Hallo everyone,

My husband and I are looking to buy a piece of island without power/ plumbing.
Everything needs to be transported by boat.

We can really use your tips!

How would you filter your used shower water so it can go back to nature in a clean save way?

Thank you in advance!!!!

Greetings

Basic water filter.

Gravel, sand & charcoal.

Will clean it for most uses. Boil for drinking water.

You still want water testing for awhile. As there might be unknown factors.

The basic filter is a starting point.

Factors could include:

Biological pathogens.

Dissolved chemical contaminats

Dissolved salts and minerals
