Functions PVC Pipe : place for the material gallons : as the tank to keep the clean water tap water: to pour the water out Big pieces of carbon: sterilize the water from the bacteries, absorb
the odor and poisions Carbon active: to lose the odor, caporite, and chlorine zeolith: used for chemical filtration that absorb the molecules and
lose the nitrogen ions Ijuk : filter big material contain in the water Silica: to collect the bacteries contain in the water White Sand: to filter the water from its small particles contain in it Aquarium filter: to seperate from each materials and to... PVC glue: to connect the pipes Oval aluminium: to keep the rain water
Design 2
Firstly, make a hole in the bottom part of the galoons and put the tap water on it like the picture below.
Procedure
Second, cut the PVC pipe in a various length depends on your needs as seen in the picture below.
Thirdly, wash the aquarium filter, silica sand, big carbon, ziolith, carbon active, and ijuk.Make sure they had dry before we put into the pipes
Rearrange the pipes into 4 part as in the picture below. Connect the long pipes with the bent-shaped pipe and Y-shape pipe. Each part will be fill with different materials.
This is the layout of how the material will be in:
In the 1st pipe1. zeolith2. Ijuk3. White sand4. Aquarium cotton In the 2nd pipe1. Silica sand2. Aquarium cotton3. Big pieces of carbon4. Aquarium cotton In the 3rd pipe1. Carbon active2. Aquarium cotton
This is Pipe 1 which will be fill with ziolith, aquarium cotton, and coal.
Pipe number 2 is filled with silica sand, cotton, big pieces of carbon while, pipe number 3 contains carbon active and aquarium cotton
These are pipes 2 and 3Pipe 3
Pipe 2
The interconnected pipes will now connect pipe no. 4 to the gallons
Pipe no. 3 here

Data Result, Problem and Precaution
AQUA POR LA VIDA
This is the result of the water used the second design
The water looks after 1st filtration
The water looks like after the 2nd filtration The final result
from the 3rd filtration
Problem with the second design Need to wait for long time to filter the
water.
Precaution Dirty water that will be used for purification should not
be too concentrated. At least, clean water should be more than the mixture.
Water that will be used also have to undergo some tests, like biological test, physical test, and chemical test. To make sure that no chemical substance there.
All purifier should be clean. Before cleaning the water, each of the materials should be washed, especially zeolith, carbon active, ijuk, and sand. So that the waste there will not affect the experiment
Make sure that all materials should fit the PVC pipes, so that the big molecules from water will not go down to the galoon first.
Precaution
Just let the water go down by itself. No need to push it away.
The place for the purification should be cleaned too. Make sure no dirt there.
The 4th pipe would not be fill with the material. Make sure there is no gap when putting the
aquarium cotton. The cotton should be tightly with the diameter of the pipe.
After 1,5 months we should change the materials.
