Bummer that the website is down - no links available
This is dumb.
Was going to sub but you are gone. Hoping and praying all is well.
Thank You!!!
Thanx Hanx! Just what I was looking for. Well done!
Did you do a followup on this with any changes you would make. How is the back holding up? Please leave a link if so.
The back is holding up great.
Does the back have something to cover the Styrofoam? To protect it from weather?
In the instructions, you have the option to add a sheet of PVC. But the styrofoam is unaffected by weather as it has a foil layer and it's not in the sun.
Very nice job. I'm going to do something like this, but could you tell me what do you do with the hot air during summer? Basically construction is for heating home at wintertime, but at spring and especially summer you have excess heat, are you using it for something or just vent it outside? if, yes so you need any extra valve for releasing excess air.
This video series is fabulous. *Just a stray thought about the narration🤔You could find work in the X-rated movie industry😅your voice and sentence structure along with your desire to explain everything perfectly and technically 😳 all right so that was a funny thing. I don’t mean anything negative by it your narration is great Thank you very much for the video series.🙏🏼❤️🔥🇺🇸
Not sure why you didn't just flip the dull blade around? Cool idea but, I might want to find something a little more food safe. I am allergic to latex rubber (bike tire). It's nice that the seal will also help keep the top container in place. You have me thinking!
I have heard that you use those thick washers when flushing the filter. Thread it on the filter output, turn upside down and hold it against your kitchen faucet spout (or the garden hose spigot). Let it run for about 30 seconds or until the loose carbon stops coming out. Flush once more, then install into your pot. The washer basically seals against the outside of the filter outlet and the edge of the hose spigot. Others the water just runs all over.
I am wondering why your air intake (cooler air) is at the top, a short distance from the exhaust fan, rather than at the bottom of the panel? How do you understand the air movement within the panel? The construction of the panel is great.
The air intake IS at the bottom. :)
So you don't use a fan at all?
Yes you can however, it's not necessary in all circumstances.
@@Eric-b8i9c Thank You
Use the clear spigot to show you how much water is inside
He mentioned that did use one with the glass front with ball.
Gravity Filters Gravity / Ceramic cartridge filters are designed to remove certain pathogens from perfectly clear water such a mountain stream. If there is any silt in the water they will plug up and not allow water to flow through. You can scrub the cartridge, but soon you will reduce the thickness of the media and then it will not remove all of the pathogens. YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST PRE-FILTER THE WATER UNTIL IT IS PERFECTLY CLEAR. This can be done by a combination of settling, flocculation, sand filtering, and/or common cartridge type sediment filters that are easily available. If you don't believe this, take out all but one of your ceramic cartridges, plug the other holes, add some dirty water like what you will have to use during a crisis, see how much water you can run through it before it plugs up your ceramic cartridge. You will ruin one cartridge but you will know the truth! Another issue: if there is water in a ceramic cartridge, even a little, and that cartridge is allowed to freeze, a fine crack can occur that will allow pathogens through. You may not know it as you cannot see the crack. NEVER ALLOW YOU CARTRIDGES TO FREEZE!
The link for the materials list does not work. Could you please respond with the list. Thank you.
I found some on Amazon.
Fine
I know him❤
OK. If you’re mentioning sediment, then your filtration system is not working that well. It’s just that simple. Pass.
Of all the tutorials for building a solar air heater, this is the most thorough. Thank you.
I'm a woman in my senior. How much would u charge for a pre-made?
they sell those step bits s at harbor freight for 5 bucks
I wouldn't have bothered with the lower lid the pots should stack.
They would be tippy :)
ATTENTION WD-40 WILL REMOVE THAT STICKER WITH NO PROBLEM😮🎉 YOU'RE WELCOME😊 and anything that duct tape was on any kind of sticky residue and it won't scratch the surface you don't have to scrub you might have to wash afterwards😊
Great job!!
I need one or two 😮 😮 thanks 👀
Dude id buy one of these. I dont have the drills and what not. How much would you sell one if so? Ill buy my own filters ofcourse.
DM me at diyprimitive@gmail.com
Does it ever overfill? Thank you
It can if you over fill it. I simply add 3 gallons at a time and I never overfill it. The spigot level indicator lets me know how much is in the bottom reservoir so when it’s all the way down, you can add 4 gallons and never worry about.
Would you consider making them for your followers who are not handy and don’t have any tools
I could. However with shipping and handling, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be cost effective. Consider that this project only requires one to drill holes, so maybe a friend could help you.
Goof Off works on all stickers.. Great vid..
Looks like chemtrail sky,,, nice instructions, i want to do this...
Ha. Highly likely!
