rainwater harvesting with a slow sand filter


Uploaded on Feb 17, 2010

Capture the rain! (Now legal in Washington state). A quick look at roof water harvesting using a slow sand filter combined with a diverter.

This is an overview of the procedure and a demonstration of a working system. An instructional video on how to build a system can be found here:

See http://www.slowsandfilter.org and http://www.shared-source-initiative.c... for lots more information on these filters.

Also http://www.roofwaterharvesting.org and http://www.enlight-inc.com/blog/ are two sites that have detailed instructions on how to build one of these filters.
