Homestead Water Filtration and Supply. The water system is OFF GRID! Steve’s back on the Homestead and we’re going to check the water system. He gives us an overview of how the water system works from the spring to the holding tanks. Then once we are back in the house, he explains a bit about how the water is filtered into the house and demonstrates how easy it can be to change the water filter on your homestead. This water system acts all without ELECTRICITY. Truly offgrid water filtration.

On today’s episode of Duck River Homestead, we install a whole house water filtration system, or a whole homestead water filtration system.
We’re using a trio of 4.5 x 20 filters that help ensure our drinking water is safe and tastes great. The 4.5 x 20 sediment filter, 4.5 x 20 carbon filter, and 4.5 x 20 iron and manganese filters.
Here’s to clean drinking water, and no rust rings in our showers and toilets!

Replacing a filter in an under-sink mounted water filtration system is an easy fix and a task that needs to be performed regularly. In just a few minutes you can ensure you have cleaner, filtered water to drink from your tap.
This is a basic water filter. It’s a Whirlpool Model No. WHKF-DWH. The drop-in replacement filter is Model No. WHKF-GAC. Both the unit and the replacement filters are available at Lowe’s, for about $20 and $13, respectively.
The filter unit comes with a specially designed “wrench” that slips over the filter housing, aligning with the ridges manufactured into unit. A quick twist loosens the housing to remove the old filter and replace with a fresh one.
Again, this is a basic model. It filters out sediment and reduces or eliminates odors from water. It needs to be replaced every 6 months. I’ve gone longer than that and though I haven’t noticed any difference in the taste of the water I have seen a slight decrease in water pressure. A new filter resolves that issue.
It’s a quick fix for a simple unit. A more sophisticated (and expensive) unit is really a better bet, but as a first-line pre-filtration system, it’s a good value.
This is a whole home water filtration and purification board I built to purify rainwater. Enjoy:)
