This system compares to the expensive Big Berkey system for way less money. You can order the kit (filter, spigot, filter sock) for $38 and get your own 5-6 gallon buckets or order it as a full set. They developed this for 3rd world countries. They also have water bottles, hydration backpacks, etc. Call Flat Fish for info: 682-233-4740. For this price you can use them as gifts for family! I got this a few years ago when it was mentioned on this site but they have come out with a new model that filters viruses, fluoride, and arsenic too!

Here is info I collected:
HOW FILTERS WORK
Product is silver impregnated and will not permit bacteria growth-through (mitosis). It provides a hostile environment for all microbiological organisms and will not support their growth.
WHAT IT REMOVES
99.999% Bacteria Removal Virus Reduction/Removal
The filtration efficiency is 0.2 micron.
Capable of filtering arsenic, lead, fluoride, iron and nitrates (special order)
FILTER FEATURES
Certified by Ceutical Labs, FDA Registered Laboratory
Easy installation
Cost effective
Accepts water from floods, lake, rain, well, tap, river or stream
Unlimited shelf life
Once in use, filter will last 1 year
FILTER FLOW
Good flow rate -
Up to 1 gallon of clean water per hour (gravity flow)
FILTER MAINTENANCE
Ceramic elements may be cleaned 100 or more times with a soft brush or damp cloth.
Annual/semi-annual filter replacement
Cleans with clean, damp cloth
A low-cost solution to clean drinking water! Whether you need clean drinking water in your garage or you are preparing for the worst, this is a great solution for ensuring you and your loved ones have clean drinking water in any situation.
Ceramic Filtration is very effective; however it is also very expensive. Berkey systems can cost you over $300. This filter uses the same filtration technology, and has actually outperformed the Berkey filtration system, but it's only a fraction of the cost. It is portable and simple to use. It can be easily broken down for storage.
This system is a must have for every family. We can survive weeks without food, but only a few days without water. Most food storage requires water in order to cook it.
This filtration system will filter down to 0.5 microns. The ceramic is impregnated with silver in order to prevent bacterial growth. It makes this system ideal for camping, hunting, food storage and emergency prepardness. Even if you store a lot of water....what happens when you run out? 50-100 gallons of stored water will only last a typical family a couple of months.
Make with brand new food grade 5 gallon pails with new O-ring gasket lids.
A 5 gallon system will produce 14 - 17 gallons per day. This is more than enough to comfortably sustain a family of 4 - 5 with clean drinking water.
SPECS:
Product is manufactured to meet:
National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) Standard 42
National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) Standard 53
iso 9002 Quality Standard
usa ael Laboratories
usa Analytical Food Laboratories
usa Johns Hopkins University
British 5750 Quality Standard
Englands Water Research council (WRc) Performance Standards
The filtration efficiency is 0.5 micron
PERFORMANCE FEATURES:
Easy installation
Good flow rate / 14 to 17 gallons a day (gravity flow)
Up to 60-70 gallons per day (pressure flow)
Filter will accept water from floods, lake, rain, well, tap, river or stream.
Semi/Annual filter replacement
Ceramic elements may be cleaned 100 or more times with a soft brush or damp cloth.
Shelf life is extended by shaking filter every 3-4 months to loosen media inside and prevent packing.
Once in use, filter will last 6-8 months
CAUTION: Please handle the ceramic filter by the plastic base and NOT by the ceramic.
