Design of Dual Media Water Filter Purifier Using Clay Pot
Abstract: Numerous organisations make low-cost water treatment devices for rural homes, for instance filters, RO and UV-based water purifiers. However, these devices have problems like filter clogging, the need to replace filters frequently water contamination (in the case of RO), and the truth that electricity is not always available in rural areas, which makes them costly to use. Because of this, RO and UV purifiers are too expensive for people who …
