Abstract
A porous grog with a body composition of water, clay and combustible material. Further, an earthenware water purification filter utilizing the porous grog in the body composition of the filter. Further, an earthenware filter utilizing silver chloride treatment for water disinfection is disclosed. A water purification system incorporating said filter, said water purification system capable of removing about 99% of all particles not less than 1.0 micron is size, and removing virtually 100% of fecal coliform indicators. In other embodiments, methods of disinfecting pottery toilet liners including various open surfaces using silver chloride treatment are disclosed.
Claims3

- and
- wherein said layers comprises silver chloride;
- wherein said contaminated water passing in order through said top layer, said first intermediate layer and said second intermediate layer.
A device for purifying contaminated water, said device comprising:
- top and bottom backflush layers comprising porous grog or crushed brick particles or mixture thereof having particle sizes of 10 to 20 mesh;
- a central purifying bed layer comprising porous grog having particle sizes 30 to 100 mesh;
- with a further, single digit percentage addition of sub 100 mesh grog for adjusting flow rate downward;
- wherein said backflush layers and intermediate layer further comprises silver chloride;
- and wherein said contaminated water passing in order through said top backflush layer, said intermediate layer and said bottom backflush layer.
A device for purifying water, said device comprising:
- a container and silver chloride treated red-brick particulate grog, said silver chloride treated red-brick particulate grog is prepared by crushing red-brick to about 30 grog, saturating the crushed red-brick with silver nitrate salt, drying the silver nitrate saturated crushed red-brick, and saturating the dried silver nitrate saturated crushed red-brick with salt water.
