CARBON FILTERWe all need clean drinking water. You can boil water to kill bacteria, viruses and other pathogens but what about chemical contaminants, heavy metals and other nasty substances? By boiling and using a carbon filter you will be able to make water which is safe to drink.
Activated carbon and the carbon you will make are different. Activated carbon has a massive surface area because of the activation which involves complicated processes and/or chemicals. Regular carbon has a smaller surface area, so it is not able to trap as many contaminants, but it will still be able to do the job. After making and using one of these filters your water should be clear, free of odor, and drinkable. |
MAINTENANCE: You will need to replace the charcoal after several uses.
CONSTRUCTION TIME: A small carbon filter can be made in less than 15 minutes...of course you can elaborate on the project to create a large carbon filter useful for processing a lot of water.
