I need to make one for Science class, with only materials that are usually found at home. I cannot add chemicals to the treatment process. No one is going to be drinking the water. The purification system should be able to remove garbage (leaves, rocks, wrappers) and clean the colour of the water, somewhat, so that the end product is a beaker of water that has no garbage in it, and somewhat clear. Like I said before, no chemicals, and no one is going to be drinking it.

first filter it using a coffee filter. then you will need to boil and condense it, to do this use a tea kettle and put a pipe of piece or aluminum foil over the end in the shape of tubing to capture the steam long enough to cool it ,have the other end of your homeade tubing go into your beaker. the steam will cool and condense and drip down the foil into the beaker and be clean pure water.

www.ecowater.com Drinking Water Systems: EcoWater Systems offers reverse osmosis water filtration systems for residential use. For more ...

I have a client who says he sells a Water purification system that takes humidity out of the air and converts it to drinking water. He wants to sell this to businesses with the claim that it will save them money since they don’t have to buy 5 gallon water jugs for their water cooler. Has anyone ever heard of anything like this before? If so is there a website I can check out.

pros and cons

First, your talking about water that people ingest. Think of the liability for the company if they are producing their own drinking water for their employees and something goes wrong. Versus using another companies bottled water. Something like the filters or ozone generator fail and you get contaminated water...

Second, when you remove water from the air, the air becomes more dry. To compensate for dry air in the winter months, we usually add water via humidifiers. During the summer months we remove water via air conditioning. if we remove more for drinking water, we MAY have to adjust the air conditioning or add water from a humidifer to make the air comfortable. Sometimes, the relative humidity is high enough that it may actually help to remove water via this apparatus. Depends on the climate and the office conditions.

Third, this equipment uses a condensor and an ozone generating device. Although it claims to be very "efficient", condensors use electricity. So do ozone generating devices. (your home air conditioner is a condenser fyi). The company claims the cost will be as low as 10 cents / gallon to operate the condensor but that actual costs depend on the local utilities. Not sure what to make of that. I'd like to see the specs on the unit before I'd say it would save $.

Fourth, the equipment claims to filter to 0.01 micron, ozonate the water, and remove funny tastes and odors. This means it uses a 0.01 micron membrane filter, a carbon filter and an ozonater. They all sound expensive to replace. probably quarterly for the filters and annually for the ozone generator. Meaning you need a maintenance contract

All that said, it is certainly interesting. If your "distributor ship" accepts the liability for problems, if the cost was low enough per gallon to be attractive to the companies, if the conditions of the office were adequate for the equipment, it may work. Especially in todays world where drinking water companies are being questioned about the source of their water...

NSF tested and certified
Nitrate reduction
Manifold design provides seamless water path, effectively eliminating 17 connections

It's for a project that we need to do. I need to make a simple water purification system that seperates water and salt and/or gravel for a project?

Distill it! Check out this website, it's really simple.

Or poke small holes in the bottom of a plastic cup, and make layers of sand, gravel, and cotton (like cotton balls or a bandana) and pour the water in. That's easiest.

I need to design and make a water purification system powered by solar energy using household materials. I'm really not sure how to go about this and any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

Over in Africa they are using plastic bottles laid out in the sun for a few days to purify water. It's low tech but it works. You can read about it in the article below. And it can be done with simple household items.

My family of 6 will be car camping where we will need to use water from a local stream (in a wilderness area at about 5000-6000 feet.) I'm looking for a good water purification system. Weight is not an issue; small size is an advantage but not a big one. Effectiveness, reliabilty, ease of use and maintenance, and speed of operation are considerations.
