Local tap is dubious at best and leaded at worst so we fill 5gallon jugs at a filter station the next town over. I’m getting tired of transporting and paying for water, so I’d like to make a filter that won’t just clog up with hard water in a week. Anyone have recommendations on where to start?

Scroll down for the 300L treatment. This can be modified to be smaller in diameter, not depth (sand should be about 400mm deep). Pre-filter, slow sand filter, biochar filter, drinking water in that order.
Now that, that’s something I can do. That’s something I can do really quickly.
