I know it is not the smallest on the market, but it is better then nothing. Chemical addition or boiling the water should kill whatever is in it. I have used this filter setup for the last 3 years and even took one with me to Iraq… Never had an issues. I think it is safe.

5 stars. Simple, effective, inexpensive.

It is important to note that bleach has a shelf life. Replacing water treatment bleach every 4 to 6 months is a good idea.

Good Tip!!! Thanks for being proactive!

Thanks for the information. That was very helpful

Glad I could help. Could ot find it on the web so I went to the store(needed some things any way) and looked it up and wrote it down. LOL

Nice job. Amazing how we think alike. I use a filter system much like yours except that yours is lighter and cheaper to make.

Thanks Hiram, I agree our thoughts are the same with a lot of projects. We build with what we have or what our minds eye sets in front of us.

Nice job on this! Will the Brita filter remove the cloudiness from the water, or would that plug it up too quickly? The spring runoff around here always has some sediment.

With cloudy or muddy water I try to use an extra bit of cloth in the top section to help remove the sediment to prolong the life of the filter. It cleans up the water very nicely.

Excellent Video.
I really like your filter.
