The second step is filtering. First put the sand into the gauze pocket, put it at the bottom of the filter bucket, cover the outlet, put charcoal particles of different sizes on it, and then place pebbles in small to large sizes, and pour the precipitated water (sand, charcoal, pebbles should be covered by 5-10 cm). In the finished filtered water, add bleach powder in the proportion of 10 grams per cubic of water to disinfect, stir and dissolve and then place for 10 minutes. At this time, water is equivalent to tap water, and if it is drunk, it should be boiled. Domestic water can be recycled, do not easily dump it.
