Abstract
The present invention discloses systems and methods for purifying non-potable water. For some embodiments, the system comprises a chemical filter placed at an outlet where potable water exits the system.
Claims8
A system, comprising:
- a five (5) gallon upper bucket, comprising:
- a substantially circular removable lid for covering the upper bucket;
- a substantially circular bottom with a bottom center;
- a bottom coupling hole located substantially at the bottom center;
- an adapter for affixing through the bottom coupling hole, the adapter comprising a barbed coupler;
- and
- a one (1) micrometer (μm) string filter for affixing to the adapter;
- and
- a five (5) gallon lower bucket for mechanically coupling to the upper bucket, the lower bucket comprising:
- a substantially circular removable top with a top center, the top center for aligning substantially with the bottom center;
- a top coupling hole located substantially at the top center, the top coupling hole for affixing the barbed coupler therein;
- a substantially cylindrical side wall separating an inside of the lower bucket from an outside of the lower bucket, the substantially cylindrical side wall comprising:
- an upper section;
- and
- a lower section;
- an outlet hole in the lower section, the outlet hole forming a channel between the inside of the lower bucket and the outside of the lower bucket;
- and
- an activated carbon filter for affixing to the inside of the lower bucket at the outlet hole;
- and
- a spigot for affixing to outside of the lower bucket at the outlet hole.

A system comprising:
- an upper container, comprising:
- a bottom;
- a bottom coupling hole located in the bottom;
- an adapter for affixing through the bottom coupling hole;
- and
- a turbidity filter for operatively coupling to the adapter;
- and
- a lower container for mechanically coupling to the upper container, the lower container comprising:
- a top;
- a top coupling hole located in the top, the adapter operatively coupled to the top coupling hole;
- a side wall separating an inside of the lower container from an outside of the lower container, the side wall comprising:
- an upper section;
- and
- a lower section;
- an outlet hole in the lower section, the outlet hole forming a channel between the inside of the lower container and the outside of the lower container;
- and
- a chemical filter for affixing to the inside of the lower container at the outlet hole;
- and
- a spigot for affixing to the outside of the lower container at the outlet hole.
