In the spirit of DIY/OSS here, I think ideally you’d want to emulate something like a Berkey water filter, these are basically just steel tanks with large threaded cylindrical charcoal filters (2” diameter, ~10” long) that use gravity to pull the water from the top to the bottom.
A simple 3D printed housing filled with some charcoal/carbon media to trickle filter like a Brita would be interesting to see its effectiveness.
- tk75x 6y agoAt my parents house, we set up a whole-house water filtration system by repurposing water softeners. empty the guts of one, refill with aquarium supply activated carbon, then adjust the electronics to your liking and you're good to go. Those systems are designed to run 24/7 and soften/filter all the water going into your house.
