Water Filtration System Project

Build your filter cartridge.

Water filtration system project.

Follow the steps below to make your own home made water filter. But in 2010 a filtration system was installed that made it so that water could be cleaned and reused onboard the space station. They make our drinking water clean. Water filters are used to remove impurities and solid particles from our water.

Homemade simple water filter. In this engineering project you ll be designing a water filtration system. To build your own filtration system you ll need a filter cartridge. By combining different materials to create a filter you ll be able to clean dirty water.

This water filter is installed under your sink for a discreet appearance and filters up to 11 gal. This project is best for children in grades three through six but it will work for all ages. Adult supervision required when handling chemicals and or cutting objects remember to use proper safety equipment when experimenting. 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.

Construction of the homemade water filter will take about an hour to build. You can easily make a water filter with children using recycled materials found at home.
