Sure, it is more suitable for emergency cases, but considering this method works well, we\u2019ll add it to our list either way. What will you need?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this method, you\u2019ll be straining water through apparel, which could be a bandana or a shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use the bandana to cover the top of a container, use a small rope to tie it, and then pour the water over it. Then, allow the water to sit for a couple of minutes and proceed to move it into another container. If possible, boil the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Gravity_Filter\"><\/span>A Gravity Filter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Surprisingly enough, the gravity filters are quite efficient at filtering water. To create your own, you\u2019ll need nothing more than a pair of bags that you\u2019ll connect using a hose. Once you put water in one, place it at an elevated location to get the water to drain to the clean bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This method will not require that you carry around uncomfortable filters or tablets to purify the water. Even then, you should know that it is not perfect; Using these gravity filters gets rid of bacteria, but it doesn\u2019t guarantee virus-free water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n\n            \n            \n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal\"  data-aawp-product-asin=\"B00O5596AG\" data-aawp-product-id=\"1835\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"tcbamboo-20\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Katadyn Gravity 6L Water Filter Fast Flow Easy to Use for Personal or Small Group Camping Backpacking or Emergency Preparedness\" data-aawp-geotargeting=\"true\" data-aawp-click-tracking=\"asin\">\n\n    \n    <div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00O5596AG?tag=tcbamboo-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"Katadyn Gravity 6L Water Filter, Fast Flow, Easy to Use for Personal or Small Group Camping,...\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/31pe4kPR0PL._SL160_.jpg\" alt=\"Katadyn Gravity 6L Water Filter, Fast Flow, Easy to Use for Personal or Small Group Camping,...\" title=\"\">\n        <\/a>\n\n            <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00O5596AG?tag=tcbamboo-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"Katadyn Gravity 6L Water Filter, Fast Flow, Easy to Use for Personal or Small Group Camping,...\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            Katadyn Gravity 6L Water Filter, Fast Flow, Easy to Use for Personal or Small Group Camping,...        <\/a>\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n            <ul><li>6 liter bag with water level indicator window<\/li><li>0.2 micron Ultra Flow Filter Technology has a flow rate up to 2L\/min<\/li><\/ul>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__footer\">\n\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__pricing\">\n            \n            \n                    <\/div>\n\n                <a class=\"aawp-button aawp-button--buy aawp-button aawp-button--amazon aawp-button--icon aawp-button--icon-black\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00O5596AG?tag=tcbamboo-20&#038;linkCode=ogi&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1\" title=\"Check Price On Amazon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Check Price On Amazon<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"UV_Treatment\"><\/span>UV Treatment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you weren\u2019t aware, ultraviolet lamps are capable of killing bacteria and viruses.

In most cases, the tap is a safe water source from where you can drink directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you have to keep some things in mind. For example, drinking directly from the water source is not always a good decision. Be completely sure it won\u2019t make you sick before attempting it. If you\u2019re not sure, it would be better to leave it be instead of putting yourself at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Filtering_Water_Using_Charcoal\"><\/span>Filtering Water Using Charcoal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The next filtering system is more elaborate and requires more effort than the previous ones. Also, with the next steps, you\u2019ll be able to filter water in case of an emergency if there\u2019s no electricity in the house. Let\u2019s get into it then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Preparing_the_Charcoal\"><\/span>1. Preparing the Charcoal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>First, you\u2019ll need some charcoal. Surprisingly enough, charcoal works as an outstanding water filter. To get it, you need to build a wood fire, and then leave it alone until it burns out entirely. Throw ashes and dirt to cover it, and wait a couple of hours before getting it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the charred wood cools off, proceed to break it into smaller pieces. After you finish, you\u2019ll have successfully created charcoal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Observation<\/strong>: Creating charcoal through this method is very primitive. You could get the charcoal from the store to save the time you&#8217;d spend doing all of these steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Setting_up_the_Containers\"><\/span>2. Setting up the Containers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll need to prepare two containers, one for the top, and another one for the bottom. On the top container, create a small hole in its base to work as a filter. Then, place a cloth in the top container to cover the filtration hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After covering the hole with the cloth, place the charcoal over the cloth and tie it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea is that the water should drip through the charcoal, slowly. If the water comes through too fast, you\u2019ll have to repeat the process adding more charcoal.<br>Also, you could use another cloth with pebbles and sand to cover the first layer with the charcoal. This new layer will prevent the charcoal from mixing with the water. Grass and leaves would do the trick too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finish up by placing the top container with the charcoal and other items over the bottom container, which will receive the filtered water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Filter_the_Water\"><\/span>3. Filter the Water<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When the two containers are set up, proceed to pour the water into the top container. You\u2019ll see it drip through the filtering system slowly as it falls into the bottom container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re filtering a large amount of water, make sure to replace the top materials periodically. Sand will often retain microbes that aren\u2019t safe to drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll have to repeat these steps a couple more times before it completely removes the particles. Do it as many times as possible until you\u2019re sure the water is good to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/waterfilterly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/water-pours-out-of-the-tap-modern-bathroom-interio-PBH8HRP-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"What Is The Best Way To Naturally Filter Tap Water\" class=\"wp-image-4909\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/waterfilterly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/water-pours-out-of-the-tap-modern-bathroom-interio-PBH8HRP-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/waterfilterly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/water-pours-out-of-the-tap-modern-bathroom-interio-PBH8HRP-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/waterfilterly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/water-pours-out-of-the-tap-modern-bathroom-interio-PBH8HRP-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/waterfilterly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/water-pours-out-of-the-tap-modern-bathroom-interio-PBH8HRP.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/waterfilterly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/water-pours-out-of-the-tap-modern-bathroom-interio-PBH8HRP-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/waterfilterly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/water-pours-out-of-the-tap-modern-bathroom-interio-PBH8HRP-788x525.jpeg 788w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Words\"><\/span>Final Words<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though some of the methods described above may not seem necessary, you never know when you may need them.
