I hope these become widely available. If the SHTF most deaths will occur from drinking contaminated water.
You can get ceramic filters from several prepper sites that use the same basic components as the Berkey systems for $30. I’ll post a link when I’m on a regular computer. You have to build it yourself and supply the buckets.
I’ve ordered 2. I plan to build one and see how well it works on the stream across from my house by having the before and after tested. If it isn’t perfect I’ll add iodine to the list for extra safety.
Just what I was thinking. If the price becomes reasonable, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to stock up with some of these in case there’s a major power outage or other threats to the water supply. A lot less trouble than rooms full of bottled water.
