BIOSAND WATER FILTER What does it look like?
The filter is quite simply a concrete container, enclosing layers of sand and gravel.
Water is poured into the top of the filter as needed, where a diffuser plate placed above the sand bed dissipates the initial force of the water. Traveling slowly through the sand bed, the water then passes through several layers of gravel and collects in a pipe at the base of the filter. At this point, the water is propelled through plastic piping encased in the concrete exterior, and out of the filter, for the user to collect. YCC of Ghana ( C) 2004-2006,all rights reserved | |
