Stéfani São João Brazilian Clay Water Filter (4 L - 1 gal)

Product Information

In rural villages all over the globe, people – usually women and children – fill buckets and jerry cans from a communal faucet or from a natural source that may be over an hour’s walk away. These samples were chosen because they represent a range of different geographies and there was enough sample available for the testing.

No, please empty the amphora and leave the cork off or ajar so that air can circulate on the inside. But, it is great that you followed your instincts and that you are now able to transform your tap water and that you no longer need to by bottled water. As the wet unbaked amphora is moved, sometimes a thumb mark, or some other impression is left on the body of the clay. If you are in the EU, or abroad, please be aware that there will be customs charges and possibly other duties and that responsibility rests with you!Water which is kept in a Clay Amphora retains most of its minerals as the amphoras do not soften the water. The images in the left-hand columns of the CM and CWF sets were analyzed using channel 2 (Images A, C, E, G, I, K), and the right-hand columns are images from channel 1 (Images B, D, F, H, J, L). In addition to its eco-friendly aspects, Amphora Clay pots offer a form of filtration that helps reduce impurities, sediment and certain bacteria from water.

We believe in promoting sustainable and eco-friendly solutions that not only benefit individuals, but also the environment. Additionally, the simplicity and accessibility of this solution make it an ideal option for communities in developing countries, empowering them with sustainable water solutions. CWFs are also low cost, easy to use, and use local craftsmanship, making them socially acceptable for drinking water treatment [ 5, 8, 9, 10].Comparison of laser grain size analysis with pipette and sieve analysis: A solution for the underestimation of the clay fraction. Here, Atterberg testing and biofilm formation analysis were used to determine if the properties of CM used at CWF factories around the world significantly differ. CWFs improve the microbiological quality of drinking water and reduce the burden of diarrheal diseases in under-served communities at the household level [ 4, 5, 6, 7]. Well-established geosciences, environmental, and geotechnical engineering methodologies were used to evaluate the CM studied.

The differences measured in the biofilm formation analysis could have an important impact on the CWF manufacturing process. When the pot is filled to the base of the neck, the water is contained within the egg-shaped belly of the pot. The clay material of the amphora removes some of the impurities and improves the health parameters of tap water without the need for electricity, complex machinery or plastic replacement parts.Every condition was measured with triplicate samples and ten or eleven spots were analyzed for each sample (this is 32 measurements per condition). But there are two caveats: while many contaminants stay behind, viruses slip through; and where the jugs are poorly made, or cracked, or not regularly cleaned out, bacteria will accumulate inside them. Water is added to the mixture of CM and burnout material and the resultant paste is pressed up to 1000 PSI using a hydraulic press to give the desired shape to the filter [ 19].
