Join us as we unveil the simple, cost-effective solution that has revolutionized water purification on our homesteads for over 8 years.
In this comprehensive guide, we take you step-by-step through the self-reliant creation of our biosand filter using basic materials like PVC pieces, gravel, and sand. Discover the importance of each component and how they work together to produce clean, safe drinking water straight from rainwater collection systems.
But that's not all - we also explore the advantages and disadvantages of this innovative system dating back to the 1800s, shedding light on its suitability for off-grid living and sustainable lifestyles. From its low-cost construction to its minimal maintenance requirements, learn why the biosand filter is a game-changer for water filtering in remote locations, water system for home use, rainwater system for home use, rainwater filter for drinking, a rainwater filtering method.
This is a DIY rainwater filter, that produces 90-99% pure water, water filter project, water filter installation.
Join us on a journey to cleaner, healthier water with "The Ultimate Off-Grid Rainwater Filter System." Don't miss out on this essential tool for sustainable living!

It's like a mini-toren system. When I lived in Indonesia, it seemed like everyone had to use this type of system. Never did I see any water treatment areas in the Bandung area.
Utilizing nature!✌🏾
Flipping awesome! 🙌🏼💧💧💧 I just joined your channel. You guys are awesome. Im 1 year off grid in NW New Mexico. I too lived in a tent about four months , now building an sandbag home🌍🛖. I'm grateful to all the input you have to offer✌🏽💚🕯
Really appreciate you joining the journey and your support! I'm glad you can relate to our tent experience!😅 More knowledge to come! ✌🏾
...and a lot of the stuff Mika has done [THE END] ... Man, you're the king of cliffhangers! (love it! lol). I heard about sand filters, never thought that it could be this small, or simple. thx
😅...I enjoy doing those cliffhangers! Thanks. ✌🏾
Have you ever had the water lab tested? Heavy metals, pesticides, forever chemicals etc
Also why not implement activated charcoal like other natural water filters?
i've seen too many Geoengineering Watch videos so these same questions crossed my mind. love the idea of not having to buy a filtration system though.
I'll have a separate video to do our water tests and get the results back. We're using rainwater, so we're not looking at many contaminates, it would be more our storage area we'd have to consider. we don't have a well, but I'll be sure to show the test results
As for the Activated charcoal, that is mainly used for taste and color, it has filtration but not like the sand. You can look back in the video and see how clear the water is, no color to it and it tastes like the rain smells!✌🏾
It's a simple low-tech tried and true method of filtering water for potable use. You can find other people's videos on their test results with the bio sand filter and all of them come out with a 98% purity, with no contaminates or elevated metal or heavy metals. There's a lot of studies on this filtration system. ✌🏾
The yellow iris is a plant that is often used in bio filtration systems because it is a plant that takes up heavy metals. In the long term such a bio filter with plants and a combined sand filter in a single system would be preferable because it combines several functions at once. For example the filtration of dissolved heavy metals and the addition of sufficient oxygen for the aerobic bacteria.
Oh I see.. I know it was moringa seeds that also can filter similar to yellow Irish. But I do have ideas for a regular " Bio filter" utilizing plants to help filter as well. Like you said multiple functions. We like things that do multiple functions. ✌🏾
Great video
Great video! I wonder if there is a way to build it out of metal? Maybe a couple of old stainless coffee pot or something and the plumbing done in copper? ✌️❤️
Definitely could be made that way. The concept is solid, the material to build is interchangeable. ✌🏾
You have so many cool interesting projects. I love learning about them and see the hard work that goes in but that they're accessible at the same time.
This property is a lifetime project, with all the little side projects! Plenty more to come! Thanks for supporting and being apart of the journey!✌🏾
Love it. Simple and small
Good stuff 👍
Appreciate it!✌🏾
Sweet filter 😎
Thank you! I'll be excited to show the test results when I get the water sample tests from the state!✌🏾
thank you for sharing! good work!
You're welcome and thank you!✌🏾
Thanks for the info!!

The Big island has más water for free. Tent life is huge out here, been camping with the family for 4 years now while working on a homesite. Cheap land in the jungle, y'all should check it out.
Nice! I'll definitely take a look!✌🏾
Ooooo, that troll ending. Man you got me that was perfect.
So a couple questions, in the dry season I expect the pond to dry up completely, are you planning on collecting that sediment for planting in?
You keep mentioning a food forest, Northern AZ isn't known for fruit. What trees are closest to your climate constraints?
We will scrape out the sediment and Organic material if the basin completely dried out... there's over 10,000 gallons in there, so we'll see how far into summer we get, in hoping to reach Monsoon rains before running out. But as for fruit trees and plants and such, there's so many we could plant in our zone here. We have some grape vines, Mulberry trees and strawberries we still need to plant, that we already have here. But we still need to save up a little $ so we can get more fruit trees, shrubs, bushes etc. Even though it's not known for fruit up here, we just need to find what works for our climate. Appreciate the questions!✌🏾
It's the hard part of explaining and talking about the future, because I have all the plans, but we're only 2 people so it'll take some time to create everything that's been planned. But one step at a time!😄✌🏾
A stainless steel splatter proof for frying(without its handle) can come in handy as a lid for your top bucket, as it would keep debris out, while letting oxygen in.
That's a great idea! Thanks for the input!✌🏾
HUMM,, Interesting, I might have to try this.
At my camp I was using creek water for washing up, I set up a biochar filter to run the water through, seemed to work pretty well, I was not drinking it.
✌
Nice! Yea activated charcoal or biochar mainly functions for absorbing/ filtering for color and taste. ✌🏾
so you are saying whatever clean water you get out of it will be used to clean the sand in the end?
No, I used water from our Rainwater catchment basin. Clear, clean water to start with. Once it gets put together with the sand and gravel that was cleaned, I'll cycle the same batch of water through the system until the water starts clearing up. ✌🏾
Will you be sharing this blueprint?
Possibly in the future. I actually made the blueprints and how I pieced this together and the whole process on our Green Guardians Patreon membership, which helps support the Channel and the Greening the Desert Project, but also helps our members be able to support themselves!

How about the plastic leaching from the tarps and those chemicals? I’m not familiar with having to filter for that type of issue. What do you know?
Those are billboard vinyl tarps, so they're UV resistant, but obviously they'll break down over time, but for what you're asking Reverse Osmosis is probably the best for filtering water. I think we can look into the systems they put into bunkers for the military and such to get an idea of what might be the best in those regards. ✌🏾
I’m not a water expert but I don’t think the water is safe for drinking with just bacteria filtration, because the bacteria will convert the any toxic ammonia and nitrites into nitrates. Typically the nitrates would need to be processed by plants before being nitrogen free. I’m not sure how excess nitrate affects human health.
It would be worth it to make some kind of hydroponics-like filtration systems. If you can find a native and food safe sponge algae then this could serve as a final stage for filtration.
I can understand what you're saying, but there have been multiple studies on these and the concept, as well as many people who have these systems do have their water tested. They come back as 97% pure with no residuals and as far as I know, very very low on nitrates if any traceable amounts. Appreciate your input!✌🏾
