Aqua por la vida

1. Aqua por la vida Water Filter System 2nd Design

2. Material • PVC Pipe • 2 gallons • 2 tap water • Big pieces of carbon (coal) • Carbon active • zeolith • Ijuk • Silica sand • White Sand • Aquarium filter • Some fabric or unused cloth • PVC glue • Oval aluminium • Support stand

3. PVC pipes Y-shaped PVC Long PVC Bent-shaped PVC T-shaped PVC

4. Gallons Oval Alumunium Water tab Aquarium Cotton

5. Silica sands Carbon (coal) Carbon Active Ijuk zeolith

6. 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

7. Design 2

8. Procedure Firstly, make a hole in the bottom part of the galoons and put the tap water on it like the picture below.

9. Second, cut the PVC pipe in a various length depends on your needs as seen in the picture below.

10. 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

11. 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.

12. This is the layout of how the material will be in: • In the 1st pipe • zeolith • Ijuk • White sand • Aquarium cotton • In the 2nd pipe • Silica sand • Aquarium cotton • Big pieces of carbon • Aquarium cotton • In the 3rd pipe • Carbon active • Aquarium cotton

13. This is Pipe 1 which will be fill with ziolith, aquarium cotton, and coal.

14. Pipe 3 Pipe 2 These are pipes 2 and 3 Pipe number 2 is filled with silica sand, cotton, big pieces of carbon while, pipe number 3 contains carbon active and aquarium cotton

15. Pipe no. 3 here The interconnected pipes will now connect pipe no. 4 to the gallons Gallons Here

16. Aqua por la vida Data Result, Problem and Precaution

17. This is the result of the water used the second design The water looks like after the 2nd filtration The water looks after 1st filtration The final result from the 3rd filtration

18. Problem with the second design • Need to wait for long time to filter the water.

19. 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.

20. 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.

21. Cost of the Material • Gallons: @Rp. 40,000 • Carbon active: Rp.15,000 • Aquarium filter: Rp. 10,000 • Silica sand : Rp 5,000 • Carbon active : Rp.15,000 • Aquarium filter : Rp.10,000 • zeolith : Rp.15,000 • PVC : @ Rp. 20,000 • 1 metre fabric : Rp. 5,000 • Additional materials* :Rp. 20,000 *additional materials are those such as PVC glue, bottle, etc..
