My setup ain't pretty, and the slightest nudge will tip over and have soggy charcoal all over the counter. But that only hapened once and i figured out its better to remove the carbon and set it down somewhere before moving the jugs. So anyway you can rig it up which ever way works for you. You can make the flow faster and add a mesh to catch the carbon and that way you can fill up a container fast. You only have to wash the carbon once... not every time you need a drink of water LOL.. come on now. And yes, it takes a while to get all the dust out. Maybe 10 - 15 minutes.. NOT 2 hours. Just rinse and pour out repeat in a pot until the water runs clear. and you are good to go for 6 months at least maybe longer. I am VERY happy with the results. The nice thing about this system is that once the containers are filled, the carbon dries out and sits away in the corner until ready for reuse. In the filter housing, the filters just sit there in stagnant water getting slimy residue on the plastic washers.. yuck.. Buy this and set up your own system. You will be happy you did
