Plan to purify your water right after a fresh Crockpot cook where your Crockpot is still hot.
Equipment
- 1 Crockpot
- 3 Coffee Filters

Instructions
- Plan to purify your water right after a fresh Crockpot cook where your Crockpot is still hot.
- Remove the contents of your pot and clean your pot. If you have a partner in this process, then you'll be able to filter the water while the Crockpot is getting prepped for water purification.
- Contain your water in an easy to pour container that doesn't leak.
- Fold your coffee filter twice and place it over the opening of the bottle.
- Carefully pour your water into your other water gallon container.
- Repeat two more times with a new coffee filter each time.
- Set your Crockpot to the highest setting and immediately pour in your water.
- Cover your Crockpot with the lid and wait 15 to 60 mins. Once your water reaches a boil, most pathogens have been killed and most debris has already been pre-filtered by your coffee filters.
