General Description
The design of the point of use filtration unit is currently being developed. At the moment, our design consists of the following parts:
- five gallon bucket that holds all of the components of the filter, as well as the filtered water
- 12 inch foam column, with 10 inch depth of foam media
- alum doser
- chlorine doser
- PVC tubing
How it works
Influent water from a stock tank first mixes with alum that is stored in an alum doser. It then enters the filtration column, where the water is filtered through the depth of foam media. The effluent water is then chlorinated and sent through a series of spiral tubing which serves as a rapid mix system. The filtered water is stored in the same bucket that holds the components of the filter. This acts as the distribution system for providing water to the community.
