Energy-efficient sterilization-UV and Berkey Water Purifier Update
May 16th, 2009The message was presented by “Steve Spence”
(1) Update on cistern growth problem, Energy-efficient sterilization, UV
A berkey water filter with filter out E. coli, and pretty much anything else you can find in raw water.
We use one for rain and river water.
(2) North Country Energy Fair
We had a great time at the North Country Energy Fair. We had about 20 people attend our “DIY Solar class”, 10 at our “Make your own biodiesel” class, and about 50 attend the off-grid water pumping and filtration class we presented with a panel of 4 others, including Jim Juczak of Woodhenge and Rob Roy of Earthwood. Rich Douglas covered wind pumping, Jim covered deep well hand pumps, I covered filtration, John covered solar pumps and Luke Martin covered well buckets. Rob’s presentation covered pedal powered piston pumps. We gave about 30 rides on our E-Zip electric bike, and everyone had a lot of fun with it. Our DIY
Berkey Water Purifier was a big hit, as was the Nature’s Head composting toilet, and the MRSA and Swine flu resistant cleaning products. Tom Leue presented his Yellowheat veggie furnace.
