[QUOTE="jakerz, post: 2420729, member: 18966"] Homemade Berkey filtration and homemade chlorine. Berkey material supply list: 2 five gallon buckets - homedepot, lowes, etc ([url]http://www.homedepot.com/catalog/productImages/300/b0/b0991248-1832-4628-ad92-3cc9ec8b974a_300.jpg[/url]) 1 ceramic candle filter ([url]http://www.amazon.com/Doulton-Sterasyl-Ceramic-W9121715-W9121709/dp/B003VT5TEY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393597226&sr=8-1&keywords=ceramic+candle+filter[/url]) 1 spigot ([url]http://www.amazon.com/Tomlinson-Ceramic-Crock-Lever-Faucet/dp/B000LXVBCC/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1393599930&sr=8-6&keywords=plastic+spigot[/url]) Method: I could describe it, but it is easier to just show it - [media=youtube]DIgHkKgmZAU[/media] Chlorine supply list: Pool shock - the higher the calcium hypochlorite CH, the better ([url]http://www.spaandpoolstore.com/poolife-turbo-shock-5lb-22-49-lowest-price/[/url]) Water ([url]http://csidesigns.com/flowgeeks/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/river-water.jpg[/url]) Method: 1 level teaspoon 49% CH (1 heaping half teaspoon 68% CH or higher) to one gallon water = Stock Chlorine Bleach. Let sit for 20min after mixing and you have stock chlorine. Make sure the pool shock only contains calcium hypochlorite and "other" ingredients, nothing else. By having pool shock in a dry powder form, you can make chlorine bleach whenever you need to as the storage life of the powder is indefinite. This is a better method since stock chlorine bleach degrades in 6-8 months. The 5 lbs of pool shock I linked you to will create 960 gallons of chlorine. That amount of chlorine will purify 3,686,400 gallons of water. That's enough purified water to last someone 60 years at a usage rate of 150 gallons a day. Chlorine measurement needed to treat water: 1 tsp chlorine for every 5 gallons of water - let chlorine treated water set awhile and aerate before consuming. The longer the better, but an hour should suffice if necessary. [/QUOTE]
