But, for now, let’s focus on how you can protect your body and the planet by filtering your water. A water filter acts as a barrier that prevents contaminants and other harmful chemicals from entering your body. They all serve the same purpose, but some work better than others. Whether you’re planning a camping trip, or just want one for your home or apartment, here is a great DIY water filter for you to consider…

The Bio Filter

What You’ll Need:

• a screen ($7-$20)
• hole saw ($13-$50)
• activated charcoal ($10-$20)
• gravel ($5-$30)
• plastic plumbing fittings (about $10)
• fine sand ($4-$10)
• small rocks ($9-$50)
• cloth ($4-$7)
• rubber band ($1)
• a five gallon water jug ($6-$10)

Time To Make: about an hour
Cost To Make: ($59-$208)

To Do:

• Cover the “bottom” (where the clean water will funnel out) with a screen and a cloth and secure with a rubber band. You may consider rigging a plumbing fixture to the bottom for a smoother transition.
• Turn the gallon container upside down and cut a whole at the “top” to pour in contents.
• Layer the activated charcoal
• Layer the fine sand
• Layer the small rocks
• Layer the fine sand
• Layer the small rocks
• Place a container underneath the 5 gallon jug to collect the clean water
• Make sure the jug and container underneath are secure to prevent spillage and water damage to surrounding area

Notes:

• All material should be clean and store-bought, not found from the ground.
• The material you use will determine the quality of the water filtering
• The water should only be ran through the system once
• Do not leave the water standing for too long because it may collect bacteria
