The Low Flow Stacked Rapid Sand Filter team seeks to design and build a 30 cm diameter filter that will accurately model the filters being constructed in India by AguaClara, LLC and to use the existing 10 cm diameter filter to quantify the effects of incorporating a backwash initiator and to construct an improved sand drain. The 10 cm team has constructed a constant head device, run the filter, and determined that the backwash initiator does not actually aid in the initiation of backwash, and is in practice a fluidization indicator. The 10 cm team has also constructed an alternative sand drain, but has not yet utilized it. The 30 cm diameter team has constructed a filter column, an inlet tank, and an exit tank. They have developed and implemented new methods to assemble these components, and they have documented their progress to facilitate the construction of new filters.
