The water purification is a process of removing undesirable physical and chemical contaminants from water. Water purification system proposed in this project focus on providing eco-friendly pathogen free water at low cost. There are various methods available for purification of water but they are not economically feasible for Rural people. Proposed system consists of combination of natural substances like sand, coarse aggregate, and chemicals. It is an effective method to remove harmful bacteria from water. This method can be made portable, cost effective and energy efficient which will be self-sufficient to meet the water needs. The water samples undergo the Physio-Chemical parameters tests. The results of after passing the water through the filter were found to be within the permissible limit for drinking and for domestic use. In this work an attempt was made to develop a “Low Cost Water Purifier”. The Designed Low-cost water purifier can be proved economical and efficient as it can be used in rural households.
