I built a cheap Berkey style water filter for my high desert homestead

DIY water filter course. Step by step instructions, part list, blog, and other resources
I have lived off grid in the high desert of Arizona nearly three years now. Safe drinking water is paramount but I'm too frugal to spend $300 and unlimited expensive Berkey replacement filters when I can make my own filter for $70 and continue to make filtration substrate for free. Not only is this filter less than 1/3 the cost it will last about 6x as long. It's completely sustainable too!
