How to Make a Simple PVC Tap Water Filter
From your Saltwater Aquariums Guide
With this simple do-it-yourself PVC tap water filter you can achieve about the same results as with a more costly commerical TWP (Tap Water Purifier).
Difficulty Level:
Easy
Time Required:
30 minutes or less
Here's How:
- Cut a desired length of 2 & 1/2 inch PVC pipe.
- Drill a hole in the center of the end cap, of a suitable size to match the vinyl hose diameter for insertion or attachment.
- Attach the end cap to one end of the PVC pipe.
- Attach a desired length of the vinyl hose to the drilled hole in the end cap.
- Roll up a piece of Poly-Bio-Marine Inc.'s Poly Filter material and place it inside the PVC pipe and add the carbon.
- Simply pour or run tap water down through the open end of the PVC filter and direct the treated water that comes out of the vinyl hose to your tank or storage container.
Tips:
- This DIY project was contributed by Don Carner, and any inquires about it should be directed to him.
- 100% silicone sealant can be used to seal the vinyl hose and end cap connection.
