At first I didnt get the set up, but now I do. He filters water for drinking, cooking, washing up, etc. but also has a catch system set up for the gray water to run down to be used for his crops. That's pretty ingenious.
Только фильтр он сделал коренным образом наоборот ))))) Сначала идет грубая очистка и далее по уменьшению. Т. е. самый нижний слой должен быть как раз углем, потом песок и так далее. Наверху крупные камни )))
People have all these questions for you but I am very pleased at what you accomplished. This took many hard labor days to get done and the water came out clean and clear and you have a water collection and reservoir that you and your family can use. Bravo.
Thank you for the peace, tranquillity and ingenuity of your videos....when the video ends I snap back into the noise and chaos of my life. Someday i will buy some land and fulfill my dream of going off grid ....hopefully while my back is still strong.
Has anyone else watched so many primitive channels and videos on their channels that you feel like you are getting closer and closer to the point of saying fuck my life and trying or is it me ? 😅 EDIT 1: Punctuation
I've had a go at the minor stuff, cordage, grinding an axe head, purifying clay and making a pot but I didn't have a way to fire it properly. I'd love to have a big property and be able to really get into it.
Yes Joshua, but trust me, these vids have production assistants. Not feasible to do this in real life. For example, in this video he probably had someone fill the first tank with a five gallon home depot bucket. To use a 2 quart clay pot would take half a day.
Bezersleep REIA well some of the channels are legit of course the OP Primitive Technology guy is completely solo doing things, he still might use things off screen but it ruins the fun for it. Kinda like Bear Grylls (how ever you spell his name) yeah his show was fake but he really did drink his own piss, he really jumped in quicksand, he really put himself in danger, he really ate those bugs lol.
The coating idea makes sense as it will eventually coat and seal his whole system from leaks etc. but I do know you can use banana to raise potassium levels in soil. I wonder if he’s thinking ahead as usual and using it as a nutrient mix for his garden. 🤔 awesome and always interesting to watch.
AN inverted roof to funnel the rainfall into the upper tank - you're right! Plus it would shade both tanks, maybe parts of the garden and chicken coop also? I had thought a new building.
Redo the sedimentary filter. This wont work. Your filter is upside down...Wont work this way. Visualize: The water pours in from the top. The sedimentary layers should be, top to bottom: Stone, pebble, sand, cloth (optional), charcoal. Bottom Charcoal layer should be reasonably thick as well.
Of course it will still work. It would be better to place the pebbles and stones on top, the sand will wash through over time with this configuration, but it will still absolutely filter water... as you can see by watching the end of the video. Next time he refills the filter he can swap the pebbles and stones to the top.
You want it to go biggest to smallest, so it won't clog and also will filter well. I understand the charcoal should be powdered, yeah? The stuff they put will wash down though.
boil it...... wut. you refine the carbon to its simpel form by take away the other stuffs. often temperatures around 1000 C. then you can call it ativated carbon.
Essentially this is only a sand filter. The carbon isn't small enough to do much. Besides, carbon is mainly used as a chlorine stripper which I doubt there is any in the water he uses. I would add some moss on top though since it contains iodine.
Wow! I remember I used to water mango plants with my grandpa. Thanks for bringing me back these moments. I still follow your progress with your primitive life. Greetings from Mexico, amigo.
Awesome videos expect for amount of adds, for a video like this i would be looking for no more than 2-3 adds a video, there are too many adds put on these videos, but the water filter layers are wrong way round, next time you maintain it change it all around, it will make water purity better and you can wait longer periods of time maintaining it than the way you are using it.
What a clever system. Too bad about the filtration but that isn't permanent anyway. I do wonder whether without a sealant on the walls, the water might not seep through quite badly and be a problem. But it's a lovely design. You should probably still boil the water but that's up to you....
now you have an upside down filter) you probably would need a fine gravel on the bottom to keep the sand from going into the output tube, then coal, sand, gravel and rocks to save the sand from the water stream. that's the only purpose of a big rocks
I think is filter is in the good order, you want the coarse thing at the bottom so the water can flow, then you go with smaller and smaller so your filtering element stay up. The rocks don't filter a thing they are just there to hold the filter up. If he had started with the coarse and ended with the sand, he would have no flow at all cause the water would need to pass through the sand at the drain hole, which would clog. Some pebble on top would keep the sand from moving too much.
Good job. I’ve seen a lot of these lately and I’ve got one question for you, why is it that on everyone of them nobody has a drain plug or drain tap to empty the reservoir with? Just curious. But still awesome show sir. To make from what nature provides and your mind is truly amazing. Keep it up sir keep it up.
I see a lot of comments talking about the order in which he stacks filter media... you have to take into consideration that it needs to be maintained. This isnt a canister filter you can easily take apart. The reason Carbon and sand are on top is because in this configuration the sand and carbon take up 90% of the mechanical filtration... this makes it easy to replace the carbon and clean the sand instead of having to pull all that stone and peeble out first... the stone is used for aeration and off-gassing.
This is the reason I love South America, resources are great, I'm actually far in North America, Iove to build also, in June is 2018, go to world geography21 and I'll do a video of Building to prove it.
Find some water lillies or lily pads and put them in the outside reservoir to prevent algae, or keep it covered so algae doesn't grow on stagnant water.
