Subj : Gravity-operated water filter?
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
From: tmorrow@oracle.com (Tom Morrow)
>Does anyone know of a gravity-operated water filter? Or if it's possible

I just got a First Need filter that came with some little hoses and
connectors that are designed to convert it into a gravity-fed unit
(The nylon bag that it comes with is lined with a disposable plastic
bag, which holds the water over the filter.)
I got mine in a package with the filter for $40 or $50 (I can't
remember which), at REI.
But for your purposes, you might want larger capacity than the little
nylon bag. All you have to do is remove the filter from the pump
assembly and run a rubber hose from your water supply above into the
filter on top. If you have a large enough water supply, you won't
have to worry about priming the pump.
