Hi Jon! We found this video several months ago and built the water filter based on your instruction to solve our clean water issue in our small town in Bolivia. We also made a video about it! Just wanted to say THANK YOU! To you and Josh Kearn. Amazing work. Life changing. Keep up the wonderful videos.
@@timisaac8121 we did get it working but are doing some upgrades including putting coiled copper wire and looking to put a uv light in the top of the last tank. We will post up any additional learnings. Pea gravel is pea sized stones. We also removed the mesh from the top of the third tank as there was an accumulation of algae there. Probably caused by some organic matter (grass) in the charcoal. We scooped out any charcoal that floated
@@Kaiwaipermaculturebolivia TY for kind reply! Yes, to UV light- My friend use that and completely gives them peace of mind. Very interesting of your success- Perhaps you will upgrade more as you expand. It is a very worthy project.
@@MrMadalien we cut a whole in the lid large enough to house a pipe that in turn could house the light. Sealed it all. Using town electricity. 5 minutes every morning.
I had a aquaculture business in Florida growing salt water LiveRock. Corals,pink coralline algae etc... each rock had over 500 species of life on it. We built reefs out of a100% calcium carbonate rock in the Atlantic Ocean & the Gulf of Mexico. We used a lot of charcoal in our filtration system of about 3,000 gallons. We use to recycle the charcoal by cooking it on cookie sheets in the oven at a preset heat and time. It was then sterile again for reuse. We hardly ever added new charcoal except over time from what spilled or turned to dust. We did this at least a dozen times and never replaced it with new. We kept extra charcoal only to replace very small amount lost charcoal from handling. It never went bad. Don’t remember the temperature or time length of heated oven. But I’m sure you can google it. Hope this may help. Great video, and love & compassion for human life. If everyone that watched this did something to make two other people’s life better, and those two did two more and so on..???? “What a Wonderful World it would be”. Right..??? just saying? Mahalo, & Aloha: Ron
this is great little over engineered from others i have seen on youtube . but thats awesome cause it cleans the water better . and i agree with you brad but what i would really like to see is this kind of thinking along the river ways that are already dammed up . sure it would cost a little bit and there would be three or four levels of dam walls but the out come would be cleaner water at a very great level . cleaner streams and water ways . humans destroyed our water ways with sewage and toxic waste its up to us to clean up our mess . the only way that will happen is stricter laws against water waste and mass water filtration plants . it would be alot easier then trying to send people to mars for god sake .
Distillation is the only way 100% to have pure water and you are Never Guessing. Your Gonna say, well true but that takes a lot of Power as in this example; 1200 watts for 24 hours is 21 Liters. So that is 28.8 KW @0 .14 = 4.04 CAD Since science is so full of holes nobody can solve the simplest problem. Example : 100 watts for 24 hours is 38 Liters and a total of 4.4 KW @0.14 = 0.61 CAD or A Wind Up Clock, A Hand Pump and a Sealed Container 0 watts for 24 hours is 23 liters costing you a slice of bread for Energy.

This is so wonderful and brilliant, thank God for Freedom. Im a trained Chemical Engineer and Molecular Biochemist this is just good Science. Thank You from the USA.
Question: how does it filters/eliminates bacteria, virus, protozoa, chemicals? If it can't filter/eliminate the ones above, can we consider it safe or practical?
Frank Smith if you watched the video properly, Professor John Kern developed this “primitive” system for his graduate thesis. He spent years testing it in various labs including Bangkok and Colorado. He essentially developed and improved this system in university. He needed post “college” education to do this properly and efficiently. And by the way, quoted words are the ones you misspelled in your comment. You’re welcome.
This kind of filter is very similar to the kinds of filters used for aquariums. The basic principles are the same, it's only the materials that vary slightly. For anyone trying to replicate this, I recommend looking into what's being done in the aquarium hobby to get some inspiration
@FLARIOH HI there from NEW MEXICO USA met a wonderful girl from Jamaica ,she was in the Military we met online she wanted to get married Right away and start making a family I WISH I WOULD HAVE DONE IT LOL! But it was happening all so fast but I would now still to make a family with a Jamaican girl if I found one now LOL😅😆 anyway cute story I thought I'd share 🇺🇸🙏😁😁
To make your charcoal change easier, you could use the screen netting to make bags to hold the charcoal. When it comes time to change the charcoal, just take the bags out, empty them and refill with fresh char, and put them back in tank 3.
@@whyistheworldsowicked there are videos here on RUclips, just search charcoal making. There are methods for making small to large batches using different methods. Good luck to you👍

