Wisely, we recommend getting a five-gallon pail with a gamma lid to carry everything in. It’s a great storage device for this 7.5” bucket filtration kit. We prefer two 2-gallon buckets because they easily fit inside a 5-gallon pail. Also, a five-gallon bucket provides extra space for drinking cups, hand towels, hand soap, dish soap, and other water-related items. What’s more, as the need arises you can also use the 5-gallon bucket to retrieve, carry, and store unfiltered water.
Nano Gravity, UtraCeram, and NASA-certified water filters are notably the best filters on the market. The flow rate for a Nano Gravity filter is remarkable. It’s important to note even the best filters plug up faster when foreign material and sediment are present. If anyone ever says to you one brand of filters plugs up faster than the other, be careful how you interpret it. What it means is the filter is doing a better job filtering the sediment and it’s not a red flag for a crappy filter, exactly the opposite.
Like any trustworthy filter, a Nano Gravity filter can plug up after a while. Nonetheless, occasional cleaning can extend filter life. To lengthen the life of any filter, such as RapidPure, Waterpure, Nano Gravity Water Filter, or whatever, we recommend doing this after retrieving water from a dirty source; such as a lake, river, spring etc. Fill a bucket or a container with water then let it sit for as long as it takes to settle the sediment, afterwards take the clear water off the top and filter it.
If you are particularly worried about filter life take a piece of fine cloth and wrap it carefully around the filter element. Secure it with a rubber band or a light string. A filter sock or a cotton cloth will filter out larger particles so the filtering element doesn’t do all the work.
It is a great idea to buy an extra filter for a backup.

Assembling a Drip Bucket System using a Nano Gravity Water Filter Kit, Rapid Pure Filter, WaterPure Ultra Light Purifying Water Filter
Assembling a filter in a bucket system begins by drilling a 1/2″ hole in the bottom center of the top bucket and another 1/2″ hole through the lid of the bottom bucket. The holes should be directly in line with one another.
This next step may vary depending on the space that must be filled between the bottom bucket’s lid and the top bucket’s bottom surface. Some buckets have a raised rim under the bottom center of each bucket that will leave a gap for the water to leak through. It may be necessary to use both flat washers between the lid and the bottom of the top bucket to fill the gap so water does not leak into the clean water through the lid of the bottom bucket.
The filter comes with two 1/2″ flat washers. Assuming your bucket isn’t like the one described above put one flat washer on the stem of the filter and carefully poke it through the hole in the top bucket. As you lower the filter gently align the shaft with the lid of the bottom bucket. If the holes are too tight you can take a pocket knife and lightly scrape the hole to ease the assembly. Then install the second 1/2″ flat washer under the lid of the bottom bucket. In other words, the second washer goes on just before the wing nut to provide a seal so water doesn’t accidentally leak through the lid where the shaft comes through the hole.
Once the lid, filter, and wing nut are fitted together, gently tighten the wing nut to prevent contamination or leakage. Be careful not to over-tighten the nut so much that it stresses or cracks the filter stem.
Now let’s do a leak test as follows…take a cup of water and pour a thin layer of water into the top bucket, but be careful not to add so much that it begins to run through the filter element. Also, take a cup and pour a little water into the bottom lid where it attaches to the top bucket. Let the water sit in both places for 20 to 30 minutes and then carefully raise the bucket to inspect for leaks around the wing nut where the shaft goes through the lid. If there is a leak, it needs to be fixed to prevent unfiltered water from entering the clear water bucket where the water is stored. The fix may be as simple as switching the flat washers to a different position as described above.
Now you need a 3/4″ hole for the Spigot. The hole should be drilled deep into the sidewall of the bucket, but not so far down it makes it impossible to screw the nut onto the shaft. The nut fits on the inside near the floor of the bucket. If the hole is drilled too low in the side of the bucket the nut will interfere with the floor of the bucket making it impossible to assemble the Spigot nut. If the holes are too high you won’t be able to get all the water out of the bucket. It is best to place the nut inside the bucket to determine the positioning of the spigot hole.
For anyone who’s not good with details, we provide a complete drip water system kit that’s ready to assemble. Your filter life can be extended if you securely wrap a dishcloth around the filter element. This is particularly good where extremely turbid water and contaminants are noticeable such as fish scales, fecal matter, etc. If you filter dirty water make sure the sediment settles to the bottom before you dip off the top. When you put water in the top bucket it slowly passes through the filtering element and trickles down through the filter shaft into the bottom bucket. If the water flow becomes too slow you may have to rinse the filter or clean the screening cloth.
