Simple water filtration process.

In the plastic cup start by lining the bottom with the coffee filters. We looked in the garden for three things that might make good filters and chose large stones small stones and sand.

Slide a new jar under the filter then pour the filtered water back over the gravel. Simple water filtration clean your own dirty water. Filtration systems a water filter is a device which removes impurities from water by means of a physical barrier chemical and or biological process. Today we tried something a little different.

Then place a layer of clean sand followed by a layer of gravel. We ve tried a filtering experiment using dirty water before using kitchen roll as the filter.

Contaminants filtration this process use mix media filters like sand gravel and granular activated carbon gac to get rid of contaminants bad taste and odor. Once the water stops dripping take the jar out from under the filter. You may need to repeat the filtering process two or three times before the water runs clear. In this practical you will attempt to treat your own dirty water make qualitative observations of the results at various stages and then suggest improvements.

Raw water is first collected in large aeration tank and the water is aerated by bubbling compressed air through perforated pipes.
