What is Activated Carbon Water Filter Tank?

Concept

An activated carbon water filter tank is one of the models of water filtration using activated carbon to remove impurities and contaminants in water. This is considered one of the most common water filtration facilities in rural areas nowadays.

Guide on How to Make an Activated Carbon Water Filter Tank

To create a water filtration system using activated carbon, the first step is to prepare the materials.

1. Prepare the Materials

Typically, a water filter tank will use various types of filter materials. Therefore, users should prepare these materials in advance.

• Golden sand, quartz sand specifically for water filter tanks.
• Purchase black sand and ensure it is cleaned before adding it to the tank.
• Large and small stones to enhance water treatment efficiency.
• Activated carbon: It is recommended to choose coconut shell activated carbon for the highest water filtration efficiency.

Additionally, prepare PVC filter pipes. The pipe wall should be drilled with many small holes with a diameter of about 0.5cm.

2. Procedure for Making the Activated Carbon Tank

The guide on making an activated carbon water filter tank is straightforward. After preparing all the materials, you just need to place the materials in the tank in order. The minimum height of the filter tank should be at least 1m to ensure the highest water filtration efficiency.

Users should arrange the filter materials in the following order:

Layer 1

The first layer uses large stones to create holes for easy placement of the PVC water filter pipe. This layer of stones should have a minimum height of 10cm.

Layer 2

The next layer consists of slightly smaller stones. The average height of this layer is from 5cm - 7cm.

Layer 3

Use clean quartz sand with a thickness of about 5cm - 10cm.

Layer 4

Cover this layer with a coconut shell activated carbon. It is recommended to use carbon pellets to increase the mechanical durability of the product when in contact with water, thereby minimizing material erosion.

Layer 5

Cover with black sand with a thickness of about 20 - 30cm.

Note: Use a sprinkler nozzle to ensure a uniform water flow into the tank. Avoid excessive flow that can cause erosion of the filter materials, reducing the water treatment efficiency of this facility.
