Ceramic Water Filters

I made my own water filter and you can see how here: http://livingprepared.blogspot.com/2011/01/gravity-fed-safe-drinking-water-filter.html

There is far too much bad survival information on the web, especially when it comes to the all important fresh, pure water for your survival.

I thought I would post the ceramic filter manufacturer’s website for the cramic filters I used in my filter. So if you want to make your own filter or simply know more about them, then what better source is there than the manufacturers! Below are a few paragraphs from their site. There is much more ‘factual’ information there. Check it out and be informed.


Company Statement:

WHY USE DRINKING WATER FILTERS?
Two thirds of the human body is water. Therefore, it is vital that the water we drink is clean and free from the potentially harmful contaminants, which commonly find their way into drinking water supplies. The simplest, most effective, low-cost way to ensure that drinking water is of the highest standard is to use a drinking water filter incorporated into a home water filtration system.
