Got a water container from a friend which was otherwise going in a recycle bin. We then cut open the upper top for a wider rim.
A short wash to the pebbles picked up from a friend's garden.
There goes the first layer- big stones/ pebbles
Then the second layer - small stones/pebbles
The third layer- fine natural sand, which was available in Home Depot for $5.00 a bag.
The fourth and most expensive layer of the project- activated carbon, available at pet store for $ 9.99
Fifth and optional layer- aquarium filter, available at pet store for about $7.00
My first ever home made sand-gravel water filter. Ready to be tested with simulated bath water.
My foster kitty Grobin made sure the filter- building went smoothly :)
