[QUOTE="Wheel Gun, post: 2390604, member: 19286"] Back to the charcoal issue. Below is a photo of my SHTF water filtration system. It's basically two 5-gallon buckets with a ceramic filter in between. The filter is a ceramic filter that supposedly "removes 99.999% bacteria, reduces/removes virus, also reduces/removes fluoride, and reduces/removes arsenic". The filter is a "0.2 micron filter, filled with a carbon based media, removes water-borne bacterium with an efficiency which exceeds NSF standards. " While it says that the filter is filled with a carbon-based media, it's probably not a complete substitute for activated charcoal filtration. I did some quick research last night and saw some very simple charcoal filter system ideas. So, what do you think of this idea? I just add a third bucket in the middle. Filtered water would drip into my new charcoal bucket. I add this middle bucket that is filled with activated charcoal from an aquarium supply outfit. The filtered water from #1 would drip through the charcoal in #2 and then drip into #3. Would this work? What am I missing? [ATTACH=CONFIG]35463[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]35464[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
