A water filter is certainly a basic necessity today.
Learning how to filter water can come in handy when you’re stuck somewhere with limited resources.
Here’s a DIY water filter for you!
What you need:
– Sand
– Activated Charcoal
– Cotton
– Gravel
– Muddy water
– Plastic Water Bottle
Steps
1. Uncap the bottle and cut the top half of it. Place it on the lower half like a funnel.
2. Place the cotton in the funnel and then add the activated charcoal, sand and gravel.
3. Now slowly pour some muddy water and observe.
The water will seep through the layers and the water received in the lower part of the bottle will be completely filtered!
Did you know charcoal removes toxins while retaining the minerals in water?
To consume water filtered through this process it needs to be thoroughly boiled first.
