 CHAPTER I:
INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND

CLEAN WATER IS NECESSARY FOR GOOD HEALTH, YET MANY STILL LACK IT. CONTAMINATION
FRON INDUSTRY, AGRICULTURE, AND SEWAGE CAN CAUSE FATAL DISEASES.
WATER FILTERS REMOVE IMPURITIES AND CONTAMINANTS FROM WATER, MAKING IT SAFE FOR
DRINKING. DIFFERENT TYPES OF WATER FILTERS ARE AVAILABLE, FROM SIMPLE CARBON-BASED
FILTERS TO ADVANCE REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEMS.
WATER FILTERS EFFECTIVENESS RELIES ON FILTER TYPE, WATER CONTAMINATION LEVEL, AND
FILTER MAINTENANCE. THEY CAN IMPROVE WATER QUALITY IN SOME CASES, BUT NOT ALL. THEY
MIGHT REQUIRE REGULAR REPLACEMENT OR MAINTENANCE.
IN THIS TOPIC WE WILL EXPLORE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF WATER FILTERS IN IMPROVING WATER
QUALITY AND THEIR ROLE IN ENSURING ACCESS TO CLEAN AND SAFE DRINKING WATER.
 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

THIS RESEARCH ENTITLED “EFFECTIVENESS OF WATER FILTER IN IMPROVING WATER

QUALITY” AIMS TO INVESTIGATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF WATER FILTER IN IMPROVING WATER
QUALITY.
SPECIFICALLY, THE RESEARCHERS SOUGHT TO ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

1. WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF MAKING WATER FILTER ?

2. WHAT IS THE HELP OF IMPROVISED WATER FILTER (SAND,CHARCOAL,ETC.) TO PURIFY THE
WATER ?
3. WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF WATER FILTER IN IMPROVING WATER QUALITY ?
 HYPOTHESIS

WATER FILTRATION IS CRUCIAL AS IT PROVIDES ACCESS TO CLEAN AND

DEPENDABLE DRINKING WATER, FREE FROM CONTAMINANMTS. WITHOUT IT,
CONTAMINATED WATER CAN LEAD TO ILLNESS OR RELIANCE ON LESS HEALTHY
BEVERAGES. FILTREATION PROCESSES REMOVE IMPURITIES LIKE BACTERIA, DIRT,
AND SAND, MAKING THE WATER CLEARER AND SAFER TO DRINK.
 SCOPE AND DELIMITATION

THIS STUDY FOCUSES ON THE IMPROVISED WATER FILTER. IT AIMS TO HELP

PEOPLE BY USING IT AND TO CREATE A LOW COST WATER FILTER THAT WILL HELP
PEOPLE. THE IMPROVISED WATER FILTER SAVE MANY LIVES AND ANYONE CAN
CREATE AT HOME.
 DEFINITION OF TERMS

• WATER- A SUBSTANCE COMPOSED OF CHEMICALS ELEMENTS HYDROGEN AND OXYGEN AND

EXISTING A GASEOUS, LIQUID AND SOLID STATES.
• WATER FILTER- A DEVICE FOR REMOVING UNWANTED SUBSTANCES SUCH AS BACTERIA OR
HARMFUL CHEMICALS FROM DRINKING WATER.
• WATERBORNE DISEASE- WATERBORNE ILLNESS IS CAUSED BY RECREATIONAL OR DRINKING
WATER CONTAMINATED BY DISEASE-CAUSING MICROBES OR PATHOGENS.
• CONTAMINATION- THE ACTION OR STATE OF MAKING OR BEING MADE IMPROVE BY
POLLUTING OR POISONING.
• CONTAMINANTS- A POLLUTING OR POISONOUS SUBSTANCE THAT MAKE SOMETHING IMPROVE.
• IMPURITIES- SUBSTANCES THAT ARE PRESENT IN SMALL QUANTITIES IN ANOTHER SUBSTANCE
AND MAKE IT DIRTY OR OF AN UNACCEPTABLE QUALITY.
 CHAPTER II: REVIEW OF RELATED
LITERATURE
THE THOUGHTS AND IDEAS THAT HELPED FROM THE CURRENT STUDY ARE REVIEWED IN
THIS RESEARCH CHAPTER ALONG WITH PERTINENT READINGS, PAPERS, LITERATURE.
ACCORDING TO MANSO (2017) OF THE FOREIGN STUDIES DEPARTMENT, THE MAIN FACTORS IN
WATER PURIFICATION ARE SAFETY AND HEALTH. REMEMBER THAT ANY WATER PURIFIER IS
PREFERABLE TO NONE AT ALL WHEN SELECTING THE IDEAL WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM FOR
YOUR HOME. SIMPLY SAID, SOME WATER PURIFIERS ARE SUPERIOR TO OHERS. IN THIS
INSTANCE, COST IS NOT ALWAYS A GOOD INDICATION OF VALUE. HERE IS SOME INFORMATION
THAT SHOULD ASSIST YOU IN SELECTING THE BEST SOLUTION FOR YOUR FAMILY. HEALTH
AND SAFETY SHOULD BE TOP PRIORITIES WHEN SELECTING A NEW WATER PURIFYING
SYSTEM. ACCORDING TO THE PROCEDURES FOLLOWED BY PUBLIC TREATMENT FACILITIES.
 WATER IS SUCH A VITAL COMPONENT OF OUR DAILY LIVES, SAYS FLOWATER
2020, THAT WE FREQUENTLY FORGET TO THINK ABOUT IT’S SOURCE AND QUALITY.
WE PRESUME THAT WE ARE GETTING THE FINEST RESULT POSSIBLE. FILTERED
WATER IS USED BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT TAP WATER IS UNFIT FOR
CONSUMPTION. WATER FILTRATION IS SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE IT PROVIDES PEOPLE
WITH ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER THAT IS FREE OF IMPURITIES, HAS A PLEASANT
FLAVOR, AND IS A DEPENDABLE SOURCE OF HYDRATION. WITHOUT IT, DRINKING
OTHER LIQUIDS THAT MIGHT NOT BE AS HEALTHY AS FILTERED WATER RUNS THE
DANGER OF MAKING YOU SICK FROM CONSUMING CONTAMINATED WATER. THERE
ARE VARIOUS KINDS OF FILTERED WATER, BUT THEY ALL PROVIDE
FUNDAMENTALS.
 RELATED STUDIES

