Prototype Filter

I will be building a prototype of my filter by April 2016.
This prototype filter will be using gravel, charcoal and sand and the motors will be propelled by hand.
I am using these materials instead of my original design because I cannot find activated carbon or ions to insert in my design and I cannot get a motor to insert into the motor.
The finished filter will use real motors and the ion exchange and activated carbon process.
My prototype will test my filter to see if the design is working and if it can filter the water.
I will film my testing of the prototype for you to see.
I will see if there are any flaws in the design will testing and will fix them so that it will work flawlessly.
All of my posts after this will be focused on my prototype filter.

Filter Update #1

I have now found out some minor problems with my design which will need to be tweaked. First off the charcoal that I will be using will need to be cleaned so that the charcoal itself does not contaminate the water. I also know that I will be using two types of filters that will become one. Those filter types are ion exchange and activated carbon.

Activated carbon will be put in my filter using charcoal which is very close to activated carbon and this process will take out chlorine-based chemicals, some pesticides, and industrial solvents.

I will be inserting the ion exchange process into the filter in order to take out limescale.

These processes will now make my filter extract more chemicals and other harder substances like limescale. For more a brief explanation of filter types you can visit http://www.explainthatstuff.com/howwaterfilterswork.html
