I show you how I built a cheap and easy sediment filter for spring water catchment! This is the first video in a series ''water system'' There will be a video for each step in the process// using a spring as your main water source for your house//homestead. water filter, homesteader, water catchment, spring water, sediment filter, off grid,

Great job
Thank you very much
Freaks are in
I really don’t get why you guys having the most beautiful country in the world rather live out in the nowhere living this way just to be alone don’t make sense for me
It's called freedom
Awesome and Simple Solutions!
Just a head up as a plumber and also 5yr off grid. White pvc is non potable and leaches into the water. It literally says non potable on it.
Yes it works, but you'll have to disconnect the bucket to empty the sediment once it's full. What a PITA!
epic series on the spring mate
It doesn’t freeze in winter?
Thank you! Please keep spreading your knowledge bro- 🤙
Thanks😊 again. Watched for a second time
Great job explaining your process. Thank you
Nice little video. Just FYI, those "port things" are called bulkhead fittings. This is a nice simple design. I'm thinking of doing something similar to this, though a little larger to allow more time for stuff to settle out.
Any benefit to adding a fine screen to the last filter in the bucket to get the finest bits of debris that didn’t get filtered out earlier?
Interesting, thank you
Thanks for the video! I'm out here in the Coast range of Oregon, looking for ways to use my spring. Your video helped a lot!! Thanks for your time and effort.
How would one do a spring water sediment filter before a buried cistern in a place that freezes during winter?
This was extremely helpful. I have watched at least 20 similar potable water spring development videos and this one was by the very best education on an excellent cost effective way to filter a natural spring. Ty!!!
I love this
your line will not freeze in winter?
I'm about to find out. I have the same question. I have a spring I've used for over 40 years. It doesn't have a prefilter like this one. The water goes straight into an old spa tub ( bathtub/hot tub) from a trailer. It was a scratch and ding part from a builder and free. The water is piped directly into the tub and the overflow just runs out over the top. The drain feeds the line to the house,gardens,etc. To save on a filter I just have a piece of metal window screen held on with a hose clamp at the top of the feed. Dirt does in there when it rains really hard since the sediment doesn't have time to settle. It has never frozen even at sub zero temps , The1" black plastic piping runs over the ground in a lot of places since it gores over rocky watefalls,etc. and couldn't be dug in. The pond has so frozen we couldn't break the ice for the horses using a splittling maul or sledge hammer and the water didn't freeze. We keep the water in the sink running 24/7 a day in winter. Our water heater has a simple pvc by-pass so the water doesn't have to go through the heater. A pain to open and close the valves when you want hot water but bettter than no water and broken pipes. So long as the water is moving it doesn't freeze. Seems too small and would freeze but the idea is great. I would spend way less time from not having to clean my spa tub holding tank very much.W ish he had posted a parts list that was very clear and streaight forward.
this would work better in a 55 gal blue plastic drum, the water slows down and doesn't move as much so the sediment drops faster
Excellent design! This is super useful!
This one is really instructive and I like your no nonsense approach in tackling this project. You explained everything clearly. This is the kind of instructional videos we need.
This is an awesome video my only question is how does that water flow up that initial slight incline in your first holding tank?
Great video and spring box setup. Thanks for sharing! I'm lucky (have a spring) but not smart (need help getting past scratching my head). This really helps.
I have a question. How would one use a very silty high powered river to water a field?
Good work,i did same thing too
That looks like a brilliant design
That female to female peice of pvc is called a nipple. Awesome video! Thanks for sharing
great video. I'm designing a medium sized slow sand water filter system (minimum output of 2,000gal/day). This is in a remote part of Haiti. The design currently is a bigger version of your design but we are using two 500 gallon round tanks instead of 5 gal buckets. About 3 months per year, our source creek will have very high turbidity. Any thoughts on passive mechanical filter designs to add inside of sediment filter to improve performance beyond basic gravity?
Consider adding a 90 or 45 at the inlet inside the bucket. It would direct sediment away from the filter giving it a chance to settle. Good deal all in all, simple!
Hi Joe, any thoughts on my question above in the comments regarding adding a passive structure inside the filter to increase effectiveness during raining seasons/times of higher turbidity?
Hello, I appreciate your comments and I am preparing for a natural spring in OH. Can you please explain the 45/90 degree comment? And also, would you cover the initial collection box area to avoid ground run off and animal contamination?
Amazing dude thanks
Thanks just what I needed. I’ll sub yr channel
I cannot watch these stoner videos, mannn.. uhhh....
Any plans to make a spring fed refrigerator?
Thank you!
Where did you get the black slotted filter that is attached to your outflow pipe?
Thank you sir
Where did you get it and how much for the water storage tank?
Why use PVC instead of black poly pipe? It’s cheaper and bends.
depends on lengths of poly pipe available PVC may be cheaper in total.
I would consider adding a gamma type screw on lid cheap enough and would be more animal proof RUclips channel “base camp WNC” also has great info on developing springs. Awesome video what state are you in?
Great job for anyone who doesn’t have natural clay you can use bentonite clay Well drillers use it. If you can’t find that clumping kitty litter is the same thing. Do not attempt to develop a well without clay
I loved the video. I just purchased an off grid home. We have a spring that catches plenty of water. My issue is sediment. I have a 25 micron filter on, but it’s catching way too much, clogs within a day or so. This is the system I had in my head, just couldn’t put it together. You’re a genius man! Now hers my input: instead of dumping the bucket, what if you had a valve dump? Like a third valve, that just washes the sediment out?
Thank you so much man, this really helped, I am trying to build a tiny creek catchment system to gravity-feed a 250-gallon irrigation tank. My property looks just as remote and raw as yours. I love it. Thanks again from Italy
Thank you from Panama also great idea going to put in practice.
Thats pretty cool man.
Nice spring dude! Awesome. Spring development videos like this are great. I bet you know about ram pumps and all that too. Have you ever built a rock tumbler before? Like for polishing agates other cool stones? You could probably tune one to run for weeks on end with the valve you've got hooked up. I like your spring service box too. Totally dialed! Cool. Keep it posted!
