Abstract

A study has been conducted for designing, constructing and evaluating of an effective sand filter. Different types of sand filter and important filter media was used for the modification of sand filter. The flow rate of the sand filtered water decreases significantly with increase in turbidity.Sand filter an intermittently operated household Slow Sand Filter (SSF) is one of the most promising POU water purification methods used for rural areas.
