The Kisii Filter bucket has been developed in collaboration with the Rural Water Development (RWD) Project in Kisii, Western Kenya in 2003, as a response to the low quality of household water and water from springs and wells in that area.
This low cost technology was also very much appreciated in Nairobi, where most people boil the water from the tap. The Kisii bucket has become increasingly popular, as well in the rural areas as in the towns were people have water from the tap and many NGOs are now also promoting this simple system.
The specific idea of the “Kisii Filter Bucket” is to use low cost transparent PVC containers with a ceramic filter to compose a water filter system.
The upper bucket has a “standard” (normally available on the market) ceramic filter, the filtered water drips into the lower PVC bucket and can be used with a small tap. The lower bucket is well closed for safe storage.
