WaFilTer

Details

The WaFilTer is going to be composed of two main parts. Each of the two parts are going to be contain in a 5 liter bucket.

The first part is going to be for the different types of filters. Those following elements are the different filters: a carbon filter, fine sand, filter cartridges, pool filter (which will be between the two parts).

The second part is going to be for the UV lamp the LED.

After all we are going to press over the first part to force the water to flow down.

The clean water is going to drop from the bottom of the second bucket into a glass.

Then we will just have to drink it and taste it... :)

Components

1 × Sand for pool filtration (fine sand) Sand 25 kg for pool filtration. Particle size 0.5 to 2 mm. Compatible with most sand filters. Check the minimum particle size.

1 × Intex Type A Filter Cartridge for Pools Easy to clean Dacron fiber material

1 × MAXTRA filter cartridges The MAXTRA cartridge improves tap water by reducing tartar, chlorine and certain materials such as lead.

We finalized our project with the final presentation's PowerPoint edition!
Tests Results
WaFilTer • 05/12/2017 at 14:39 • 0 comments

We made several tests to confirm or discover the role of the components within the filter:
The main test is to see if we can have "drinkable" water from a very salty water. We used the sand, carbon filter and a basic filter like a coffee filter.
After many try, we reached to some conclusions witch are:
the sand is filtering the salty but it's not very effective but it has the advantage to clear the water
the carbon is filtering the salt more than the sand but the water taste a bit weird after being filtred
The coffee filter is only useful to contain the sand and the carbon from being in the water
To conclude to two filter are complimentary to filter the salt and clear the water but the result after only one filtering is not very effective but with multiples filtering we can feel at the taste and from visual that the filter is working (in a restricted manner)
