* Video demonstration{{#ev: [http://youtuyoutube|XaaoZxqlSTk|200|right|Kisii water filter}}This is a very simple water filter for any type of water (from rivers, lake, ponds, rain, etc..) by putting one (or more) ceramic water filter candle in a small or large bucket. The filter has been first demonstrated and used in the Kisii Water Project in Western Kenya, by RWD (Rural Water Development Project of the Diocese of Kisii and Ngong) in 2003. Since that time many thousands have been made and are used by town and rural communities. Each ceramic candle can give about 20 liters of pure and safe drinking water per day. By putting more candles the total yield can be increased. Maintenance is simple, after a while (depends on the water quality) on the outside of the candle some dirt may accumulate and the candle needs to be cleaned with a fine brush, NOT with soap! Soap will clog the filter and stop it from working. The specific advantage is that the ceramic filter candles are cheap and often available as spare water filter candles for the more expensive systems from companies susch as Pozzani, Stefani and Berkely for instance.Any type of plastic bucket can be/XaaoZxqlSTk Kisii waterfilterused, simply by making a small hole in the lower part of the bucket. We do not recommend to use the cheaper ceramic filter candles that are manufactured in India because it is our experience that they start to leak at the connection, so they are not safe after a while. See also www.watsan.]org
