Simple Water Filter Water is the source of life - Filter Air Bersih
Everyone uses it for various purposes, starting from cleaning clothes, cleaning household appliances, watering plants, as drinking water every day to processing food needs. However, more and more we are witnessing a reduction in the quality of the water we consume. Starting from dirty, dirty and even smelly water. In the long term, poor water quality will definitely make a loss for our body's health. But if the water problem that we encounter in the house is not so serious, for example the water in the house is not so clear, dirty, yellow, black, or smelly, we can purify it by making our own water filter made from palm fiber, sand, and some other materials. other.
How to make the filter is also quite easy.
Making a filter begins with making an arrangement of sand, fibers, activated charcoal, sand, and stone. The result... SERR... water that was originally dirty, yellow or even black plus smells once can become clear and odorless after going through this filter. With this simple filtration system, water that was originally inappropriate for us to consume can now be used again in everyday life.
The 3 containers can be in the form of barrels
drums, buckets or ties of plastic cans/bottles that act as sediment, filtration and clean water containers. Prepare the first place that acts to deposit dirt in the water. So that the road sedimentation process is prime, under this place we place the river stones. Under the first place, then we make a second place that serves to filter the water that comes out of the sediment.
In the 2nd place (filtration)
we enter the formation of the material that we have prepared initially. when sorted from the bottom, the arrangement is divided into an arrangement of small stones with a thickness of 15 cm, an arrangement of gravel with a thickness of 10 cm, an arrangement of coconut shell charcoal with a thickness of 15 cm (for charcoal we can increase the thickness to reduce the smell or can add an arrangement zeolite stone in it if the problems we encounter are quite heavy), the composition of soft sand with a thickness of 20 cm, the arrangement of fibers again with a thickness of 20 cm, soft sand with a thickness of 15 cm, and finally the top layer is the arrangement of fibers again with a thickness of 15 cm. From the top arrangement, we put the water from the sediment in it.
The water that then comes out of the following
arrangement is the filtration area and then we flow it to the 3rd place which acts as a container for clean water that has been filtered. This container fits right under the filtration tank. One thing that is important for us to recognize in the manufacture of this filter is that after the filter has been made, the water that first comes out of the filter can be said to be not very clear. Estimated time it takes for the water to become clear is about 10 minutes from the time the water was first placed.
In addition, we must also regulate and calculate
the debit of water that enters the sediment. This has the aim that the water from the sediment discharge point is not less than the water discharge coming out of the filtration area. This is because the water that comes out of the filtration area has a smaller discharge than the water that comes out of the sedimentation area because it has to go through layers of filters inside.
