  1. Rainwater purification & Filtration System Group 2 Jeremy Dunlop Aaron Davis Andrew Barbanera Kevin Davis

  2. Why filter rainwater? • The water in a raindrop is one of the cleanest sources of water available, but can absorb gases, soot, and other particles as it falls through the sky. • When it reaches a roof, it can be • exposed to herbicide or pesticide sprays and animal droppings. • A filter is needed to remove those impurities.

  3. Competition and comparison Competition: • Competition is very minimal • Filters on the market include debris removal Comparison: • Our filter removes impurities collected in rainwater through the use of charcoal • Plants fed purified rainwater grow healthier and faster

  4. Assembly • Remove items from bucket • Place o-ring onto down stem • Fasten locknut • Wash each medium then layer • Coarse gravel • Pea gravel • Sand • Carbon • Sand • Pea gravel • Coarse gravel
