Water filtration and purification system and method using activated charcoal and barley straw

摘要

A water filtration system and method combining the porous, filtering medium of activated charcoal with anti-algae effects of barley straw. Ground activated charcoal and ground barley straw are compressed into filtration matrices. Compressed filtration matrices are configured to be housed within a mesh container and for placement within an open pond or water tank. The water filtration system and method filters contaminants and inhibits algae growth in the water, thus cleaning, filtering, and clarifying the water.
