Product is silver impregnated and will not permit bacteria growth-through (mitosis). It provides a hostile environment for all microbiological organisms and will not support their growth. Ceramic elements may be cleaned 100 or more times with a soft brush or damp cloth. The filtration efficiency is 0.5 micron.
Easy installation
Good flow rate - up to 1 gallon of clean water per hour (gravity flow)
Up to 300 gallons per hour (pressure flow)
Accepts water from floods, lake, rain, well, tap, river or stream
Annual/semi-annual filter replacement
Cleans with clean, damp cloth
Extend shelf life by shaking filter every 3-4 months (to loosen media inside and prevent packing)
Once in use, filter will last 6-8 months
Capable of filtering arsenic, lead, fluoride, iron and nitrates (special order)

A Problem and a Solution
People caught in a disaster-devastated area always need clean water. By clean we mean without bacteria—the little unseen critters that make people sick with diseases like Cholera. Without it, they cannot maintain their health and strength and they cannot begin recovery.
At READY we are very aware of the importance of potable water. We have travel to impoverished or war-torn parts of the world and into places wrecked by natural disasters.
To provide clean, drinkable water to these areas, we initiated the development of a practical, inexpensive, but very effective, ceramic water filter.
It’s a ceramic, half-micron water filter. The micron removes water-borne bacterium. The inside of the filter is loaded with different media or ingredients, such as man-made carbons, mother nature carbons and man-made resins. Those different resins and carbons remove the different contaminants in the water.
Simple Design
Assembling the READY DIY Emergency Ceramic Filter does not require printed instructions or even the ability to speak the local language. Individuals only have to watch someone put this water filter together to learn how to do it.
Nor does the assembly call for any unusual or hard-to-find tools. This is the simplest form of water filtration that you could have. It’s extremely simple to use and maintain. Easy-to-use was one of our main goals. Every time we design a filter system - small or large - simplicity has to be part of that design, or it’s just a waste of time and money.
“I say jokingly but seriously: If an MIT student likes our filter, the people who need it will never learn how to use it!”
Easy Assembly
Putting the READY DIY Emergency Ceramic Filter to use only requires two plastic, same-size containers with lids and a knife or some other tool that will cut a hole in plastic.
It’s a two-bucket system, one mounted atop the other. The buckets or containers must be plastic, but they can be almost any size — two-gallon, five-gallon or ten-gallon. Size doesn’t really matter. You can even travel all over the world with two plastic Folgers coffee cans if you need an extremely portable solution.
Assembly begins by cutting two holes: one in the bottom of the top bucket and one in the lid of the bottom bucket. The filter is then centered in the top bucket, with its stem going through the hole. That stem is threaded, so it can be secured with a wing nut.
The top bucket is then mounted atop the bottom bucket, with the filter stem going through the hole in the lid of the bottom bucket.
When you put water in the top bucket, it passes through the filter, into the hollow stem and drips into the bottom bucket.

Accessories
READY DIY Emergency Ceramic Filters are developed using a pre-filter sock and a spigot.
The sock, which fits over and protects the filter, can be secured with a rubber band. It’s used in areas with extremely turbid water that has contaminants such as fish scales or fecal matter. And the spigots provide a handy, easily installed faucet.
Testing
The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, as well as other laboratories have tested the filter system and found it very effective in filtering all bacteria from laboratory test water.
