Here is another efficient ceramic water filter. This gravity filter has a hand-made terra cotta base, which cools the water using natural convention.
We consider metaefficient because: its has excellent filtration, and a very long filter life (years). Also, the terra cotta doesn’t leach contaminants into the water, and it keeps the water cool without needing external energy.
It’s available from Water Savers for $139.

Does anyone have one of these? How is the taste of the filtered water?
Does anyone know if they can be bought on the west coast? (to avoid that big shipping bill)

Ty good information !
I have made a homemade drinking water filter from 2 1/4 inch pvc
so far i used cotton balls, cotton face swabs and cotton batten from aquarium store to pre-filter in the pipe before it goes to the main GAC filter, i bought the GAC at walmart in their fish aquarium section and its larger than sand but smaller than gravel type.
IS this ok for a good drinking filter, and can you advise me whats best materials i can use ( should the type of GAC be small sand like size>)
TY
