Here is another efficient ceramic water filter. This gravity filter has a hand-made terracotta base, which cools the water using natural convention.
We consider it metaefficient because: its has excellent filtration, and a very long filter life (years). Also, the terracotta doesn’t leach contaminants into the water, and it keeps the water cool without needing external energy.
It’s available from Epic for $139.

Are there waterfilters for sale?
In Brazil the water tastes awful so these filters help. Butu you need replace the inner filter every six months and that is expensive
Y meen the black one with wooden holder
I got mine online – https://hibrazilmarket.com/
This is the best water filter. I grew up having one. In the US the water tastes awfully and hurts my stomach. I could finally get the classic one – the whole filter is clay, no plastic parts.

I think this is the best approach to potable water filtration. All you need is a bit of space on the counter or near by. I have used this device in Kenya and consider to reuse it in Europe.
Mine is aluminium body, it also exist in “terra cotta”, but I think the stainless steel version is the best in term of sanitation.
Im brazilian , and the clay version keeps the temperature and freshness, something that the metal can’t do ! We came from clay and it’s perfect …

All house in Brazil have this filter and I don´t know why in US we don´t have it.
Brazilians know how to use water… no adding stuff…
I have a Terra Cotta Gravity Water Filter, and It’s really nice. It’s cheaper than other Water Filters and has a Long life.

I have made a homemade drinking water filter from 2 1/4 inch pvc
so far i used cotton balls, cotton face swabs and cotton batten from aquarium store to pre-filter in the pipe before it goes to the main GAC filter, i bought the GAC at walmart in their fish aquarium section and its larger than sand but smaller than gravel type.
IS this ok for a good drinking filter, and can you advise me whats best materials i can use ( should the type of GAC be small sand like size>)
TY
It´s spanish “botijo” an old recipient to keep cool water
Does anyone know if they can be bought on the west coast? (to avoid that big shipping bill)
Does anyone have one of these? How is the taste of the filtered water?
I drank water from earthen gravity filters all my life. It’s always cool and has a very light mountain-creek-water aftertaste. Perfect for delicate hot drinks such as good tea and good coffee.
