Could you explain how it works though?

[@Skylight_Designs]

The rocks and gravel filter out large sediments. The soil and sand filters out fine impurities, organisms and particles and the cotton layer acts as the final barrier.

@@Skylight_Designs Thx for this but i want to try something if you add newspaper and tissue what would be the effect? Also if i added sponge only in the middle?

[@Skylight_Designs]

@@mangoe19t95 No, you can't use sponge ,tissue or newspaper! Only the cotton can be replaced by a coffee filter.

Question: Would a coffee filter work because charcoal is very limited in the areas i live in. Like maybe it would be the final step where the water falls into it.

[@Skylight_Designs]

Yes it should work. You can check out my other filter video with alternatives. kzbin.info/www/bejne/np-5i6SEfrempLs

[@Avec6]

does this model show any dirty minerals that have been filtered out?

[@natashaboteilho5045]

girl you saved my grades

[@Skylight_Designs]

Thank you!!

[@jenniferghabach2058]

I don't think the soil is a good option for the filter. I agree with the cotton balls, sand and gravel. Activated charcoal would be a better substitute for the soil. Most other filters that I've watched make their dirty water with the soil, not use it in the filter.

[@Skylight_Designs]

Soil contains important biota that helps transform and decompose certain chemicals and other contaminants. You can leave it out if you want.

[@pratibhakubde9248]

Yes you are right Jenny G

[@neelabhchauhan7169]

We can use charcoal instead of soil

[@sajeevambal]

Soil is not a proper filter. You ve taken raw soil and applied at bottom where the filtered water reached for final stage. It'll get contaminated again. If you'd use it at starting face ( top or second ) it would make sense. Use charcoals is the correct way.

[@Metro.e10]

You can use ash as an alternative

[@spacebook7004]

Thank you for your video❤ But can you pls tell me that how long does it takes to filter the water??

[@Skylight_Designs]

It takes a few minutes only as shown.

[@spacebook7004]

Is that take nearly 10 minutes?

[@bhanushka]

Will this work with coloured water?... like, Will the water get decolourised after it has pass through the filter?

[@Skylight_Designs]

No, it does not have components to decolourise coloured water.

[@AsliTejas]

Wow I am 500th Like

[@Skylight_Designs]

[@Leavebitch]

Can you use any sand like the park sand

[@Skylight_Designs]

Yes

[@mangoe19t95]

Throughout the whole going to the garden part how is there no bugs disturbing? Also this was helpful cause i need to make one and this made me inspired

[@Skylight_Designs]

My garden is pest-free! It's an easy and effective project. Good luck! But remember to boil the filtered water before drinking it.

[@mangoe19t95]

Welcome

[@misterfancy9528]

Can I use gravel for the sand?

[@Skylight_Designs]

Gravel is already used as the top layer

[@MMSZoli]

So, with garden soil you try filter? You just add bacteries at the end of the process. :-) Please use clean and powdered charcoal instead.

You can try using big stones for top layer, smaller stones for next layer and sand last. You can wash the sand if it is dirty.
