Abstract

n

n

nNumerous 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 live in rural areas. The goal of our project is to improve existing filter designs and fix the problems with current filtration models in a cost-effective way. The study focusses on water purification utilising naturally sourced materials, employing copper mesh as a disinfectant to develop an effective and cost-efficient water purifier for rural areas. People use earthen pots to clean water that is made from different amounts of clay and sawdust (50:50, 60:40, 70:30). People in rural areas usually use lake and well water in the specific way. Multiple assessments of drinking water done on samples before and after the treatment showed that the filters were able to clean the water to the standards for drinking water. The first model (50:50) removed the most turbidity and TDS, with lake water losing 89% and 72.35% of its turbidity and TDS, and well water losing 78% and 67.47% of its turbidity and TDS. Because copper was used as a disinfectant, there was no E. coli in the water that was treated for any of the three models. The findings indicated that the Pot Filter (50:50 model) can be effectively utilised as an economical filtration device in rural locations.nn
