I have a expertise project that i need to do. i need to make a water filtration system. so that one day i put in dirty water then some days later it is clear. Does anyone certain how to do this? Dont answer if you are just going to say you dont know

Steps

1. Find some clay. It can large be found near rivers, though in certain areas it may be the dirt that you're already standing on.
2. Find some wood. Pine is lenient to get, but hard wood such as oak is a far better material.
3. Grind the wood into fine sawdust with a rock or other petrified object and mix this dust with the clay.
4. Form the clay into a vessel, bowl, or something similar.
5. Allow the pot to dry from start to finish.
6. Build a fire. Put the dried pot into it. Make the fire as hot as you can. The point here is to make sure that the clay undergoes a physical substitution, turning it into redware ceramic. Be patient, this can take as long as 24 straight hours of heat.
7. Take into account the pot to cool.
8. Put water in your pot. Because it isn't glazed, the water will slowly seep through. The wood bits mixed into the clay will have burned off, leaving only a bit of carbon behind. The now spongy ceramic will filter out dirt and other large pieces of matter that you may not want to drink.
Tips

* If you have sawdust already (for whatever figure out...), you can grind it very fine by running it through a #80 wire screen. This is an ideal way to get the consistency of the sawdust set.
* Don't mix too much sawdust into the clay! If you use too much, then the pot will fall apart when its being fired.

What can you tell me about a home water filtration system?

I am looking into buying a water run for kitchen tap. I gather you can put a system under the sink and run a separate tap.

Has anyone ever used such a system successfully? Or unsuccessfully for tht matter?

Is there a way I can try before I buy?

Thanks.

Water filtration systems fall in three basic designs, ranked by their effectiveness.
1. Ionic, which uses electricity to remove the extra chemicals. Some labs to beget distilled water out of tap water use this system.
2. Osmosis Filter’ which forces the water to move up through a filter leaving behind impurities.
3. Filter systems, which completely run the water through a filter.

Pure and Brita make several filter systems. Some attach to the sink faucet (which I installed myself and use) others are a winnow in a pitcher.

Before paying all that money for a professionally installed system I would by the Brita Pitcher and try that out. If you notice a difference then you might be the more expensive system. However, once you sign the contract to install the expensive system you are stuck with it--there is no "try before you buy" policy.

Ourselves I do notice the taste difference.

Should I spend on $5000 Home Water filtration System?

Have you ever had an in-home water filtration sales fix? What did you think? Did you purchase? Does it work?
I do have a Marine Reef Aquarium that requires 0 TDS, which them claim this system will victual. If this were the case then it could save me money in the long run while providing the rest of the home with soft water.
Oh, and Nelis, they offered us the same soap and shampoo behave, 10yrs of stuff I likely won't use. Flags started to fly when I get that "Shamwow" vibe.
Jason : Yes staingless, Yes, Yes, and Yes. It is top-of-the-note this I have confirmed but, I don't know how much it should cost.

Don't do it. If you exceedingly want to get one do this. Go to Lowe's or Home Depot, buy one for about $500. You will also need another filter that willl cost you about $40. Now, if you can't fit it hire a plumber, he/she may charge you about $400-$750 depending where you live. Once installed buy the bags of salt about $4 each and in about 3 -5 days (depends on the volume of your home) you will feel the effect of your new water system.

I installed mine myself and spent about $600. I had some people come buy with an offer of $8000. I'm exultant with the one I have is a GE system. If you really want it, I suggest you do it this way.
