IMPORTANT NOTE
The sand filter plans are dynamic according to
what you build with. I have given you a spreadsheet
to enable you to build a filter using your own vessel. Example
build diagrams are included.
The PowerPoint download for the Purifying Water seminar has a
diagram and photos of building a filter.
I corrected the example build in the spreadsheet
to be 10 inches of head rather than 12 inches
and made some other tweaks and uploaded a new spreadsheet on
12/6/2015
12 inches of head is too close to the safe zone
for my comfort.
Replace any versions you downloaded earlier and get the corrected
one now
Thank you.
