Lab test on local canal water show 320 thermo-tolerant Faecal Coliform per
100ml
Test on the same water after passing through the Filter show only 1 T.F.C per 100ml
Performance of Bio-Sand Nadi Filters. Tests conducted at AHD + Oxfam GB Lab
Parameter of water quality
Purification effect of slow sand filtration
Colour 70% to 100% reduction
Turbidity Turbidity is generally reduced to less than 1 NTU
Faecal Coliforms 95% to 100%, and often 99% to 100%, reduction
Cercariae Virtual removal of cercariae of schistosomes, cysts and ova
Viruses Virtually complete removal Organic matter 60% to 75% reduction in COD Iron and manganese Largely removed
