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
