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.
Pro tip: use a center punch prior to drilling to properly align your hole and aid drill bit alignment. I use my fancy automatic one every time I drill a hole on metal
Yeah exactly! I think I mumble that I’m proving I don’t need one. Lol.
Goof Off works on all stickers.. Great vid..
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!
Looks like I just found a use for my old home brew pots!
Oh yeah!
Looks like chemtrail sky,,, nice instructions, i want to do this...
Ha. Highly likely!
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.
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.
Nice Erick!!!
Thank you bro!
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
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.
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
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.
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.
Where can I get spigot and filters? Thanks
Hi Tim - links to the spigot and filters we used can be found in the materials list here: diyprimitive.com/diy-water-filter
There’s 2 options for the imusa pot. One is 35 and the other 24 bucks. Which did you use? This is awesome by the way. Going to save 400 semolians.
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.
Promo sm 🌟
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! :)
Dont stop drilling Dont go to fast
Agreed!
