Today, one out of three people don’t have access to safe drinking water. And that’s the result of many things, but one of them is that 96.5% of that water is found in our oceans. It’s saturated with salt, and undrinkable. Most of the freshwater is locked away in glaciers or deep underground. Less than one percent of it is available to us. So why can’t we just take all that seawater, filter out the salt, and have a nearly unlimited supply of clean, drinkable water?

MULTI-FUNCTIONAL: The Crystal-Falls Tiered Water Filtration System is designed to filter and aerate water for Vivarium & Terrarium habitats occupied by Aquatic Turtles, Amphibians, Frogs, and Fish. In addition, the cover and ramp serve as basking surfaces, allowing for your pet to self-regulate their temperature.
INSPIRED BY NATURE: Without compromising form over function, the Crystal-Falls Tiered Water Filtration System features a cascading waterfall that enhances the beauty of any habitat. Furthermore, this system is constructed from safe and durable resin that’s scratch resistant.
CASCADE 170 INTERNAL FILTER: Comes with a Cascade 170 Internal / Submersible Filter (Model# CIF4) that is slightly modified for the Crystal-Falls Tiered Water Filtration System. The filter is suited for 10 Gallon Aquariums, and pumps water at 45 Gallons per Hour.
VERSATILE & RELIABLE: The Filtration System includes 2 replaceable Carbon Cartridges. While we offer a Two-Pack for replacements (Model# REP178), there is additional space inside for you to add your own filter media.
MEASUREMENTS: Overall – 7” (D) x 12” (L) x 6. 5” (H); Lid / Basking Platform – 5” x 5”; Ramp – 8. 5” x 4”; Waterfall Opening – 1” x 2”
Today I decided to rebuild my water filtration system that I used four or so years ago before I started drinking water direct from the stream. Many of these parts you can buy on ebay and whilst my specific filter may not be for sale (I do not know the brand either), there are others out there that with a little modification can be used in a similar way. This is potentially going to be my future collection device as it enables me to store the water in a larger quantity filtered and free of any harmful bacteria that might multiply when left standing at room temperature for a couple of days. Whilst my body has hardened over the years to be very resistant to anything the stream water might contain, by using this device it will render the water safe for me to share this amazing resource with others. Nothing beats taking a gentle stroll to the stream every day for my water and that connection to the sounds, smells and everything wild soothes and hydrates my body and mind as much as the water itself.
