DIY water filter 5 gallon bucket

I don't know if this was posted before or how I found it, but here is a DIY for a 5 gallon bucket converted into a water filter:

I think I found it while researching water harvesting setups.

Enjoy.

Cool! Might make a fun project for Zombiecon.

I always knew how these things worked, but this no BS manual for doing a quality one with easy to find materials pushed me over the edge...I think I'll try one of these over the next few paydays. Thanks for sharing!
