Clay Water Filters for Poor Nations and Communities

Potters for Peace and other organizations are producing clay pot water filters that can turn contaminated and polluted water into 99.9 percent pure water that is safe to drink

Essentially, a clay pot or filter is formed with a mix of fifty percent clay and fifty percent sawdust.  When the clay pot is fired the sawdust is burned up leaving small holes and paths for water to seep through.  This filters out most foreign matter.  The pot is coated with colloidal silver.  The silver kills bacterial and viruses the pot is put into a larger container that catches the clean water seeping out of the clay pot.

These filters are inexpensive, can often be made locally and are extremely effective changing polluted water into water that is safe to drink.  The result is the reduction or elimination of most water borne illnesses.  This can help people in poor areas live much longer healthier lives.
