A Few Days of Hard Work
Hey there, friends! 🌟 We’ve been diving into an exciting project lately—building our very own filtration system! It’s been a labor of love, filled with hauling sand and gravel, gluing PVC pipes, and installing valves. Here’s a quick rundown of what we’ve been up to:
- Hauling materials:
We gathered sand and gravel, which meant a lot of heavy lifting but totally worth it! - Gluing PVC pipes:
As we pieced everything together, we made sure our connections were solid. - Installing valves:
These will help us control the flow of water through our system, including overflow and draining, making it super efficient. - Washing the sand and peat gravel:
A clean filter is a happy filter! We took extra care to wash everything thoroughly. - Covering the barrels:
To keep pesky mosquitoes at bay, we covered our barrels with nets to secure the water.




We’re using three 200-liter drums for our filtration setup:
- First drum: Filled with both small and large gravel for the initial filtration.
- Second drum: This one’s our sand filter, packed with both coarse and fine sand to catch those finer particles.
- Third drum: The charcoal filter, where the magic happens!
And guess what’s on the agenda for tomorrow? We’re crushing charcoal and giving it a good wash to ensure it’s clean and ready for action!
Stay tuned for more updates on our journey! 💪✨
