Looking to prepare a simple gravity fed non-pressurised water filter system for use in my home along similar lines to this:

I need to find the ceramic filters, the candle type with a screw-threaded nozzle at one end. There is only one candle available in Carrfour / Tesco, but it does not have silver impregnation nor carbon, its purely ceramic.

There are plenty of filters available for the pressurised houshold systems, but they don't have the screw thread and rubber gasket seals to allow attachement to a hole in a bucket...

Anyone know where these can be brought in Bangkok ? I think I need a shop that specialises in water filter systems

The German-made PURE brand has the silver and carbon and can be found at Tesco Lotus. They go for about 690 baht. I would use pre-filtered water with these (such as the delivered variety you can get for ~15B / 20 L bottle) or they won't last very long...

hi

seems like not easy to find that stuff.

I look for the same thing.

I found the katadyn.com Gravidyn filter, bu tshipping is very expensive and the filter is also not cheap.

They used it in Thailand: http://www.katadyn.com/sgen/service/news/d...used-to-combat/

anybody knows where to buy it here?
