PiFilt

Ce qu'il fait

Pifilt filters and cleans the used water flowing from the taps and allows the used water to be reused. It stores the filtered and cleaned water in any desired extra reservoir, allowing the water to be used in various situations.

Water levels in dams have been decreasing in recent years in our country and around the world as a result of decreasing precipitation rates and global warming.The increase in personal use at home and the fact that most of the wastewater is clean indicate that water scarcity will continue to be experienced at high levels in the future.In the face of all these negative situations,we humans cannot save water at home.But by preventing the water we use from going down the drain and into waste centers,we can clean the water we use for purposes such as washing dishes and cars,watering plants etc.and we will also have water to use in difficult times.

Comment ça marche

The pipe design connects to the sink water drain.1.Filter is attached to the pipe and 1.The water hose connected to the outlet of the filter is connected to the inlet of the water pump.The hose at the outlet of the water pump is connected to the inlet of the 2.filter. The output of the 2.filter is connected to the dosing pump inlet. The system works with 12V. After the connections are made, the water used is first cleaned a little in the section that will receive the coarse dirt as it flows into the pipe. Then, the water filled into the pipe is cleaned once as it passes through the 1st filter. Then, with the help of the water pump, it passes to the water tank where the second filter is connected. The water filtered in the second filter is slowly transferred to the extra water tanks at regular intervals with the help of the dosing pump. It makes the water accumulated in the water tank (cleaned from dirt and various bacteria) ready for use again.

Processus de conception

Draft drawings were made.Pipe designs were then investigated. A drain pipe with a partition and screw inlet to accommodate the filter was designed in the 3D drawing program. A filter was designed to fit this pipe. A box was designed to house the water pump, circuit boards and dosing pump, and a cover suitable for the inlets and outlets of the pumps. A water reservoir (tank) placed on this cover and a filter suitable for this reservoir were designed. The parts were printed with a 3D printer. Activated carbon, fiber, copper wire and sponge were added to the filters for better cleaning and filtering of water. and filters were installed. The filter designs and water tank are designed with a plug-and-remove technique for later cleaning or replacement. A printed circuit board containing the software card and necessary circuit elements was designed for the synchronous operation of the pumps. The circuit boards and pumps were screwed into place. A water leak test was performed by insulating the inlet and outlet of the water pump with liquid gasket.Soldering, wiring and joining were done. Finally, the parts were assembled and the project was made available by joining them.

En quoi est-il différent ?

Normal purification and filtering devices clean the mains water that we do not use. Pifilt prevents used water from becoming waste and cleans the used water by filtering it and makes it usable again. Under normal conditions, water used and turned into waste goes to filtering centers and this situation creates costs such as labor,electricity,taxes etc.for the country's economy. Pifilt prevents this and saves on excess costs Since water purifiers receive water from the mains, they do not work properly during water outages. And it filters the water we do not use. Pifilt filters the water we have previously used and makes it available for use in case of water cuts.And even if the water is cut off, it filters the water we use again and again. Other purification devices are costly due to the use of both electricity and water. Pifilt uses only electricity and by reusing the water we use, it is positive in terms of both cost and nature.

Plans pour l'avenir

A purifier can be installed at the outlet of the filtered water to make the water drinkable. By attaching the outlet of the Pifilt devices to the designed tap, the water used can be utilized in more than one way. We can also use our own taps by connecting the outlet of the water tank to the water pipeline. By further developing filters, we can make water drinkable without the need for purification devices. We can make the water used cleaner by installing a medicate system By utilizing the flow rate of water, a dynamo is designed into the pipe to produce electricity and thus we provide electricity to the device in this way.