Clean and edible water is a big business. By doing your method I'm sure the big company will close down. We are been fools by them by buying their product in order for them to survive and be rich... Thanks a million to you by sharing this value knowledge...
it's always great that knowledge like this is shared, but the rest of you statement is really naive - 1. not all people could make this 2. not all places have frequent rainfall 3. rain is seasonal 4. not all people could maintain systems like this 5. business will just turn into selling drums/pipes
Faruk, what is wrong with providing a service or product people want, like bottled drinking water? If they don't want to buy it they can make it themselves. Nobody forces anybody to buy bottled water. But many, many people are too lazy to learn a method like this and construct a water purification system on their own. So they prefer to buy bottled water. Does that make the companies providing the bottled water evil?
@@digitalian99 Dig down 13 ft or until you hit water. That is how we do it in the USA. We dig wells too. A deep well doesn't need to be filtered. All the ground it goes under filters it. Clean of chemicals too.
Farzuk Rahmad I saw a documentary once with Penn & Teller the comedians/magicians and the topic was drinking water, they showed how some companies were literally filling the bottled water they were selling from a tap. Just imagine people were actually paying for tap water that was being bottled and resold, lol.
What an amazingly simple setup I live off grid so would have to modify it to gravity feed or install 12V pump.Again great upload I see a few comments below picking the idea to pieces I wonder if they have ever built anything so useful and simple that could provide clear water to a village of people that need it.
I really enjoyed this video and I'm so excited to do this. Our water here is dirty (like it comes out black or sometimes rusty) and it bothers me since we have so many white clothes to wash every week. I hope I can do this soon. Thanks, Jon!
Here in Africa, a similar build will soon be used on a rain-water collection system. People take clean water for granted, but sure miss it when it's scarce.
Hi in Westren Europe most people take clean drinking water for granted. Many years ago they asked an old woman on tv what was the thing she would choose if she just could keep one modernity's that had come into common peoples household lives during her lifetime; she answered ''running water'.
First time here.This is one very intelligent men.I learn something great.A lot of poverty countries in Africa need too use this method in those villages.I enjoy the knowledgeable resources you teach us Sir.Salute Too you Thank You.👍🏾🙏🏾

honestly after viewing it, i am now installing my own water filtration system using this simple technology. im almost 70% complete ready. structure is being built and materials have been procured.. will post soon after i have installed it.
The earth need more someone like you. May God Bless You More Sir Jon! We are so grateful for this very helpful and informative knowledge you've shared... 🥰🥰🥰 MORE VIDEOS Please...
Grateful for having shared the great idea put into action and helping people around the world to be able to get their own clean drinking water for only a few cents per month. Thank you again
God bless you Jon your team aseell ad for educating , l'm in Africa the continent with luck of pure drinking water so l hope this gonna be best and easy methods of treating water, thanks
Can you illustrate it in a detailed drawing which drums are the sands, stones,gravel , charcoal and how are the drums connected properly, from inlet to outlet of water
Jon thank you for sharing your knowledge to get free safe clean filtered water. May many come to know and enjoy the most basic and essential necessity of Life.
What an amazing video and it was so clearly explained. I am amazed that you only have to change the charcoal once every two to three years!! That is amazing. Thanks for the video. I may do this in the Bahamas.
Thank you for having this on video. I’d been thinking about this water filter but don’t know how the layers would be. We have plenty of rain water that just go to waste. This will be a big help. Thank you again.
This is such an ingenious setup. Very precise step-by-step instructions ... Given to the world for free ... I wish with all my heart that I could come meet you all. There is just so much here to be thankful for. You are all a gift to the world. My deepest respect and gratitude for your wonderful videos! I cannot, not for the first moment, imagine why anyone would touch the 'thumbs down' button. I just don't understand that. There is just SO MUCH here to be grateful for¡
Thank you so much for demonstrating this in such a clear and precise manner! I will try making this for myself. I look forward to seeing more of your videos and have subscribed as well.
This is a very informative video. Can you tell us that it also removes the yellowness and smell of water and we request you to tell us step by step what to put in the first tank and what to put in the second tank. And what is in the third tank and also the order of water, from which tank the water should go
I was searching for idea to reuse my house wasted water and I found my solution into thia video, definitely i will work on this system and will feed back to you... Thx for idea and easy setup. Most of people should reuse there house waste water instead of running waste water to sewage... I want to spread this easy setup to our society.... In India this will really help. If someone not want to drink this water at least they can use for bathroom floor cleaning plants etc
I've Seen dozens and dozens of diy water filter videos over the years. And this is probably the first one I've seen that recommended washing and cleaning the sand/gravel before placing in the filter. (Though, admittedly, many will just put the materials in a container of their choice and flush water through until it's clear anyways). I prefer this hands on assurance. Great vid!
Amazing content brother!! This will help a lot of people out! This make you wonder why it’s illegal to do this here in the United States. They want us relying on the government for our food and water supply But regardless of that I am still going to do this!
UK is the same, not sure by law, but apparently you need to inform the water supplier if you have a water butt. Nasty people, yet write to them with concerns of chemicals in the water, and they wont tell you what they put in.
Thank you for sharing this free DIY making a water filter. This can help us a lot because everyday we need potable water for cooking ang drinking. God bless...
We used to practice this Rocks, Gravel, Sand and Charcoal technique in NE India, it works quite well. The Way he build his Filter is so professional and I bet you can use it for ages without any major problem. Good job👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. We live in Botswana which is 75% Kalahari dessert. I assume this method also works for cleaning rainwater. Your are very much appreciated! Chris
Thank you Sir for having this video on utube, hope I can replicate them in time because nowadays life is getting harder for living,and thank you of your humble presentation in details... "Mabuhay" 🇵🇭
Love the design, and the step by step assembly of the system. My only reservation for this setup was the centre tube for free movement of the set floated valve. It felt like an unintended bypass for the water which could reduce the filters effectiveness (Though I guess the reduced effectiveness would be minimal). I saw your concrete design which did address this issue with a separate float area from the filter. Maybe a larger diameter pipe for the float to sit inside and the top of the pipe could reach above the water line to simulate it's concrete counterparts method. Other than that I want to make one. Can just see my wife rolling her eye's at me.
I had this question and he answered it at the end. “Is there a limit to how long you used this method does it need some type of cleaning because if the water is being cleaned then the stuff(dirt or the stuff that has been gotten out the water) left behind goes to get rid of it. “ great explanation
I live off-grid and rely on rainwater. this filter system is just what I need. I plan on spreading this information to more people. Many thanks!
Does rain water also need to be filtered this way? Isn't rain water already "clean"?
Your playing a game with your long term health.

