Canister Filter
Posted: Mon Mar 09, 2015 9:13 am
Canister filter caught my fancy about 4-5 yrs back when i first saw it at abhishek gaur place, but at that time i had small tank so didnt find it worth buying. Later i saw post of Hamza from Hyd, about making excellent canister filter, its one of the best till date and a true perfectionist DIY caniter filter.
It gave lot of insight into the mechanism of it and how to make it, but i was never able to gather all the raw material and hence lost the interest in it. This year i had privilage of seeing that filter in person and how good it was, long chats with Hamza, just re ignited the desire to make it, as now i had 2 tank about 50-60 liter kept out in sun. Which meant lot of dust and algae issue.
All that made me think again and gave the push to make it. I started thinking on the raw material, searched on net for ideas as getting canister rather a good sturdy canister was the main thing. I checked the stuff i already had, i had bought power head from rajeev in one of the meets , checked that it was up and running. Now the search for the canister began.
One day while going to office i saw an shop selling RO stuff, bang that was the idea for the canister.
Walked in the shop and bingo that guy really understood my requirements and gave the stuff i needed.
Here is the list of items
1. RO filter canister
2. .5 inch PV pipe, about 2 ft
3. .5 inch stopper to block 1 end of the pipe
4. 1 pipe to tap fixer
5. utensil washing nylon srubs
6. Poly wool
7. active carbon
8. power head
9. some .5 inch plastic pipe,
10. about 2 ft RO pipe, broad one, its used to connect RO pump to filter
11. 1 RO pipe T
Thats it.
Details on how to assemble it will follow on,
