellent idea!We will be investing in the pool shock... making our water treatment trifecta, terrific. Thank you. Looking forward to your next post.
You are so smart and so sweet. Thanks so much for sharing.
You are so welcome!
Just discovered your channel - HOOKED! Thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge.

Shared again, you're going to save my family with a one-and-a-half-year-old and she's pregnant with this information. God bless you lady!
Thank you.
Amazing information!
Thank u so much I've been worried about saving clean water for emergences then i came across ur video 😁😁👍🏻👍🏻
SO grateful great info! Thank you for your time!
Thank you. I thought I was the only one who would over filter. I would certainly PRE-FILTER any water before putting it into my Berky. My filter will last so much longer.
Really informative and appreciated. Thank you so much! Bless you for doing these videos. 😺👵🥰
Thank you for watching our channel.
A most outstanding and detailed video..... much appreciated
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
This was the most valuable video on water I’ve seen! You covered everything I didn’t know that I NEEDED TO KNOW! I’ve been binging your videos because I am learning so much and you have made things so easy to understand! I wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH! And I’m subscribing to your channel and looking forward to seeing more! P.S. I’ve had those exact measuring spoons for years, who knew I would get to use them!😀
Thanks for response, watching our channel, and subscribing.
You're so welcome! Thank you for your kind words--we really appreciate that.
I recently found your channel and now watch it every day. I learn from you every day. Been prepping for years but had many questions regarding proper way to sanitize water. Boy have you taught me about pressure canning!! Afraid of pressure cookers since I was a child and am now 82. God Bless the two of you.
Welcome aboard! Thank you for watching our channel. Let us know about your canning successes. Jim
Very informative video, will watch again carefully and take notes. Thank you Ms Pam 👍
Hi
I bought several of the Seychell bottles about 14 years ago and they were $50 a piece then. I didn't even know you could still get them anymore. I have never used mine and I wonder if the filter is still okay?
You are so interesting and for some reason I trust you more than anyone else on TH-cam. If you say it, I believe it.
I want you to know that I appreciate everything that you do, what a gift you are.
The LORD bless you and guard you all the days of your life. Until we cross the river Jordan.
Jude, from Kentucky ✝️🐴🐦🌿❣️
Thanks for the info. May God bless you and yours.
Thank you for explaining what product I could use! Another video suggested calcium hypochloride, but I could only find it for swimming pools. Now I know what to get! Bless you for the in-depth info.
It is made for swimming pools as I explain in the video. Here is what I use: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J3JMLSI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Just found these videos, thank you! This past weekend we had heavy amounts of iron in our water and sediment. We were so thankful for our Berkey! Afterwards once the water issue was resolved I cleaned the filters, it was so gross. The Berkey works! We had only used it for taste and smell all the years we had it. Never had to test it with yucky water. I was amazed. Even though I know it will do what it says. Worth every penny!
Thank you so much for sharing this real life event! That is so encouraging to hear. I need to get some extra filters for ours after hearing this.
Thank you. So much to for emergency. I learn so much. I appreciate your information
You are so welcome
Thank you for this valuable information
Thank you, this is great information!

Great video. Thank you so much. So much good info and ideas. I will do some right away.
Thanks for viewing our videos.
Amazing and very informative video! Very well presented!
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for putting so much effort with your special video offering many invaluable information on water filtration and options. You're an amazing Godsend! And I've shared your video with my family and loved ones.❣️ Thanks to my wonderful Mom, my family and I have been using the Seychelles water pitcher for over a decade and it makes our city water taste so much better. It works great! God bless you and your family. 🙏🏻💖🙏🏻
Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your comments--very interesting.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ
Today is the day of Salvation: Why would anyone put off the most important decision they could
ever make in their lives concerning eternal life? If you die today are you going to heaven?
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 - The apostle Paul tells us what the gospel is: "Moreover, brethren, I declare to
you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also
you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you-unless you believed in vain. For I
delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the
Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.
Gospel means "good news." Your debt has been paid, the death penalty has been paid, you are free.
Here's the Gospel of Jesus Christ: That Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and
that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.
Jesus brought in a little child as a living object lesson to show who enters the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 18:3 - Jesus said: "Unless you become like this little child you will not enter the kingdom of
heaven." This is how to be saved, it is simply child like, as simple as ABC:
A - Admit that you are a sinner. This is where that godly sorrow leads to genuine repentance for
sinning against a righteous God and there is a change of heart, we change our mind and God changes
our hearts and regenerates us from the inside out.
Romans 3:10 - As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one."
Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (We are all born sinners which is
why we must be born spiritually in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven).
Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our
Lord. The bad news is that the wages of sin is death, in other words our sin means that we have been
given a death sentence, we have the death penalty hanging over our heads, that's the bad news. But
here's the good news: The good news is that the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ephesians 2:8-9 - For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith -and this not from
yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast.
B - Believe in your heart that Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried, and that God raised
Jesus from the dead. This is trusting with all of your heart that Jesus Christ is who he said he was.
Romans 10:9-10 - That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that
God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are
justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
C - Call upon the name of the Lord. Every single person who ever lived since Adam will bend their
knee and confess with their mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, the Lord of lords and the King of kings.
Romans 14:11 - For it is written: "As I live, says the Lord, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every
tongue shall confess to God."
Don't wait until later - do this now.
Romans 10:13 - For "whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
"O God, I am a sinner. I'm sorry for my sin. I want to turn from my sin. I believe Jesus Christ is Your
Son; I believe that He died on the cross for my sin and that He was buried and You raised Him to life.
I have decided to place my faith in Jesus Christ as my Savior, trusting only in His shed blood as
sufficient to save my soul and to take me to heaven. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for saving me. Amen."
Thank you for all the information you give us. Bless you and yours!
You are so welcome
Thank you again for sharing all your so very useful knowledge
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching.
I so enjoy your presentations! Well researched, practical and a lot of information to keep us out of overwhelm. God Bless
You are very welcome.
Thank you for watching our channel and practicing safe canning.
Looks like you and I went down the same path with our research on getting pure water and at about the same time looking at the time stamp on this video. I also went with Berkey and absolutely love it. I bought the Berkey Crown model because I can do 5 gallons at a time and store it in 5 gallon bottles for rotation. Emergency storage was a added bonus for me. I went with Berkey primarily so I could get rid of the Fluorides that were added by water treatment. So for me it was a win win situation.
Gotta love that Berkey! We are very happy with ours as well. Thanks for your comments.
Thank you, Pam!! This is probably the best information anyone can have! I just checked my pool shock and it was a bust. It said 73% BUT it was sodium, not calcium. So, I just ordered some that meet the requirements you laid out and I might add, it wasn’t very easy to find! It was a bit pricey, as well. Thanks, again!
You are so welcome1. Thanks for sharing your thoughts as well. It is a bit pricey, but the life long shelf life and the fact that it takes so little to make water safe is priceless!
@@RoseRedHomestead In Canada calcium hypochlorite is available at Discounter Pool and Spa warehouse for $7.49 a pound, 12 lbs for $65. Do you know the shelf life of this chemical? I thought to use it to mix up a gallon of bleach solution for laundry and household use as well as for water sanitation. Thank you for your answer and for the life-saving information.
@@karmelicanke thanks for resource
Very helpful. Thanks.
Thank you...fabulous info.
