Snow melt and homemade charcoal filter...

think this will work? Any thoughts would be appreciated...

Homemade charcoal

whats going on here?

get a panasonic whisperline and a phresh filter and call it a day. get a filter slightly more cfm than your fan.

i don't think your setup will do anything but look silly. could be wrong though i am open to hear what your theory is behind this setup.

It's just charcoal in a hash bag. Dump the snow melt through the bag into my container.

Doesn't charcoal filter out anything bad that could be in the snow?

unless ur grabbing dirty snow it should be as clean as rain

Is your available water supply so bad you have to resort to this?

I take clean very clean snow thst tests 8ppm and put it into big 18 gal Rubbermaid containers let it melt fill it more etc etc etc. Definitely beats buying distilled water for $1 a gallon. Only nice thing I like about the winter.

Those look pretty industrial. Can you get them with an AC powercord or only with bare leads?

you cannot get them with a power cord attached. however it takes a couple dollars and about 1 minute to fix.

It's pretty clean but idk isn't their pollutants that get caught in the snow from the air?

I mean I'm not saying my water won't work just trying new things.

The tiny amounts of "pollutants" in snow/ rainfall are practically unmeasurable and, would almost certainly be filtered out going through whatever soil/soilless media you choose. Also, the plant(s) would extract only what is needed through their vascular system. Unless you simply prefer extra work, this entire exercise seems pretty pointless.

Ok thanks man
