WHAT IS A BIOSAND FILTER?

A BioSand Filter is a simple, cost-effective, eco-friendly solution that utilizes a concrete vessel containing layers of fine sand and gravel. Contaminated water is poured on top, and gently flows down through the sand and gravel and finally out of the exit spout as clean drinking water! It’s effectiveness has been scientifically validated and is being successfully used in 66 countries around the world.

The filter removes the following water contaminants commonly found in rivers, lakes, wells, and ponds up to these levels:　

100% of viruses
99% of parasites, protozoa, amoebas, and worms
98% of bacteria
95% of zinc, copper, iron, lead
