The document outlines the construction procedure for a Rainwater Filtration System using a 55-gallon water barrel as a collection tank, which is connected to a water pump and a settling tank. The settling tank features a lamella clarifier design and valves for sludge management and clean water transfer to a commercial filter. Additionally, support structures are created using welded 2” angle bars, and waterproof sealants are employed to prevent leaks.

Construction

This is an overview of the procedure on the construction of the Rainwater

Filtration System.

A 55-gallon water barrel will be used as a water collection tank. It will be drilled

on the lower side portion of the water barrel to which water will flow through. The hole

created will be coupled to a lever ball valve to be able to control the amount of water

flowing through the filtration system. The valve will be connected to a SAER 1 HP Water

Pump with the use of a 1” Galvanized Pipe. The pipe used for every transfer of water

from one component to another will be using 1” Galvanized pipe.

Connected to the pump is a settling tank. The settling tank will be made up of

folded and riveted 19-gauge flat sheet. To prevent spilling and leak, waterproof sealants

will be used for the gaps of the settling tank. A set of lamella clarifier design will be

incorporated in the settling tank. The lower side area of the settling tank will also be

drilled and screened so that sludge will pass through below. The drilled hole on the

lower side of the settling tank will be coupled to a valve to permit excretion of sludge or

not. On the higher side area of the settling tank, another hole will be drilled in which

settled clean water can proceed to the commercial filter. Sludge pan will be prepared

under the valve where sludge will be excreted. For the hole on the upper side of the

settling tank, another valve will be coupled to the hole and to the galvanized pipe going

to the commercial filter.

The commercial filters will have water collection troughs beneath it for sample

harvesting. 2” angle bars will be cut and weld together for support of each components.
