Water Filter Group Buy
We have managed to put together an INCREDIBLE deal for our readers! First, let’s talk quickly about why this is important. It doesn’t matter how many preps you have if you can’t provide safe, clean water. There are lots of filtering solutions out there. Many of them are very (almost prohibitively) expensive. There are several that are questionable as to whether they would actually provide you with safe drinking water. There are also many that just aren’t capable of filtering enough water per day to adequately support your family. So, what factors do we need to consider to determine whether a filter solution is adequate for our families? First, you have to consider the size of the filter - not how big it is, but how small the holes are that actually filter. The minimum size for filter pores to ensure all bacteria are removed is .2 microns. Anything larger than that will allow bacteria into your drinking water. Second, the minimum daily consumption is typically considered to be 1 gallon per person. This is for consumption only. For sanitation and cooking purposes - 4-7 gallons per person is considered to be the recommended requirement. To calculate how many gallons per day you need for your family, simply calculate: Number of People X Gallons = Gallons per day For my family of ten, this means that I need 40 - 70 gallons. Third, consider storage and portability. Having a huge double tanker takes up a lot of room. With a build it yourself solution such as this, you have the option of storing the parts to make your filter until you need them. Let’s get on to the group buy. We have secured for our readers an excellent deal on ceramic filters that are .2 microns. The system enables you to build a filtering container out of 2 5 gallon storage buckets. There are 2 packages we’re able to offer - a 1 filter system and a 3 filter system. Each system comes with the requisite filters plus a 1 micron filter cover, that helps keep your filter from becoming clogged by big junk, and a spigot - along with all the hardware to install them. To build the filter, you need a 1/2 and 3/4 inch spade bit and a drill. The 1 filter kit costs 65.00 Why do you need the 3 filter kit? You can fit 3 of these filters in the bottom of your 5 gallon filtering bucket. With 1 filter, you process about 1 gallon every 6 hours. With 3 filters (each one is filtering at 1 gallon per 6 hours) you are able to process closer to 3 gallons every 6 hours. Thus, the 3 filter kit gives you the ability to process about 12 gallons per 24 hours. If you take your total (gallons your need per day) from the previous calculation and divide it by 12, you’ll know how many 3 filter kits you will need to provide enough water for your family each day.
