good morning we're gonna do a short video in response to buck run Elevens
November prepper challenge and the challenge is to make something for your
homestead or for preparedness or self-sufficiency and I've been gathering
parts for awhile to make something that I've had in my my head bouncing around
which is a that's a whole lot of bouncing a big space big empty cavern
this is a RV water filter well it says right there RV water filter and I
believe it's 15 bucks at Walmart but you can buy two this you can buy two of them
on Amazon for geez I can't remember it was like 25 bucks for two filters maybe
not even that much this filter comes it's like a kit you know this screws
into here actually screws in here there is definitely a direction to water flows
so but I'm not gonna be using this right now what I'm going to be using is this
so what I'm gonna make is a pre cleaner for my berkey water filter those filters
are very expensive and the dirtier the water is that you put in the less time
you get out of your filters the more often you have to replace them clean
them and replace them so this $15 filter may prolong the life of my perky filters
which I actually don't use Berkey filters I use Dalton I just I don't even
go into it's a long story but I prefer Dalton filters I have more faith in
built-in filters so here's what you need to make a pre-filter one of these a 1
inch threaded nipple 1 inch coupler I believe this is an ancient 3/8 long
piece of one-inch PVC a 1 and 1/8 inch hole bore some cleaner
some glue and let me get this out of the way for the health Nazis yes I'm using
this no I don't care if it has any residual stuff that may someday give me
brain damage I'm using 2 buckets from Ace Hardware no I don't care that they
may contain BP whatever the hell it might give you you know to form your
children or something so let's get that out of the way don't care go ahead and
talk about it all you like so what I'm going to do is drill hold on the bottom
of this bucket with this here be right back okay I got my one-inch PVC into my
one inch nipple and glued now I'm going to stick this up in my hole that I
drilled in the bottom of the bucket I'm gonna put some glue on it I'm gonna put
some glue on this and from the inside of the bucket press it down on that and
hold it tight for a minute or two and then I'm gonna take my cancer-causing
brain damaging birth defect clear silicone and put a bead of silicone
around it thread my filter onto the bottom of it let me get let me go ahead
and get a little bit more done and all a lot tell you how I'm going to use it all
right that's what it looks like on the inside that's what it looks like on the
outside and my plan my plan is to pour the water in here and let it filter out
the the worst of the largest part of the particles that you don't want to drink
and this bucket will when this drains in this bucket
this bucket will go into my Berkey filter thanks for watching