Wonderfully explained. Thank you. You do need to prime the filters before first use. I screw them in upside down, and run water through it twice then reverse them back to filter position.
Thanks! I use this thing daily. Drill 21 holes and that’s about all that it takes to put these together.
Did I miss the type of filter used?
Good video with a surprise for me! You took out the original aluminium (ribbits)( my English is not that good) for stainless steel bolts..that is something I never saw before but you are wright about that. So many thanks. Hope more people will realise that with a dumbs up for this video.
Yep, those aluminum rivets eventually corrode. Stainless is the answer. Thanks for your comment and I hope you make one!
That drill screaming for some oil while drilling.
Yeah, but I was going for a minimalist approach and even avoided pilot holes just to show it can be done in a worst case scenario. I also didn't want to have to clean up oil. ha. Thanks a lot for your view and comment! :)
Where to get the spacer washers for lid? And, what size vinyl tubing. Thanks, great video!
Thank you! I have all the parts I used along with Amazon links here. diyprimitive.com/diy-water-filter. EZ-FLO 1/4 Inch ID (3/8 Inch OD) PVC Clear Vinyl Tubing, 10 Foot Length, 98617
@@DIYPrimitiveI cannot get the parts list link to work. It keeps taking me to a landing page only.
I was wondering what type of black carbon filters did you use on this project? I not sure if they would fit because of the height of the filter.
Here's the link. You can use any filter you like, just make sure your holes are drilled to the right diameter. amzn.to/4anHSIe
Looks like I just found a use for my old home brew pots!
Oh yeah!
That's a drill not a hammer if you want to lighting up your bits just grab end of chuck and twist don't squeeze trigger want slip
Everything is a hammer! lol. I almost always do the squeeze too.
How did you check to make sure no water was leaking from the holes you drilled for the filters ? I didn't see a gasket.
These filters come with a gasket.
Where is the electrical part of the installation?
The only electrical part I can think of is the water level indicator that you can buy. Otherwise, it's all just gravity fed. Super simple.
Do you make if I would by one with the ceramic filter? Price?
I don't make them, but all the parts and materials links are listed here... diyprimitive.com/diy-water-filter. All you need to do is drill around 21 holes. You can do it!
Love the video. Are any of the filters interchangeable with the Alexa Pure or Berkey system. The cost of those filters is so out of budget. God bless you.
Any filter can be substituted by drilling the appropriately-sized holes.
Do you have any idea of the BTUs it produces? Thanks
I do not. What I do know is that it produces heated air at the point of leaving the unit at over 240 degrees F.
I dig the concept. IMHO a few diagrams would make the construction easier to follow than repeatedly using terms like “short side top back” etc. I’m not trying to be overly critical. I appreciate the tips in building the project but sometimes I find too many details can be more confusing than a simple explanation of a concept along with the general construction and materials used. That said, it’s a great idea. Thanks for posting your project.
Hey I appreciate ya! And yes, I thought about the terms I used in my explanations and "short side and top back" etc. were used to not confuse. I also try to teach to my verbal learners as well as my visual learners by providing both. Thanks for you comments. I hope you build yours soon!
@@DIYPrimitive I’m not ready to build one yet…I’m still living in Florida. I’m gathering ideas for when I move to the high desert. Hoping to take advantage of as much passive solar as possible. In addition to other heat sources, I’m thinking a device like this one could be used to move hot air and circulate it through some kind of thermal mass under my bed. Charge the mass in the daytime and let it radiate to keep me toasty at night. So many years of Florida weather has turned me into a hot-house flower. I’m looking forward to getting out of the hot, humid swamp and into the mountains. I just need to mitigate the shock until I can build a tolerance to cold weather. I think my cat would appreciate a nice warm bed every night too.
You didn't have to paint the collector, some studies have shown that dark green is just as efficient absorbing solar energy as black.
Thank you, I actually mention this in the book and that one can also purchase black panels, but one may need to special order. Agreed, green would likely do the job.
Could I use old barn tin that I already have instead of purchasing new metal roofing?
You could I suppose. As long as you can keep it straight and not sag. You may need to add some additional supports inside the plenum (air chamber). I want to see it when it's done!
Get better audio gear.
Noted and already done! Thanks!
excellent instructional/tips/follow!! Thank you ! subed!
Thanks for the complements and for the sub!
Excellently demonstrated 🖒 I thought its rocket science. But it's so simple. Even more simple than making a tree house or a pets house.
Glad you liked it! Yeah, keep it simple!
I really enjoyed your reverse engineering/explanation way of presenting the project. Understanding the whole helps one follow as you cover the details.
Glad it was helpful! Keep me posted on your project!
