Because we won t disinfect our water for this water project and will just be making an example water filtration system it is not safe to drink as this purification process and treatment process we will experiment with will not provide safe and pure water.
Water filtration system project.
Follow the steps below to make your own home made water filter.
Homemade simple water filter.
Water filters are used to remove impurities and solid particles from our water.
Until a few years ago water needed to sent up to the space station in large containers the size of duffel bags.
