Its true that the companies who sell RWH is charging exorbitant prices for filters which would never filter out the dissolved clay, eventually settles down in the sump. Keeping that in mind I have designed a sand, jelly, charcoal filter with mosquito mesh separating them. It takes good amount of time to collect materials and assemble them but its worth every paisa. I really appreciate your time and efforts to share the knowledge.

Sir, it's really awesome..
I was in search of a 'DIY filter', for the rain water harvesting in my house.. Ofcourse,at present, harvested water is let into open soil surface which I have for about 50sqft in my house.
You have presented a video, very timely, unique and comprehensive..
The filter is cost-effective too, besides serving the purpose..
Infact,I have seen all 3 videos of the topic...
Let me try doing it on my own and convey for issues, if any...
Thanks a lot for a very constructive presentation and my best wishes for your continued services..
👏👏🙏🙏
Thank you and wish you all the best... You are welcome for clarifications required, if any. 👍😊

Perfect design add some activated carbon (charcoal) in side the filter
Good suggestion, however it would slowdown the filtration process. Instead we can consider a seperate filtration pit filled with activated charcoal at the final delivery end. 👍
Great idea for implementation. Great efforts.

Super Sir do more ideas
Thank you and all the best.
Sir really appreciate your practical approach to display of diagram, spares for assembling as well installation in a systematic way through video presentation regarding RWH.
I have assisted more than 100 houses while RWH structures were installed at Chennai. Now we have done for a temple & allowed to deliver the rain water so collected in the terrace of temple pond near Karaikudi. We have some more pipes to be covered because, the problem of abishekam water also gets mixed with this rainwater. So if any technology is there to filter the abishekam water ,please let me know. Please reply.
Thank you.
In the absence of a schematic diagram I am not in a position to visualise the on-site conditions. Assuming we have separate channels or pipe lines laid down, that is one for the Rain Water and the other one for draining the Abhishekam Water. In such a case we can fix a Water Filter (large size) in the Abhishekam pipe line or channel and that filter chamber can be got filled with FINE RIVER SAND and ACTIVATED CHARCOAL instead of mosquito net alone. In this method the Abhishekham water will get filtered to a large extent. However, the filtration speed will be slow and the inflow and outflow may not be in the same proportion.
Hope this meets your requirements. If you need any further clarification let me know.
Thank you and all the best.
@@gunaslenspeaks6795 Sir, the size of pipeline carrying rainwater from temple roof is about 8 inch. Upon landing inside temple in drain chamber the rainwater is mixed with the abishekam water. Together it runs below underground drain. Hence we are unable to collect them separately, outside the premises. Like this 3 such channeIs were, there
@@gunaslenspeaks6795 The temple roof water is taken down through 3 pipes of 8 inch size. Then it mixes with the abishekam water in the chamber and then through the underground temple construction drain it goes out of the temple premises. Hence we are unable to separate them, due to underground drain system. The rain water alone can't be taken out before the chamber, due to the fact that underground drain is of stone construction with a size of approximately 4 inch depth & 6 inch breadth. The length is about 50 feet. Please suggest me how to harvest that rainwater & conserve in the pond. As such we have fixed 4 inch PVC pipes all around the temple from 28 delivery points & channelled in to the temple pond.
My email id is kamala.annamalai@gmail.com . Suitable suggestions are always expected. Thank you Sir.
@@annamalaim8304 In the instant case, the Abhishekham Water coming out from the Moolasthanam will have to be filtered before it's collected in the drain chamber. Is it possible to fix/construct a filter chamber with sand and charcoal to collect the Abhishekham Water for filtration?!!
Normally the outlet from moolasthanam will be atleast one foot above the ground level and so I think a filter or a filtration chamber can be fixed there and the filtered water from this chamber can be allowed to flow into the main drain chamber.
I need a diagram of the location to have better understanding.
Very Informative and simple..Would it be possible to list down the list of items/QTY used for quick understanding.....Regards
Kind of Bill of Materials (BOM)......it would be. great if the BOM is that suits 4" Pipe which is used to collect Terrace water...Thanks in advance...
I think the material requirements can be arrived at depending on the site conditions and expected quantum of rain water to be harvested. You may watch parts - 2,3 & 4 also to have more inputs.. 👍
@@gunaslenspeaks6795 Thanks a Lot..
Gunaji, the 6 inch MTA with thread, threaded end cap not available in banglore, thus frustrated since I was very much impressed by this filter and was about to make one.
Well, you can consider making it with 3" and 5" pipes if found feasible and these sizes would be available. Another gentleman from Bangalore had the same issue and finally he got it procured from the shop (Asha Enterprises) from where I bought which is located at No. 1, Thambi Cherry street in Chennai's George Town area (044 2522 0933) through one of his friends. You may give a try.
Really fantastic and cost effective.
Where you bought these required materials could you pls share the shop address or online link ?
I am in Chennai and trying to get reducer tee no where its available in my surrounding same for MTA and end cap also 😭
Required materials are available in Georgetown area - Thambuchetty Street. You may contact M/s. Asha Enterprises, # 1, T C Street, Chennai- 1 from whom I procured the materials.