@@solomonktl6 I asked the commentor same question; NO RESPONSE
@@beneiseoleinmheart5614 Let's just hope and pray that Dats is healthy and alive... it's such a challenging time we're going through, isn't it?
Wow, very impressive. I didn't expect it to be so low maintenance & for the charcoal to last so long. Bravo!
Im running out of easy and quick ideas, so I think im gonna have someone do this filter system for me! ❤️ his voice also is very calming.

Sending my thanks and appreciation🙏 from Canada, Very smart man, Thank you Jon!!
iam impressed, thanks for sharing, I enjoyed your video and so I'll try it as my project inorder to have clean water at my community. Thanks.
Thank you, I built two smaller filters like this for my blue barrel aqua fur rain fed garden. This gave me more ideas on how to build a larger filter.
Grateful for having shared the great idea put into action and helping people around the world to be able to get their own clean drinking water for only a few cents per month. Thank you again
Thank you for the very informative video.
It takes passion to do such a great setup as you have. I learned a lot from your video.
Excellent - a simple, proven system; well explained. Thank you, I'm ready to start 😊
I am so PROUD of both of you for your contributions to keeping the world safely hydrated!!!❤️❤️
God bless you Jon your team aseell ad for educating , l'm in Africa the continent with luck of pure drinking water so l hope this gonna be best and easy methods of treating water, thanks
Can you illustrate it in a detailed drawing which drums are the sands, stones,gravel , charcoal and how are the drums connected properly, from inlet to outlet of water
@@angelinoquiachon9676 , there is a instruction manual at www.aqsolutions.org
Jon thank you for sharing your knowledge to get free safe clean filtered water. May many come to know and enjoy the most basic and essential necessity of Life.
This is an absolute gem! Thank you Jon
Thank You Jon. We are Grateful for your work
What an amazing video and it was so clearly explained. I am amazed that you only have to change the charcoal once every two to three years!! That is amazing. Thanks for the video. I may do this in the Bahamas.
Thank you for having this on video. I’d been thinking about this water filter but don’t know how the layers would be. We have plenty of rain water that just go to waste. This will be a big help. Thank you again.
Thank you soon much for helping 😊 & for sharing your knowledge, wisdom & positive innergy. 🙏🏾✨️🔑🌍💚
Thank you my friend this is exactly the information I was looking for. Blessings to you & your family
This is such an ingenious setup. Very precise step-by-step instructions ... Given to the world for free ... I wish with all my heart that I could come meet you all. There is just so much here to be thankful for. You are all a gift to the world. My deepest respect and gratitude for your wonderful videos!
I cannot, not for the first moment, imagine why anyone would touch the 'thumbs down' button. I just don't understand that. There is just SO MUCH here to be grateful for¡
Thank you so much for demonstrating this in such a clear and precise manner! I will try making this for myself. I look forward to seeing more of your videos and have subscribed as well.
Very clever to push the water upward through the first stage that has space for iron sediment to settle for simple back flushing. Nice work.
hey, I made this, work perfectly. Thanks for sharing an awesome idea
This is a very informative video. Can you tell us that it also removes the yellowness and smell of water and we request you to tell us step by step what to put in the first tank and what to put in the second tank. And what is in the third tank and also the order of water, from which tank the water should go
This filter can turn hard water into soft water ?
Thanks so much. I have a plan but your system seems simple and very efficient and your English is good. Thank you

