Water Filter

Unit 3 and 4 Product Design and Technology

SAT Folio and Product

There’s is a multitude of health problems and risks associated with drinking polluted water. The end user can rely on a gravitational water filter, which requires no energy besides natural gravity. The end user may face challenges when clean drinking water is needed and when the only available sustainable water sources are lakes, ponds, and puddles. However, due to the potentially harmful micro-organisms and materials in these bodies of water, it may not be ideal to drink from. This leads the end user to utilise this gravity-powered filter to access clean drinking water.

The product will appear like most water filters available on the market. Still, on the inside, it differs because it specialises in multiple filtration methods to target different-sized pollutants. Three layers precisely to target and filter out undesired chemicals, materials, and contaminants from polluted water. The water filter will also be functional in conventional ways: dirty water is inserted in the top compartment of the filter, and gradually, the water moves down the different filter elements, leaving particles behind and producing clean drinking water.
