Economy Make Your Own Gravity Water Filter

There is a growing demand for inexpensive filters, and in many cases people cannot get standard containers such as stainless steel. The solution is the Make Your Own Gravity Filter package. You purchase two food-grade plastic containers with covers locally (you choose the size), order a spigot filter package, and drill a few holes following JMCC’s easy-to-follow instructions. You can make filters from 1 to 50 gallons or larger.

What is included

• Spigot + 4 Elements: a stainless steel spigot and 4 JMCC “HI” water filter elements.
• Spigot + 8 Elements: a stainless steel spigot and 8 JMCC “HI” water filter elements.

Containers are sourced locally and are not included.

Good to know

• Filter flow rate is about 2 gallons per hour per HI filter element, so calculate the number of elements you need.
• Spigots are 304 stainless steel for a lifetime of service and will not corrode in any environment.
• The stainless steel spigot has a different (larger) port size than standard plastic gravity filter spigots. It will not fit a standard gravity water filter housing and is only for “Make Your Own” filters.
• The HI elements in the package are the same elements JMCC sells for any make or model of gravity water filter.

Ideal if you are on a budget, have a remote cabin, are traveling abroad, or cannot source stainless steel filter containers. Relief and quantity orders are available; contact JMCC.
