Production of Dispenser to Filter Rainwater

Abstract

The study entitled Production of Dispenser to Filter Rainwater was conducted at Tagaytay City Science National High School from October to December 2017. The main objective of this study is to produce effective filtered water using a dispenser made out of cheap materials. This study sought to make effective filtered water, especially for drinking. The physical attributes that the filtered water should have are clarity and odour. With the outcome of the study, the researchers recommend the use of the dispenser for other purposes except drinking since it was not subjected for DOST lab testing. It was proven to be effective regarding its clarity and odour. Abig container was used as the dispenser. Wood was used as the divider. Small plastic containers were used as the container for the filtering materials. Fifty grams of sand was placed on the bottom, above the sand was cheesecloth, and above it was pebbles. The researchers made a hole at the bottom part of the container where a small water pipe was positioned. A water pipe was connected to the second container and portable activated charcoal where the rainwater will pass through. The heating device went to the other hole of the dispenser and fixed to the lowest part so when the filtered rainwater gets to the bottom; the device will just be plugged in. A rectangular glass was placed in front so that the process inside can be seen. The filtered rainwater has been collected after dispensing.
