Our Gravity Fed
Ceramic Water Filter System is
"Silver Impregnated"
A
recent rush of attention to provide safe drinking water during
emergencies has led to a lot of misunderstandings about the water
purification processes and the use of ceramic water filters. There have
been some that say that in order to purify water safely, you need an
expensive gravity feed, or a cumbersome siphon filter, or even a costly
pressurized water filter system. These ideas are absolutely FALSE.
We have developed an amazingly effective system that is uncomplicated,
economical and is easy to use. With our system you will produce an
abundance of biologically safe drinking water and water for
food-preparation for your entire family from water sources like a pond,
stream, river, flood, lake, rain, well, cisterns, pools, or from the
city water you use daily. Pre-filtering is recommended if you are going
to be using an unclean water source.
The heart of our system is a 4X4 granular activated carbon and
silver-impregnated, very tightly constructed ceramic water filter made
especially for us by the manufacturer of highly respected ceramics
cartridges. It is especially designed for the water purification
process. The ceramic element provides a micro porous structure that
creates a physical barrier to any particle larger than .5 microns. It
has been specifically designed to provide the best elimination of
impurities from a water source with the least amount of resistance or
pressure drop. Our element is also well suited for the absorption of
trace contaminates and the removal of odor-causing impurities.
Once the ceramic filter has been activated by submersing it under
water, it will function as designed (based on the cleanliness of the
water) creating up to 1000’s of gallons of clean drinking water. We have
tried to make our 3 stage filtering system maximize filter life by
using 2 pre-filters. We use a 10 micron cloth pre-filter covering the
ceramic filter and a 100 micron mesh pre-filter which is placed at the
top of the filtering bucket. When using these 2 pre-filters (the
largest particles will be caught in the first mesh filter and smaller
will be caught in the 2nd cloth filter. These 2 pre-filters will handle
most of the larger impurities thereby dramatically reducing the amount
of particles which reach the actual filter. This will help the ceramic
portion of our filter last longer.
Our filter is impregnated with silver and will not permit the growth of
bacteria because the silver provides a hostile environment for
microbiological organisms. Our filter will not support their growth
within the ceramic medium itself. Ceramic filters may be cleaned up to
100 times using the scrubbing pad that is included with both the systems
and filter replacement kits. Once in use the filter can be cleaned
repeatedly until the ceramic shell gets too thin and cracks or breaks.
The activated carbon portion of the filter will eventually be depleted
and will no longer remove bad taste and or odor. Our filter has been
designed to attain and maintain a good flow rate of clean drinking water
of up to 1 gallon of clean drinkable water per hour under gravity
flow. The filter life will vary depending on the cleanliness of the
water source being used. Normal conditions should provide 1000’s of
gallons of clean drinking water per filter.
*Flow rate calculated with upper chamber full to top. Flow rate decreases as water level declines
IMPORTANT UPDATE NOTICE:
In making your selection of a water source DO NOT pick a source that has any type of overpowering smell to it. That will probably require some sort of a chemical treatment to make it safe to drink. The Cloth
Sock is to be used only when water is dirty otherwise it slows down the
water filtration process significantly. It must also be thoroughly wet to allow water through. This will make it filter faster.