You should and a drain plug you put it at the bottom of the water catcher and plug it up when you don’t want water to come out and unplug when you want to drain it
Pretty sophisticated masonry project! Why such primative tools! Why isn’t he flint knapping some of that river rock into some effective paleo tools? Quite a time disconnect between design and engineering and tool technology.
yup that is true, then again he could of throw lime in there to disinfect the water, lime tree to grow in certain regions in the area, I think it is good spot to grow a lime tree when in needed to disinfect the water when needed. Note don't let the lime tree grow to close to the well or there will be collapsed in the well's hole.
probably, but not really, the charcoal, gravel, and sand are the basic thing keep smaller parasites falling into the water, it's the bacteria and virus are more dangerous than the parasite. Take tapeworm for example and it was living a man at least a week or two and he had not died from it, but animals who have tapeworm does die from it and tell me which one can be more harmful to the human body the virus that spread by mosquitos that carried Ebola or a tapeworm? To know right and wrong it is neither, but which one performs more deadly can impact the people by which one is more feared the most to man's mind. Anyway, boiling is not a bad idea in starting, then again, what was the point filtering it in the first place then? You already took out the eggs, and you already throw banana tree to disinfecting it in the first place so basically, it is fine, it just you gotta remove the dirty water sit in the bottom. For the truth, people can just simply throw anti-biotic pills into clean water and it doesn't purify it no matter how much bacteria or virus live in it even though boil, sometimes there is a reason why we find coal in our earth and going through lots process to make pure water, so whatsit on top of our earth is the dirt, secondly we know is mud, but then there are sands and gravels could be mix together and after that it has there are bit giant rocks and bedrocks. Clearly, God design isn't crummy at all, but he knows what humanity needs, not slavery, but it is because we are just simply human that is living. I know here and their humanity can't live and can live without if the man lived without God they simply fall and die of thirst and no food that will grow or come by. There is some reasons hard to explain and reason that is easy to explain.
Beth Ann if you could boil this much water, you’d be better of with pressured steam. Anyway this tank has a carbon filter. So I wouldn’t be scared of it.
I really love and enjoy watching ur videos always...y don't u guys while doing work or building things but when time to eat...catch and cook something let's us see ..surely interesting.😉😉😉😉👍👍👍
OMG?! Did you forgot about that, i was wondering about mosquitos. But do you think mosquitos will be close where people are? Maybe he's far away from them
Dude, I live in Brazil, Zika/Dengue mosquito will lay eggs in a glass of water inside your room in the middle of a city if you leave it alone for a few days/weeks.
It will matter over time. The big rocks are supposed to be on top to act as a splash break so you don't stir up the sand as you pour water in and wash it out over time. The sand and then charcoal are supposed to be the last layers. The charcoal filters the smallest particles through chemical absorption and should be kept insulated from outside materials so it doesn't get saturated and become useless. You want it to be your last line of defense.
mi abuelo lo hacia muy diferente , esta bien que tenemos acceso a macetas de plantas , lo que el hacia es tener dos macetas y a una le hizo un agujero muy pequeño en su base y la puso arriba de la otra después pone agua del rió y caiga de a gotas limpias sin barro ni nada .
You should put a thick layer of grass on top of the sand so that it won't just place the sand when you are pouring the water in and it will catch the big debris
Goodwork nalilibang ako sa panonood sa kanila nakakawala ng homesick dito sa ibang bansa hay di bale malapit narin akong makatapos sa contract ko her mawawala narin ang inip ko
i think the stain from the banana trunk acts like a binder to the wall cells to prevent the walls from absorbing the water, because i understand roman concrete is very porous.
To all the trolls and know-it-alls who this guy is doing it wrong. Go out there and build your own water filtering system from scratch with nothing but home made tools, video tape it, and put it on RUclips if you think you can do better. A lot of people talk a big game in the comment section, yet no one has the balls to go out and prove they can do it better themselves.
A well-designed filter and reservoir, with re-use designed in for overflow and drain/"grey" water; I like it! But I thought the larger gravel and pebbles were meant to go on top of the filter to prevent the sand from being stirred up when new water is added, and that charcoal was supposed to be the final stage of the filter. Also that the charcoal was more effective if it was ground finer. Still, it seems to work just fine the way you have built it, so I don't suppose the order of your filtration components is all that critical. Well done!
Why didn't he bring the bottom of the tank just a little higher then the out side platform and put in a drain plug at the bottom of the tank, if he had done that, then he would not had to get in the tank to get the water out. But on a side note, good job.
Can you please explain why you out the banana tree chunks in there? Maybe as a sponge? Nice system --- wish you would of out a drain in the lower tank (lol)
Noi gente di città, probabilmente, siamo oramai troppo molli, abbiamo troppe pretese che invece non vanno bene per le persone che vivono beatamente e primitivamente poiché possiedono gli anticorpi con la corazza!
At first I didnt get the set up, but now I do. He filters water for drinking, cooking, washing up, etc. but also has a catch system set up for the gray water to run down to be used for his crops. That's pretty ingenious.
And his lime pit.
Только фильтр он сделал коренным образом наоборот ))))) Сначала идет грубая очистка и далее по уменьшению. Т. е. самый нижний слой должен быть как раз углем, потом песок и так далее. Наверху крупные камни )))
Вот ведь смотрел и думал ровно об этом же.

