Abstract

This study presents the development and evaluation of a portable multi-filter water filtration device tailored for low-income regions, aiming to design a cost-effective solution to address water quality challenges by removing contaminants and ensuring safe drinking water access, with key components such as filter housing, caps, bracket, lithium-ion battery, water pump, and switch integrated using Autodesk Inventor, a methodology involving systematic filter selection and experimental testing with municipal tap water and river water samples, showing significant reductions in metals, particulates, and impurities, despite limitations in microscopic analysis, with future efforts focusing on advanced imaging equipment and broader field trials to refine the device and meet specific community needs, contributing to the advancement of portable and affordable water filtration solutions for underserved populations.
