ON CHANGING THE FILTER MATERIALS - Please see the full answer below. This filter MUST be used with some chemical means or boiling to make the water safe. This filter is only the first step, a pre-filter, before chemical I get this question often, "How many liters/gallons before you have to change the filter elements?" The answer is not so simple, it all depends on what you pour into the top of the filter. If you are putting fairly decent, clear running stream water into the filter the activated carbon will last a long time. If you are filtering stagnant pond water not as long. The synthetic fiber wad in the top will get dirty looking after a few days and if there is a high quantity of algae in the water will slow the filter down. I carry extra fiber to replace that in the field. You can also remove the fiber wad and wash it out in clear water if it has large debris in it. I don't normally carry extra carbon pellets to replace them in the bush. They are very low cost, one carton of pellets will last for years. The bottom line, if in doubt change the pellets, we're talking about 5 cents worth of charcoal here. My general rule, if I have been using the filter often I change the pellets before I head out. This filter often gets used by groups of survival students and will easily filter enough water for five people over the course of four days. I don't always change the carbon after trips like that, again, it depends on what we had to filter. This filter MUST be used with some ...

How the BioSand Water Filter works - Samaritan's Purse CANADAMay 20, 2012
The BioSand Water Filter is an adaptation of slow-sand filtration that is designed for use by families at the household level. This award-winning water filtration technology was developed by Dr. David Manz, a former University of Calgary professor. The filters are a proven, effective, and inexpensive technology. From start to finish the filters can be constructed in roughly 10 days, at an average cost of $100, which covers the raw materials, construction, transportation, supervision, training for the family in filter maintenance and personal hygiene, as well as monitoring and evaluation. The filter removes organisms responsible for diseases spread by water, such as cholera, typhoid fever, and amoebic dysentery. The filter also strains out particles causing cloudiness, and much of the organic matter responsible for taste, colour, and odour. One of the UN Millennium Development Goals is to reduce, by half, the proportion of people without access to safe drinking water and hygienic sanitation by the year 2015. Samaritans Purse is helping make this possible. Already more than 70000 BioSand Water Filters have been installed, bringing safe water to an estimated 560000 individuals worldwide. The Filtration Process The filter is very durable, constructed from concrete, sand, gravel, and PVC piping. These materials can be found in almost every country and enable community members to help construct the filters on location. Water is poured into the top of the filter and flows down ...
