From Green to Clean: Planning Our Ultimate Canal Water Filtertration | Ep 404
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkl0_R0LT6deoJjS4bNanmw?sub_confirmation=1
Ever looked at the canal and wondered if you could actually drink it? In this video, we're tackling that exact question by planning and designing the ultimate water purification system to turn murky canal water into safe, crystal-clear drinking water right on my narrowboat.
We break down the science behind a complete filtration and sterilisation process. We're going way beyond a simple camping filter to design a robust system that can handle everything from silt and algae to invisible chemical contaminants, bacteria, and viruses. This is the complete blueprint for true water independence on the cut. Whether you're a fellow boater, living the van life, or just curious about off-grid living, this is the deep dive you've been looking for.
