My first thought would be to weigh down an empty pot IN the muddy water, but not deep enough for water to reach the top. Water filtering through the walls would wind up inside the jar. I think this would benefit because the water trying to get in provides a certain amount of pressure, helping squeeze the water through. The method demonstrated also means moisture is being lost as it soaks through because the environment is evaporating it away. In any case this is probably not a good way to filter water, but hey, when desperate it's gotta be better than nothing.
A Berkie does not work that fast either. My brothers takes a day to filter i think its 3 gallons. Terricotta is a primative non yuppie Berkie wster filter. If you wat faster then buy disposable filters. But the faster it filters. The less it filters. I haven't used mine yet. Currently im few minutes into both A water filter and a water cooler. Both are the normal pot. You would think being on the Mexico board id be able to find others. Like a occal. But nope. Im using a sink stopper in the hole in the bottom. Linda tricky since you dont want water to drip out the hole. But want water to filter through the terricotta. At this time it seems to be working. But its also hummid today. Got my first rain this year last night June 26. I hope this works. Be nice to filter my bulk water. Filter used water to reuse. ( Baths washer machine ect ect. ) Heck i may even start filtering piss. No really water is that difficult to get. Last year i got no sizable rains. So i got no water captured. Water is something city folk give no though to.
What? You speak of activated charcoal. How did you miss that charcoal filters also make you water dirty. Until they are broken in. Same with the terracotta. The water wasn't discolored due to the mud. It was discolor because the terracotta filter was still breaking in. First you need to sand the inside and outside of the pot. Rinse it. Then you need to fill it up and filter 5 times. Roughly 5 days. You can use the same water for this. This also will tell you how much you lose to evaporation. When you filter gets dirty. Simply sand the inside and rinse it. Just like a Berkie. Btw you need to do the same with a Berkie. The difference is Berkie you sand the filter. And terracotta planter you sand the inside of the pot. Btw if you miss part of the pot. Say around the plug. Don't fret. . It just a small portion and shouldn't make a big difference.
i have a been majorly researching this topic, which is exactly how I came across your video. Im just throwing ya what i’ve learned, the gal seemed to be knowledgeable and loved the process that is merely on her kitchen countertop. the info i have learned haven’t tried yet but i thoughtzs I’d share. This is how understand it -the filtering doesn’t transfer like your expectations have, rather the water sets in and remains in one large version of our friend the T pot, it stays where you placed it. It is important the shape, that matters, and she lets it’s set half the day at least but what is happening is the pollution is pulled through the thick pot and rests on the outside of the pot and the clean water stays in and while it will also be a littles cooler too and this is the most valuable part of this specific process. The clay pots are full of minerals, which are added to the water in replacement of the pollution that was pulled because water, of course is always attracting some thing. It’s magnetic charge is always hungry all the time and the molecules need and the terra-cotta pot minerals are super delicious and healthy so that’s really where the value is here. It is to my understanding that then when you collect water about once a day before you do collect your new days water be sure to clean the outside of the pot yet not with soap. that’s going to be a hard one for me 🤨 i’m about to dive into all this fun but i’m not done researching, and thank you for the content, I was enjoying on topic to my current slight obsession. and to any experts on this topic, who may be reading these comments after watching this video, don’t be shy, help us out here.
The faster water is filtered, the less it's removing. You should use a .4-.5mm pore sized filter that filters @1 litre per hour (3.5 hours for 1 gallon).
The bottom of your terra cotta pot is too thick and has a glassy finish. You could prefilter the muddy water through sand or moss first. Also, big pots would filter faster because of the weight of the water. You can get two big plant pots and for corks into the holes, or use a closed pot on the bottom.
I understand that, but in an actual survival situation if you needed clean water, this method would not work because the dirt still transfers through and the water is not clean. As you saw from my in product, I put fresh clean water in there and it came out dirty. And after two hours, there was only a drop of water and if you’re desperately needing to filter water, you’ll never get enough water to survive off of this method. And then you still would have to run your water through charcoal filters and what you would lose more water due to the activated charcoal, absorbing some of the water until it became saturated . So the method works, but unfortunately, it is not an efficient way in a survival situation
No, unfortunately it does not work. I used the lid a clear cup in the top to try to block any evaporation, but the water took too long the filter through so even if it did work, you would never get clean enough water by the time you dehydrate I only got like a couple drops in a 24 hour and the dirt from the dirty water clogged up the pores so therefore, it did not allow it to filter through
The only way I see this working is if you’ve already filtered out all the dirt and allow your water to settle. But by that point, just either use activated charcoal or a drop of bleach per liter
@@joepalermo3836and the length of time it takes for the water to actually filter... Leave it overnight.. Not 2 hours... lol plus that pot looked like it been in the sun before he tried this.. he had clay wash in his cup.... lol Bad Video this was!!!
@@joepalermo3836I think clay pots might be the only thing that will remove fluoride from city water - obv big pfarma wants to quickly discredit this idea!!
The problem is not the size of it was the fact that the water would not get clear even after filtering through two pots… so ur better running through a charcoal filter
damn. im no a phone peasant. im watching this from a computer full screen tv. or, i should say, i wanted to watch this, but i will not be , because "tall" videos are for peasants. sorry about the downvote : ( good luck out there. you will likely do betterthan i ever will.

Well, thank you for the information. I did not realize that it took so long. I want to try it again but with larger pots and a better environment.

It takes hours to go through

Maybe a lid ,i wouldn't think u want to evaporate. And im sure this method is a slow long process.
No, unfortunately it does not work.

You used the wrong kind of pot and container the filtering pot needs to be set inside the container with just the lip of the pot exposed and covered.
