Innovative Filter System Design for Enhanced Water Treatment

This project aims to design a device to clear particles from water, improving the effectiveness of the Better Water Maker. System analysis, concept selection, engineering analysis, and risk assessment are key components. Constraints include usability by all, use of local materials, and water taste preservation.

  2. Agenda • Recap: Background Info. & Requirements • System Analysis • Functional Decomposition • Concept Analysis • Concept Selection • System Architecture • Engineering Analysis • Risk Assessment • Test Plan • Next Steps

  3. Background Information & Requirements

  4. Problem Statement Current State: • In order to use the Better Water Maker (BWM) users must first pour the water through a cloth before being treated. Desired State: • The device should clear particles from water to allow the BWM to operate more effectively. • The device should be simple to use and operable by both women and children. Project Goals: • Analyze the design selected by P13418 • Improve the effectiveness of the Better Water Maker Notable Constraints: • Must be usable by both women and children • Only locally available materials may be consumed • Must not negatively impact the smell and taste of water
