DIY Solar-Powered Water Filter That Kills 99.9% of Bacteria – Open Source & Under $30!
Hey DIYers! I’ve been working on an open-source water filtration system called KidneyLoop — designed to bring clean water to underserved regions. It uses UV-C light and 0.1μm filtration to kill 99.9% of bacteria in just under 10 minutes per 5-gallon cycle. You can build it for as little as $28 using local parts! There are versions for households, hiking, disaster relief, even full community systems — all totally free to use, modify, and share (Creative Commons Zero). Build guides, white papers, and everything you need here: [https://github.com/Polymath8/KidneyLoop-Water-Filtration] Would love your feedback, ideas, or even wild redesigns. Let’s make clean water a reality for everyone! KidneyLoop #DIYWaterFilter #OpenSource submitted by /u/Kind-Ad-9399 [link] [comments]
