Question
I need to build a sand filter for a shallow water well
Hi Bob, I searched the web for instructions on how to build a sand filter and came up with a blank. Never having worked on one I was suprised when I came across a diagram at Davnor's web site. Seems they manufacture a Bio Sand filtration unit. They are a lot more complicated then I thought they would be. Check it out at, http://www.davnor.com/biosand.html
Hope this helps and thank you for rating my reply. PS. If this were my project I would convert a old swiming pool filter after I cleaned it up and filled it with new sand. Good luck, Tom
