After the "double bucket" experiment, we conducted the upflow experiments, which involved mixing the alum solution through vertical up flow. This gives the advantage of the up flow water being more into contact with the granular alum and dissolution of the alum.

On this team, especially since this a new invent team, I feel that everyone has contributed on every design, experiment, and code that we've put together in every degree.
