The diagram provides a detailed construction and functioning of water filtration producing purified water.
Overall, the water filtering process includes two plastic barrels, the first one is used for refining water. Following that, filtered water is stored in the next barrel and can be accessed for drinking.
At the beginning, the first barrel is filled with three separate layers, as sand on the top, charcoal, gravel at the bottom, respectively. Subsequently, dirty water is poured into the tank, percolated through three layers one after another in order to remove residue completely. It is necessary to seal the system with a plastic lid to prevent external contamination.
At the end, the purified water is transferred through a connecting pipe to a storage drum. Once the filtration is complete, the water in the drum is ready to consume. Consumers can use clean water by pouring it through a faucet connected to a drum.
