How is the fine sand specially prepared?

[spartan177saber]

@randy12368 it's not its just plain fine sand you can buy at home depot. The trick is running water through it a while so the "bio-layer" is built up enough to pull most of the bad stuff out

[randy12368]

@spartan177saber How long should one run water through the sand to build up enough bio-layer? thanks

[spartan177saber]

@randy12368 Just search for sand bio-filter how to's. I'm not quite sure but i think it seems to be about 3 weeks to get a decient start, a full month to be close drinking water and a few months to get rid of close to 100% of bacteria. But I'm no expert so do your own research

but? would it work with ocean water.

[RacerXGTO]

Suppose I happen to have a lot of diatomaceous earth powder?

[Jubalaganda]

[JuryDutySummons]

@Jubalaganda Yes, you can. 

[zanucktv]

can you use piss to filter it

[JuryDutySummons]

@zanucktv Yes, but it won't remove the salt.

[MrThefroster]

what does the diffuser plate have to slow down the water?



[etphonehome2915]

yes, it should slow down the water. I saw the answer in another video from this company..

[djwsimpson]

@MrThefroster, it is to preserve the bio-film on the upper layer of sand, this bacterial film consumes organics, nutrients and other (possibly harmful) bacteria.
