Making a sediment filter for my spring fed water system

For my Spring Hill campground I have a watering system that is collected from a spring. It can deliver pressurized water without pumps using elevation to create pressure. There has been a fair amount of sediment getting into the system. Today I am creating a sediment filter with a 5 gallon buck, some pvc pipe and a pool filter cartridge. Here is the link to a video on gathering the water. • Water system completed...
Thanks for joining me on the ‪@FlanaganHomestead‬

Base camp wnc yourube channel has many great videos on spring development FYI helped me out a ton when I did mine

After the first mouse falls in that bucket you will make one with a lid!

[@FlanaganHomestead]

I see your point

[@striperswiper1]

@@FlanaganHomestead there is something about mice and buckets of water. It is like a magnet.

Keep it up. You are doing great. Nice content and great clear instructions.

[@FlanaganHomestead]

Thank you.

[@ahmadmolla2822]

Thanks! Gave me a way around my situation.

Will you please show the supply list I need to make this?

[@lorettasimms1961]

So sand, silt, leaves, sticks all have microbes on them and bacteria grows. So this is filtered for big stuff but still not safe to drink.

[@FlanaganHomestead]

Had it tested. Safe to drink.

[@BobBob-il2ku]

Consider spray painting or buying a cover for the IBC tote otherwise it might grow Algae over time.

[@FlanaganHomestead]

Thank you. That is a good suggestion.

How is the sediment filter working now after a couple of years?

[@frankhamel6622]

where did you get those larger filters/cartridges ?? what diameter is the hole in the middle / your pipe that you drilled holes into?

[@FlanaganHomestead]

I ordered the filters off Amazon. They are a regular pool filter. 1 inch diameter hole if my memory is correct

[@DougKalmer]

Good video, you gave me some ideas for my situation. Can you give me the filter link?

Two things: 1: should have turned the bucket upside down and drilled the hole from the outside. 2: i rhink that filter is/was designed to be completely submerged, but your system only has the bottom quarter or third of it submerged. Maybe instead drill the hole in the bucket up high on the side and place the end cap on the bottom. At the top end of the filter, a 90° elbow that then runs the pipe out through the side. The bucket will fill up and submerge the filter. Hope my 2¢ makes sense. (Or cents) 😂

[@FlanaganHomestead]

Thanks for your two cents

[@shep6123]

Lego put a lid on top that’s what I would do