If the rain s more than 12mm ND f the terrace is naked cement, in few minutes itself the water clogging may occur n this, so much dirt can come. Hope u hve tested it.
It has been checked... it also depends on the size of the terrace that is the catchment area... It's advisable to keep the terrace always clean... The drain valve on the diverter can be opened to clear of the initial flow filled with dirt and other bigger particles... Besides I have fixed three RWH filters connected to four drain pipes... It's working fine... Thank you.
Hi, thanks for a great concept and presentation. I've been trying to do something like this for my own 90 year old sloped roof bungalow and well.
My main question is whether we can improve the efficiency of the filter by introducing sand and activated charcoal in the filter tube. Currently the only filter is the mosquito mesh. However this will not be adequate to treat the bird droppings which accumulate on the roof and then flow down with the water. So if we can add caps at both end of the filter and instead of keeping it hollow add a layer of fine river sand and top with a layer of activated charcoal. This will remove additional micro particles and also remove the odors from the rain water.
Awaiting your response! Thanks!
Thank you.
Well I feel that adding sand and activated charcoal in the filter tube itself would drastically reduce the filtration speed and thus may lead to clogging of the filter unit besides leading to stagnation of Rain Water on the terrace as the inflow and the outflow would be disproportionate. In your case presuming that the RW is collected through the pipe channels placed at the edge of slopped roof, the copious RW collected during heavy rains may stagnate on those channels leading them to overflow/spill over.
In my opinion, we can collect the filtered RW into a Syntex (2k or 3k litres) tank at the ground floor (1st stage) and then release the filtered RW from that tank to another filtration unit (filled with sand and activated charcoal) (2nd stage) connected to the outlet at the bottom level (to ensure adequate water pressure/force) of the Syntex tank in a graduated manner and the outlet from that 2nd RWHF can be connected to the open well. In this process the speed of inflow from terrace can be maintained and the speed of outflow can be regulated so that stagnation, overflow/spill of harvested RW can be avoided./minimised.
Hope this would meet your requirements.
Wish you all the very best.
@@gunaslenspeaks6795 Thank you so much for your prompt response! I agree that the concern you have voiced was also playing at the back of my mind... A marine engineer friend who is helping me with this, suggested that we could make two filters, one within the other... One could be the nylon mosquito mesh and the other can be a very fine mesh made of bronze.. If we can find one. The SS ones invariably will rust within a year or so. We are going shopping today for these items so let's see what we find. Another problem our plumber pointed out is that using pvc in combination with upvc leads to problems in that the joints between the two don't fit exactly. Getting pvc valves is another problem in our rural area. So let's see what we can find!
Thanks once again for your ideas and suggestions!
@@MarzbanHathiram Thank you and welcome.
@@gunaslenspeaks6795 Further to my reply yesterday, we finally managed to get everything and the filter has been successfully installed! Now we await the rain gods to check the system.

Sir, I got the borewell at my home. Can I send water directly into borewell by making 2-inch hole in the casing? There is no space to make PIT around it. Please advise
You may but it would depend on the quantum of the RW collected from the terrace, if it's of small quantity then there should not be any problem but if it's copious then the borewell might overflow.
Instead you can store the RW harvested in a storage tank at the GF and resort to the graduated release of the water by installing a valve at the outlet of the storage tank. 👍
@@gunaslenspeaks6795 Thanks Sir, The terrace area is around 988 Sq FT. Currently, there is an RW system in place with a 2-inch outlet. Water flows to the Storage tank and excess water is getting wasted as there is no space to make PIT. If we can divert the excess water into Borewell during monsoon it will help. I will try with 1 inch to borewell. Btw this way recharge will not damage the submersible pump in the borewell, right?
@@hemalathak7783 Since the RW poured into the borewell is filtered and clean it should not affect the submersible pump. However, you may regulate the flow with the help of a valve system...
@@gunaslenspeaks6795 Alright Sir !! thanks again
Dear Respectable sir '

Hello Sir,
Thank you for such a valuable video. I am planning to implement it on my house. How can we use it to recharge the borewell. I meant to ask shall we just put the outlet of this filter to the top of borewell ?
Thank you. It would depend on the size of the terrace that is the catchment area. If the area is more than 1000 sft then it would not be advisable to direct the inflow from the terrace to the bore as the borewell may overflow with the copious rain water collected from the terrace. If you do not have an open well then I would suggest collecting of filtered rain water in a 2000 or 3000 litre Syntex tank placed in the ground floor and then can regulate the outflow to the borewell in a graduated manner please. In this way you will have a reserve tank with 2k or 3k litres of filtered water. Besides you can also connect an outlet from the Syntex tank to your sump (if you have one) and can regulate the outflow once the sediments in the filtered rain water settles down in the Syntex tank.
@@gunaslenspeaks6795 Thank you very much for your response Sir. Very much appreciated. My terrace size would be around 1400 sqft I guess. Here in this area, instead of having a Syntex tank, we make an undreground water tank to store the water. I can channelise the water flow into that tank and then make a setup to properly flow the water into borewell correct ?
@@ashishbisht9 I understand that you have a sump and in that case what you have proposed would work fine if there is a level difference between the underground tank and borewell mouth. If both are on the same height/level then we only the water overflowing from the underground tank will flow into borewell or we may have to install a water pump exclusively for this purpose. In case of the Syntex tank we can place it above the ground so that gradiant would be available and the water would flow down automatically.
Hi sir, Thanks for the detailed demo. Planning to make the filter by own. I have 4inch inlet pipe from terrace, so please let me know how much size the filter should be ?
Thanks in advance!
You can go in for 4" pipe for core filter and 6" pipe for the outer shell as I did. Alternatively, you can go in for 3" & 5" pipes as well and the size of the other fittings will also vary accordingly. Its preferable to have 2" difference in the size of the pipes. I can send you the diagram if you want.
Thank you & all the best.

