How Do I Make A Drinking Water Purification System?
I need to make a drinking water purification system for my Science class, with only materials that are usually found at home.
I cannot add chemicals to the treatment process. No one is going to be drinking the water. The water purification system should be able to remove garbage (leaves, rocks, wrappers) and clean the colour of the water, somewhat, so that the end product is a beaker of water that has no garbage in it, and somewhat clear.
Like I said before, no chemicals, and no one is going to be drinking the water.
first filter it using a coffee filter. then you will need to boil and condense it, to do this use a tea kettle and put a pipe of piece or aluminum foil over the end in the shape of tubing to capture the steam long enough to cool it ,have the other end of your homeade tubing go into your beaker. the steam will cool and condense and drip down the foil into the beaker and be clean pure water.
Use a cloth or a coffee filter. Try filtering the water several times. After filtering, bring it to a rapid, rolling boil for a minimum of 1 minute to destroy any pathogens like bacteria, viruses or protozoa.
