Kin Filter

The Kin half-micron filter removes water-borne bacterium with a 0.5 micron efficiency which exceeds NSF standards.

Ceramic Filter Features:

The ceramic filter can be cleaned with a soft brush at least 100 times, and it produces 14 gallons of drinking water per day. This system includes a ceramic filter, filter sock, and spigot.

Simply double stack two clean five gallon buckets with lids, drill a 1/2″ hole in the bottom of the top bucket and through the top of the bottom buckets lid, place sock over filter and install it in the bottom of the top bucket. Drill a 3/4″ hole on the side and near the bottom of the bottom bucket and install the spigot. Fill the top bucket with water from a lake, rain, tap, river or stream and in an hour you will have bacteria free water to drink in the bottom bucket.

  • Easy Installation
  • Good flow rate / Up to 1 gallon of clean water per hour (gravity flow)
  • Up to 300 gallons per hour (pressure flow)
  • Filter will accept water from floods, lake, rain, well, tap, river or stream
  • Semi/Annual filter replacement Cleansable with clean damp cloth
  • Shelf life is extended by shaking filter every 3-4 months to loosen media inside and prevent packing
  • Once in use, filter will last 6-8 months

Filter Technologies:

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.