I absolutely adore that water system!!! 😍
So amazing. The dip in the bottom of the tank is genius!
Wow that’s so cool you out make it go threw the plant rows to irrigate
Nice house u bliud and ur garden I rather live in wild and make own food and house that would be fun
first video of primitive technology and maaan im impressed by this guy. i didnt know that we could make a filter like that.
PARABÉNS sensacional ÓTIMO trabalho
The world should be watching you all the time my man!!! you are awesome!!
Has anyone else watched so many primitive channels and videos on their channels that you feel like you are getting closer and closer to the point of saying fuck my life and trying or is it me ? 😅
EDIT 1: Punctuation
I've had a go at the minor stuff, cordage, grinding an axe head, purifying clay and making a pot but I didn't have a way to fire it properly. I'd love to have a big property and be able to really get into it.
Yes Joshua, but trust me, these vids have production assistants. Not feasible to do this in real life. For example, in this video he probably had someone fill the first tank with a five gallon home depot bucket. To use a 2 quart clay pot would take half a day.
Bezersleep REIA well some of the channels are legit of course the OP Primitive Technology guy is completely solo doing things, he still might use things off screen but it ruins the fun for it. Kinda like Bear Grylls (how ever you spell his name) yeah his show was fake but he really did drink his own piss, he really jumped in quicksand, he really put himself in danger, he really ate those bugs lol.
i want to do that, but with a group of 3-5
Lol Absolutely 😂
The coating idea makes sense as it will eventually coat and seal his whole system from leaks etc. but I do know you can use banana to raise potassium levels in soil. I wonder if he’s thinking ahead as usual and using it as a nutrient mix for his garden. 🤔 awesome and always interesting to watch.
You could build some sort of rain-catching system so you don't have to manually refill the tank
the platform acts already like a rain-catching system.
AN inverted roof to funnel the rainfall into the upper tank - you're right! Plus it would shade both tanks, maybe parts of the garden and chicken coop also?
I had thought a new building.
that's a good idea. or a well could work too.
He could put plumbing and electrical work in also
Cosmo Rea plumbing yes. Sarcasm no.
Nice that you capture and use the gray water.
I like so much you videos im from Argentina

