Big Berkey: new filter system modification....a try at video!

There isn't much elbow room in a shipping container or a teardrop trailer. But, who needs elbow room when you have the great outdoors as your living room? That said, when it comes to mobility, space becomes a commodity that rapidly vanishes. In looking at the 5 gallon bucket system I currently use for water filtration / storage, I believed the setup could be made with a significantly smaller footprint and more portable at the same time. The following videos illustrate what I came up with. Yes, the videos suck, but you'll get the idea.

I currently use the 3" one gallon model for batch production in my home. I completed the smaller 2.5" one liter model today and plan to use it as a travel / camping / Montello filter setup.

(Note to self: hold the camera the other way)
