Rain Water Convert to Drinking Water
You can absolutely make rainwater drinkable at home using sand, carbon, and UV filtration. This is often called a multi-stage rainwater purification system. Here is how it works step by step:
Rainwater Purification System
1. Pre-filtration (Before Sand & Carbon)
- First flush system: The very first rain carries dust, bird droppings, and debris from the roof. A diverter (first flush) should send this away.
- Mesh filter / leaf screen: Stops leaves, twigs, and larger particles before water enters the tank.
2. Sand Filter (Sediment Filtration)
- A slow sand filter or a pressure sand filter is installed after the storage tank.
- Sand traps suspended solids, dirt, rust, and fine particles.
- Layers of gravel at the bottom + fine sand at the top create natural filtration.
- Needs periodic backwashing or replacement.
3. Activated Carbon Filter
- Removes bad Odor, colour, chlorine, pesticides, and organic impurities.
- Carbon adsorption improves taste and removes chemical pollutants that sand cannot catch.
- Works best after sand filter (so it does not clog quickly).
4. UV Sterilization (Disinfection)
- UV light chamber exposes water to ultraviolet rays.
- This kills bacteria, viruses, and pathogens without adding chemicals.
- Works only if water is already clear (sand + carbon ensure clarity).
5. Optional Final Polishing
- A fine micron cartridge filter (5µ or 1µ) can be added before UV to catch very fine particles.
Flow of System in House
- Roof → Leaf guard → First flush diverter
- Storage tank (covered, mosquito proof)
- Sand filter → Carbon filter → Cartridge filter
- UV purifier → Kitchen tap (drinking water outlet)
Maintenance Tips
- Clean roof & gutters regularly.
- Replace sand every 2–3 years, carbon every 1–2 Years.
- UV lamp needs yearly replacement to stay effective.
- Storage tank must be sealed from insects, and cleaned at least once a year
Rainwater Is Pure, Free, and Now—Perfectly Safe