ACCORDING TO RAJ. KISHORE.S (2019). USING NATURALLY OCCURRING MATERIALS SUCH AS

WOOD, CHARCOAL, THAT WAS GATHERED AND CRUSHED INTO SIZES OF 10MM AND LOWER, AS
WELL AS FLAT SAND THAT PASSED THROUGH A 425 TO 6000 MICRON IS SIEVE, IRON WAS
REMOVED. KISHORE.S 2019 ADDITIONALLY, ANTHRACITE WITH A PARTICLE SIZE OF 625 MICRON
AND LESS WAS EMPLOYED, AS WELL AS MANGANESE MODIFIED SAND WITH A SIZE DOWN TO 850
MICRON. IN ORDER TO WATER FILTER, THE ZINC, COPPER, AND IRON SOLUTIONS WERE PREPARED
AND PUT THROUGH VARIOUS ADSORPTION PROCESS. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE HEAVY
METAL SOLUTION, WHICH HAS A CONCENTRATION OOF 6.00 TO 5.00 PPM, WAS FILTERED BY SAND
MEDIA, RESULTING IN WATER WITH A 0.3 TO 0.1 PPM CONCENTRATION AND A PH OF 6.5 TO 8.5
VISHAL. A WATER CONSTRUCTED OF PLASTIC JAR, SAND, IS SHOWN BY L. IN 2019.
CHAPTER III: METHODOLOGY
 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

WATER IS AN IMPORTANT RESOURCE FOR BOTH NATURE AND HUMAN LIFE.

OBTAINING FRESH WATER THESE DAYS IS A DIFFICULT EFFORT. SOME PEOPLE ARE
EXTREMELY HEALTH CONSCIOUS TO CLEANLINESS AND WATER QUALITY.
COUNTERTOP WATER FILTERS ARE A USEFUL WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM TO
PREVENT THIS KIND OF ISSUE. IT IS NOT ONLY THE CHEAPEST BUT ALSO ONE OF
THE BEST TECHNIQUES TO PURGE WATER OF IMPURITIES. TODAY, PRACTICALLY
EVERYONE IS AWARE OF HOW IMPORTANT WATER DETOXIFICATION IS. THE
IMPORTANCE OF WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM IS ALSO UNDERSTOOD BY RESIDENTS
IN DISTANT AREAS WITHOUT ACCESS TO HARD WATER. A WATER TRUSTWORTHY
FILTRATION SYSTEM GUARANTEES THAT DRINKING WATER IS SAFE AND CLEAN.

 RESEARCH DESIGN

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF WATER FILTERS IN ENHANCING WATER QUALITY WAS

INVESTIGATED USING A QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH DESIGN, WHICH INVOLVE
GATHERING NUMERICAL DATA AND STATISTICALLY ANALYZING TO SPOT TRENDS
AND PATTERNS. THIS STRATEGY CAN ALSO GUARANTEE THE IMPARTIALITY AND
DEPENDABILITY OF THE STUDY’S FINDINGS, OFFERINGS INSIGHTFUL
INFORMATION TO GUIDE CHOICES ON THE OPTICUM KINDS OF FILTERS TO APPLY
IN VARIOUS CONTEXTS.
 STATISTICAL TREATMENT

A T-TEST IS A STATISTICAL TEST THAT MAY BE USED TO COMPARE THE MEAN

VALUES OF TWO GROUPS OF DATA FOR ASSESSING HOW WELL A WATER FILTER
WORKS TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF THE WATER. EXAMPLES OF DATA GROUPS
INCLUDE MEASUREMENTS OF THE WATER QUALITY PRIOR TO FILTRATION AND
MEASUREMENTS OF THE WATER QUALITY FOLLOWING FILTRATION. THE WATER
FILTER’S ABILITY TO IMPROVE WATER QUALITY CAN BE ASSESSED USING THE T-
TEST TO SEE IF THERE IS A STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
THE MEANS OF THE TWO GROUPS OF DATA.
 APPENDICES

THE RESEARCHERS OBSERVATION ARE:

ON OUR FIRST OBSERVATION, THE OUTCOME WAS NOT HOW WE EXPECTED THE WATER
WOULD BE LIKE. FIRST OF ALL, WE POUR THE WATER TO OUR WATER FILTER.
SECONDLY, WE NOTICED THAT IMPURITIES WERE LEFT BEHIND IN EACH LAYER OF THE
PROTOTYPE WATER FILTER AND IT REALLY CLEANED THE DIRTY WATER.
LASTLY, AFTER FILTERING THE WATER, THE WATER BECAME CLEAN AND THE DIRTY SMELL
OF THE WATER DISAPPEARED.
IN CONCLUSION, OUR FIRST DESIGN OF OUR PROTOTYPE WATER FILTER WAS SUCCESSFUL.
