any bacteria it may have.
If you don't have any special device in your house,
today we will tell you how to make a water filter at
home and very easily.
You will need to:

 big stones as much as possible.
 Cotton

Unlike other sand filtration methods, slow sand filters

use biological processes to clean the water and reduce
the presence of microorganisms (bacteria, viruses,
microbes, etc.).