You want it to go biggest to smallest, so it won't clog and also will filter well. I understand the charcoal should be powdered, yeah? The stuff they put will wash down though.
i heard you need to boil a charcoal to activate it
boil it...... wut. you refine the carbon to its simpel form by take away the other stuffs. often temperatures around 1000 C. then you can call it ativated carbon.
Essentially this is only a sand filter. The carbon isn't small enough to do much. Besides, carbon is mainly used as a chlorine stripper which I doubt there is any in the water he uses. I would add some moss on top though since it contains iodine.
You should make food storage like a primitive fridge
Dude this is so cool. The dent in the tank is such a smart move.
Con un hombre que me guste ,quisiera vivir así,linda la naturaleza
Hey, thats awesome, but can you make a pool?

Hats off my friend, amazing work
khôn phê đấy
Put some big and medium rocks on top of the Sand. So you dont pour the water directly on the sand. so you dont wash the sand away
Коммуной или совместным поселением выживать гораздо легче. Одному не получится, нужно распределение работ.
Very good message
Awesome videos expect for amount of adds, for a video like this i would be looking for no more than 2-3 adds a video, there are too many adds put on these videos, but the water filter layers are wrong way round, next time you maintain it change it all around, it will make water purity better and you can wait longer periods of time maintaining it than the way you are using it.
everything comes together real smart, i love it! but please, render the outside so it looks real pretty.
great job bro and your place is so beautiful.

nice marihuana bro!
This Guy is Cool!
Great! I mean REALLY great! Keep it up and the dshungel becomes something different :)
Do a shower
Build a pillar then a tank and a bamboo plumbing system
All excess water can go to other thanks for the plants
now you have an upside down filter) you probably would need a fine gravel on the bottom to keep the sand from going into the output tube, then coal, sand, gravel and rocks to save the sand from the water stream. that's the only purpose of a big rocks

Nice system.try use a little stick on the cane of water
Wow, this is amazing! keep it up! :D
Good job. I’ve seen a lot of these lately and I’ve got one question for you, why is it that on everyone of them nobody has a drain plug or drain tap to empty the reservoir with? Just curious. But still awesome show sir. To make from what nature provides and your mind is truly amazing. Keep it up sir keep it up.
I suggest that you wait to sediment to sink to the bottom and then have a valve to leak out water at the top

i love the blue color of the bricks
I was right. it is a bath house. Has grey water collection for the crops. Genius.
You should and a drain plug you put it at the bottom of the water catcher and plug it up when you don’t want water to come out and unplug when you want to drain it
Pretty sophisticated masonry project! Why such primative tools! Why isn’t he flint knapping some of that river rock into some effective paleo tools? Quite a time disconnect between design and engineering and tool technology.
Can you please tell me why did you put the banna tree in the water tank
komer west the banana tree has disinfecting properties.
yup that is true, then again he could of throw lime in there to disinfect the water, lime tree to grow in certain regions in the area, I think it is good spot to grow a lime tree when in needed to disinfect the water when needed. Note don't let the lime tree grow to close to the well or there will be collapsed in the well's hole.
Probably should still boil it before you drink it though due to things like Cholera. and parasites.
probably, but not really, the charcoal, gravel, and sand are the basic thing keep smaller parasites falling into the water, it's the bacteria and virus are more dangerous than the parasite. Take tapeworm for example and it was living a man at least a week or two and he had not died from it, but animals who have tapeworm does die from it and tell me which one can be more harmful to the human body the virus that spread by mosquitos that carried Ebola or a tapeworm?

I like how its primitive yet half of that is made of bricks and cement
Impulse Not so strange. The Egyptians and others were doing that millenniums ago.
Next on the list: build a well-sweep next to the thing, and fabricate a bigger bucket for filling and emptying.

no waste of water - perfect system
Wow... He putted the filtering elements backward... the coal is supposed to be the last thing
I was thinking the same thing
I thought the same! Does it matter though?
It will matter over time. The big rocks are supposed to be on top to act as a splash break so you don't stir up the sand as you pour water in and wash it out over time.

it still works.

Suddenly is clean water, but why? And How does it work? Thank in advanced! Great job!
So smart bro keep it up
Việt Nam điểm danh nào
You should put a thick layer of grass on top of the sand so that it won't just place the sand when you are pouring the water in and it will catch the big debris
The design is highly inconvenient
I wanna come here with 200 shovels,metal rakes, little shovels, buckets
Now you can take the water you save and re filter it, making a self replenishing system

Be careful with the baby mosquito
That filter i the wrong way around for optimal use. fine sand/charcoal at the bottom and then bigger at the topp.
What was the banana tree chunks thrown in the tank for?
So he could bathe in banana water
i think the stain from the banana trunk acts like a binder to the wall cells to prevent the walls from absorbing the water, because i understand roman concrete is very porous.

Wouldn't a drainage hole with a plug be easier ?
Woulldn't the tank water get millions of mosquito larvae ?

Good good
Should wash to clean the sand too.
