Hey with the perky filters that I fixed I don't know if I showed them to you
come on pretty good actually pretty good will be the if they stick together and
what I want to do I've already made one filter with one of these perky filters
in there I'm going to show you how I make them I'm making two I have the one
that I've replaced the builders in in my house that's mine I'm going to keep that
I'm making two more to give the neighbors should the need arise I've got
a cop that lives down the road from me he's got good lower three four five kids
I don't know I can never count on when somebody and another young guy single
father got two kids and I give these to them if they didn't have any clean water
to drink so uh I'm going to set this to the side I'm going to show you real
quick how I make my
ladies all you safety sadly don't give me any crap about food grade when you're
desperate for water I think food grade is the last thing on you're going to be
on your mind here's what you Monday one filter one spigot you can get these
on Amazon I actually had a little water container in my house of a cheap in my
refrigerator I just pulled that off of it two buckets
to it a 3/4 inch bit and a 7/16 bit the little nut hope filter on and a drill I
just assumed you in a little bit are going to take the bottom bucket we're
going to install a space what you want to do is move the hole you want the hole
to be up about an inch and a half from the bottom the reason is once is
installed and you go to moving this around and set it down you don't want
this fit to be part of off the table or ground where you're not stamping it off
so come up from the bottom about punch and a half all right what these have is
a two officers the one on outside one on the other side and then thread that nut
on there and all these things that you're going to be doing here you want
to type it up just enough keep it from leaking no more this is just plastic and
they're going to be kind of dulled so when you handle these do you wanna
handle one okay there's that now the next thing you want to do what for 716
billion
you want to grow a 7/16 hole dead center of this later
I'm gonna turn the buttons now turn the bucket over you want to the same thing
drill the 7/16 hole dead center
do that it's got a little I I'm gonna have to do this with another grill just
man once that here right now alright had a piece of plastic in the
middle area that I had to cut off with my razor knife now I can real whole
dance ever okay I'm going to take the lid let me
zoom me out take the lid that you drill the hole through hold it down there take
the filter put it on the inside put that over it
I got fender washer just because I'm a little bit weird about fasteners a
little bad this with this filter that I put on the inside the book it has a
rubber grommet always make sure that's on the inside of the bucket I love the
stem and tighten this up you want to hold the filter at the base not by the
filter body or else it will snap it off from the base this Berkey filters are
incredibly delicate and tighten it up you want to tighten it just to the point
where gonna leave all right that's what we get
you for your water
for your water in the time drain into the bottom chamber and you can either
drink it or you can treat it with some bleach you can boil it I guess it would
all depend on how bad your water is me if the Berkey filters aren't letting any
water pass them I would trust them you know they they make some pretty
incredible claims and all the other filter companies make the same claims
about moving 99.9% of the stuff that will kill you and I'm going to put this
to the test I'm going to get some Bayou water pour it on the top and see what it
looks like it smells like coming out the bottom and I might drink it I'll be back
when I got some water already here's my Bayou water ooh like iced tea
all right I'm gonna bring in shot pour in that filter all right
time will tell oh it's probably it's too late so I'm gonna come out here in the
morning with my cup and we won't tell my wife till after I drank it all right the
next morning and uh let's give it a try the filter the filter is doing pretty
good it's hanging on there pretty good so I'm fairly confident that that's
gonna that's going to stick and what is this smell what what is amazing is this
still smells like by you by you waters got a real distinct odor and you can't
mistake it for anything out it doesn't even smell
like the lake so let me show you what looks like in the bottom this just blows
my mind that a filter can do this and no Bayou smell no smell whatsoever you uh I
you know tap water has a chlorine smell a lake water has a smell Bayou water has
a distinct smell strong smell and for this to not even have any kind of odor
is just blows me away that a little filter can do that so now we put our
money where our mouth is last time I drank that water that I i purify through
the sodus method and it's been what a week now
nothing nothing bad has happened I didn't have any you know any any
emergency bathroom needs which is what would be the most immediate and likely
thing to happen and I have since found out a little bit more about that sodas
method that it's not just the UV light but the temperature that kills pathogens
as well okay here we go look I'm
still water water tastes nothing funky I'm good with that this is a keep you
alive water right here and if you don't see me for a few days you'll know why
I'm pretty confident this method though if a sodas sodus method didn't hurt me
I'm pretty confident this method is even better
LDS prepper did a video where he used a Berkey filter and these filters that I
have in here and he dipped water out of ditches and ponds and pools and he did a
really in-depth experiment using a berkey water filter and he drank his too
this is not so much me doing experiments on different kinds of water this video
in particular is just how to build this and I had those Berkey filters left over
so uh you know I decided to give it give it a try anyway thank you for watching
okay this part of this video serves no purpose but to just show gratuitous dog
footage that's Lucy and she's laying in the bed right is my computer here laying
in bed by my computer there's breezy I always we leave the cage open they
come and go in there and lay down when they feel like it and their sunny this
dog has got a tough life I'll tell you would
