Is there a way to build and maintain your own water filter for home use? Talking about drinking water.

You could build a diatomaceous earth filter. https://water.mecc.edu/exam_prep/DiatomaceousEarth.htm

Regarding RO filters, generic versions are available on eBay for not much money. A 5 stage unit can be purchased for a bit over $100. Even if you put together your own PVC, you would need the sediment filter, carbon filter and RO membrane cartridge.

I have these behind the house filter and the softener in two houses. I change the cartridges every couple years.

Sounds interesting and I'll look into that, thanks
