Homemade Water Filter! The 3-stage “Tuna-Can” water purifier! simple to make. works fast. made with 3 tuna cans, a plastic bottle and coffee filters (along with sand, gravel and activated carbon). great for SHTF Emergency, camping/hiking, off-gridding or everyday use. activated carbon filtering removes hundreds of contaminants from water and cleans the water of dirt, silt and sediment. it also removes any bad taste/odor or color and restores it’s clarity and good taste. *the 3 cartridge system keeps each level separate so mixing won’t occur and it makes it easy to clean or replace each level as necessary. also makes it easy to dry. just take apart and air dry after each use.

Many of you have asked how to filter water, without boiling it. The Black Berkey Elements are water purifiers! Here you will find out what I use and how well they work for me. Quick comment, I was asked by a sub, whether the filters needed to be primed? Yes ABSOLUTELY, they come with a rubber gasket that is tan in color, to do the job before you use them for the first time in the Berkey.
From a filtration perspective, the Black Berkey’s filter out the same chemicals and contaminants that the Super Sterasyl Ceramic Filters do, but go above and beyond by removing Lead, MTBE’s, and other heavy metals. In addition, since the Black Berkey’s are water purifiers, they filter out bacteria to a 99.99999% level and viruses to a 99.9999% level. The black Berkeys also filter out Chlorine to undetectable levels, while the ceramic will only remove 90%.
Black Berkeys last approx 6000 gallons per set of 2
Note: My mistake the larger of the two Berkeys I have shown is the Imperial Berkey NOT the Crown Berkey.