I was searching for idea to reuse my house wasted water and I found my solution into thia video, definitely i will work on this system and will feed back to you... Thx for idea and easy setup. Most of people should reuse there house waste water instead of running waste water to sewage... I want to spread this easy setup to our society.... In India this will really help. If someone not want to drink this water at least they can use for bathroom floor cleaning plants etc
Very good info. Nothing like learning from seeing every step for yourself! Thank you ! 👍
Wonderful system. Just combine this with a rain collection system and you are good to go! Thanks for sharing.
I've Seen dozens and dozens of diy water filter videos over the years. And this is probably the first one I've seen that recommended washing and cleaning the sand/gravel before placing in the filter. (Though, admittedly, many will just put the materials in a container of their choice and flush water through until it's clear anyways). I prefer this hands on assurance. Great vid!
yeah why would anyone start their filter with dirty materials...takes just an extra step
Amazing content brother!! This will help a lot of people out! This make you wonder why it’s illegal to do this here in the United States. They want us relying on the government for our food and water supply But regardless of that I am still going to do this!
UK is the same, not sure by law, but apparently you need to inform the water supplier if you have a water butt. Nasty people, yet write to them with concerns of chemicals in the water, and they wont tell you what they put in.
Excellent class, so well presented. Thanks from California.
This reminds me of a natural spring water with all the rocks and sand the water is filtered through
🤔😉
Structured water is what nature is best at doing!🤔
I am proud of you and i appreciate you for being generosity sharing your knowledge to all people for their own good
This is a great video, Jon. Thank you for posting it.
Thank you for sharing this free DIY making a water filter. This can help us a lot because everyday we need potable water for cooking ang drinking. God bless...
We used to practice this Rocks, Gravel, Sand and Charcoal technique in NE India, it works quite well. The Way he build his Filter is so professional and I bet you can use it for ages without any major problem. Good job👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

I never skip ads with this kind of vlogs/ vloggers!!!! Thank you for sharing!
I’m thinking of adding a coconut shell carbon media layer in the final flow as studies look very positive of that as a medium.
@66rounds probably but we have no shortage here of that..
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. We live in Botswana which is 75% Kalahari dessert. I assume this method also works for cleaning rainwater. Your are very much appreciated!

What a beautiful way to ensure one has proper drinking water. Thank you for this video 🙌🏾
Thanks Jon! I actually watched the Thai version of this, reading subtitles. But i appreciate the translated version.
Thank you Sir for having this video on utube, hope I can replicate them in time because nowadays life is getting harder for living,and thank you of your humble presentation in details... "Mabuhay" 🇵🇭
Love the design, and the step by step assembly of the system. My only reservation for this setup was the centre tube for free movement of the set floated valve. It felt like an unintended bypass for the water which could reduce the filters effectiveness (Though I guess the reduced effectiveness would be minimal). I saw your concrete design which did address this issue with a separate float area from the filter. Maybe a larger diameter pipe for the float to sit inside and the top of the pipe could reach above the water line to simulate it's concrete counterparts method. Other than that I want to make one. Can just see my wife rolling her eye's at me.
Thank you, your video was most informative, very well done.
Did you build one
Great job and ready to build mine here in the Philippines!
Can't thank you enough. Digging my bore at my yard and was wondering how to clean water. Thank you again
I had this question and he answered it at the end. “Is there a limit to how long you used this method does it need some type of cleaning because if the water is being cleaned then the stuff(dirt or the stuff that has been gotten out the water) left behind goes to get rid of it. “ great explanation
Good demonstration. Thank you for the information. Such an intelligent man.
This is helpful. I appreciate you and the to you’ve taken to show us how to do it
Simple but great system. Thank you so much for sharing this useful knowledge
By far my favorite recipe! You will be gnawing the bones to try and get more!
Thank You for Sharing , I will pass it along ., God Speed and Blessings to You and the Investor as well.
