[QUOTE="Samstwitch, post: 57055, member: 2770"] [COLOR=#99ccff]I've seen LOTS of videos and TV Reality Shows on different ways of filtering water with homemade devices. The one I'm interested in making uses layers of sand and charcoal in either a 5-Gallon Plastic Bucket or a 55-Gallon Plastic Barrel. On the TV Reality Show, [I]The Colony[/I]...they used a very large container (55-Gallon drum) and very thick layers of charcoal. That's what I want to make![/COLOR] [COLOR=#99ccff]However, in the videos and Reality Shows, when people make the water filters, they never specify what KIND of Charcoal to use or where to purchase it.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#99ccff]While investigating, I discovered that some people used "Activated Carbon" for filtering, but the people who specified 'Activated Carbon' were filtering in small containers (1-Gallon), using very small layers of Charcoal. I also discovered that Activated Carbon is sold in Pet Stores and online, but again, only in very[I] small[/I] (and rather expensive) quantities.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#99ccff]So, that brings me to my posts here.