@@vivekanandabharathi7369 Hi, diagram sent. You may subscribe to my channel. Thank you and all the best.
For 4 inch Inlet drain pipe shall we can use 5 inch pipe as filter?? please tell me sir
You can, but in that case during heavy rains possibilities of the RWH Filter getting chocked exists as the gap between the core and the outer shell all around will be hardly 1/2" only. If you can go in for 6" outer pipe it would be preferable.
Alternatively you can fix a 4" to 3" reducer at the mouth of the drain pipe and thus reduce the size of the drain pipe mouth to 3" in which case you can go in for a 5" pipe for the outer shell.
Hope this suffice. All the best 👍.
அருமை ஐயா, எனக்குதங்களின் மொபைல் எண் தர முடியுமா?
can you pls provide dimensional detals of the filter
Core filter is made of 4" pipe and the outer body is of 6" pipe. You may consider 3" core and 5" outer. Inlet into the core filter is of 3" pipe and the outlet from the filter is also of 3" pipe. You can consider 2 1/2" pipe as well. Length of the filter is 24" to 28". You can decide the size depending upon the quantum of water collected on the terrace please.
@@gunaslenspeaks6795 Thanks
In this design the outlet of the filter can be connected directly to bore well pipe and no need to make a chamber/tank around bore well inlet. Pls advise
@@eranupp It can be done and in such a case I would suggest 3 layers of mosquito net on the core of the filter as against 2 layers to improve the filtration efficiency.
However, I apprehend that during heavy rains when the Rain Water harvested is copious, the Bore Well may get filled and overflow as the speed at which the ground gets charged would not be equal to the inflow thereof. Hence, I would suggest that if feasible, try to divert a portion of the Rain Water harvested to any open well or to a sump or to a soak pit surrounding the Bore Well or to a storage tank wherein we can resort to graduated release of the water into the Bore Well.
Hope this would help. Wish you all the best.

Use of sleeve is not clearly explained. The inlet is 3 inch and the sleeve is made out of 4 inch pipe. How does it help in ensuring water does not go out of filter? Kindly explain
The sleeve is made out of 3" pipe and is inserted into the 3" pipe inlet so that it fits within the 4" core filter.👍
Video from 3.20 to 3.50 minutes explains it. Sleeve fits into 4" core filter pipe.
@@gunaslenspeaks6795 Still there are chances of water leaking out of the filter when filter gets blocked.
I made the same filter using your guidance in the video but i made 4 inch inlet with a sleeve in it. I made the filter with socket at one end and sleeve gets fixed into this socket end having rubber ring (push fit socket). Even if filter gets jammed water gets blocked before entering the filter itself. Thanks for the video sir. It was a great help for me.
Congratulations and all the very best..👍
Sir i need your help. My 6" threaded end cap at the bottom is leaking. I suspected this while buying since this did not have any rubber ring inside. Kindly help how to stop this leakage.

6" MTA would cost ₹ 210 each and 6" Threaded end cap about ₹ 235 each... It's available with PVC pipes and fittings dealers.
@@gunaslenspeaks6795 Thanks sir
Sir , if it's a 3" inlet piece on top of filter , how could a 4" filter be fitted to the 3" cut piece that you've fixed to the 3" pipe piece
I have cut a piece of 3" pipe and reduced its dia by cutting it vertically and made it as a sleeve which was inserted into the 3" inlet.
@ 3.25 minutes I have shown it.
The 3" sleeve from the 3" inlet will fit inside the 4" dia filter so that the RW flows into the filter.
But sir will that hold the filter firmly as if to hold it without support ??
@@ashwivasani1550 In my video I have shown that to ensure proper fixing and setting of the filter, I have used Sponge Brick at the bottom of the filter before closing the RWHF with End cap so that the filter is held firmly in it's place to facilitate proper inflow of water from the inlet.
440 sq.ft.home no place in side of the house.how can i save water in home sir
Assuming the terrace size and the carpet area as 440 sft. each, you can think of installing Syntex water tanks (rectangular in shape) on the lofts inside the house and can thus save the filtered Rain Water Harvested from terrace. Without much information I am not in a position to suggest much in this regard.
