Water is the main resource that enables life on our planet. The majority of the world population has access to drinking water, however, it is often polluted and does not meet standards of Regulations on drinking water. In our research, we developed a prototype of a filtration unit with the application of a gear pump to combat this problem. It eliminates health-threatening bacteria and other microorganisms from the water which makes it save for consumption. Filtration unit consists of the gear pump, filter, air relief valve, safety valve, and throttle valve. We were testing two different filters and tracking various parameters that indicate water pollution according to Regulations on drinking water in our country. It was determined that the most suitable filter is the Filter 1.
