The purpose for this pail is to allow for easy portability and storage. The Complete Water Filter Kit stacks neatly together and fits nicely into this pail with plenty of room to spare. Using the larger bucket to store all of the components helps to keep the emergency water filter, bucket lids and miscellaneous pieces together. Inside the bucket with the gamma lid you might include a wash cloth, a hand tell, dish cloth and some cups to drink with.

When disaster strikes
When there is a disaster the devastated areas always need clean water. Emergency help often arrives late so it's important to have a back up system of your own for survival until supplies can be brought in on a larger scale. Our portable filtration system is extremely simple to use and rather easy to maintain. Anytime we look for something new we want it to be safe and easy to use and that is our goal here. Simplicity and mobility have to be part of our design - that's why we recommend smaller buckets for portable use and larger buckets or containers for group gatherings or stationary use.
The Gravity Feed System
It's a simple two-bucket system, one bucket mounts on top of the other. The buckets or containers are usually plastic and they can be almost any size - two-gallon, five-gallon or ten-gallon. The size really doesn't matter. For easy get away, our family filter fits into a two-gallon bucket. The two buckets stack together with the filter mounted inside and the lids stacked on top of each other. For a larger family or a bigger group, it might be more practical to start with the five-gallon bucket so the water supply is ample for the group.
Assembling the Unit
The assembly begins by drilling a 1/2" hole in the bottom of the top bucket and another 1/2" hole through the lid of the bottom bucket directly in line with one another. The filter with the rubber washer are then centered through the hole in the top bucket, with its stem going through the hole. That 1/2" stem is threaded, so it can be secured with a wing nut. Before the wing nut is installed it's important to take up the space with "o-rings" between the bottom of the top bucket and the lid of the bottom bucket so that if any dirty water leaks down the sides of the top bucket [water settling into the lid between the two buckets] it won't leak into the clean water bucket. First push the stem of the dome filter through the hole made in the top bucket, on the underneath side place the correct number of o-rings over the shaft and then run the shaft through the lid of the bottom bucket and then thread the wing nut onto the shaft and tighten the nut carefully to take up the slack. It will also be necessary to install a 3/4" spigot to the bottom bucket. The hole is drilled deep into the side of the bucket, but not so far down it becomes impossible to get the nut to screw onto the shaft of the spigot. If the hole is drilled too low in the side of the bucket the nut will interfere with the bottom of the bucket making it impossible to install the spigot.
For those who aren't good with details, we provide a complete ready-made pre-drilled kit ready to use in case of emergency. This filter kit includes a protective sock that fits over the filtering element that can be secured with a rubber band or a light weight string. It is particularly good for areas with extremely turbid water that has contaminants such as fish scales and fecal matter. When you put water in the top bucket it passes through the filtering element down through the filter shaft on into the bottom bucket at the rate of approximately 1 gallon per hour. for a small to midsize family we recommend at least two of these filter kits to have on hand for a year's supply.
A Ceramic, Half-micron Water Filter
The micron removes water-borne bacterium. The inside of the filter is loaded with different media or ingredients, such as man-made carbons, mother nature carbons and man-made resins. Those different resins and carbons remove the different contaminants in the water.
The Filter and its Parts Will Last
Once you start using the filter, the activated carbon is only good for 6 to 8 months. The anti-bacterial ceramic wall will work indefinitely. The media inside [such as the activated carbon] will pack over time. The filter needs to be shaken to unpack the media. The shelf life of the unit itself is indefinite. The only question is the carbon. Current figures say the unused carbon should have a shelf life of 2 to 3 years, maybe more. The sock has an indefinite shelf life. Replacement during use will depend on the filthiness of the water source.
