Looking at your water will not tell you whether it is clean or dirty. You may need a water filter anyway, and you can make one yourself.

Because of the many toxins and pollutants in today's water, there are hidden dangers in drinking it. Don't think that just because your water supply does not look, taste or smell funny that it is perfectly clean and safe to drink.

Most of the harmful microbes in water cannot be seen, tasted or smelled and you may be drinking all sorts of things you don't want to drink.

There are a lot of particles in our water, just as there are air particles that are removed by an air cooler, and even though many of them are not at all harmful, you may not want to drink them. Even small amounts of bacteria will not harm us, depending upon the kind of bacteria it is. But if you are drinking impure water, and you are constantly exposed to harmful bacteria over a long period, this can have a negative effect on your health.

There is one sure way to find out about your water supply. If you would like to know what you are drinking each time you take a sip of water from the tap, bring a sample to a lab that specializes in water analysis and they can give you a full list of everything, good or bad, that is in the water you drink every day.

Once you have learned about what is in your water supply, you may want to run right out and buy a water filter system. However, there is a fun, cheap and interesting way to filter your water as well. If you are the Mr. Science type of person, you may want to try this system out.

Most of the supplies you need are already at hand. You will need a small plastic container, the kind that 3mm film comes in, a blade, a drill with a small drill bit, the caps from two water bottles and disposable coffee filters. With these, you can create the simplest and most basic water filter system.

Using the blade, cut a hole in the bottom of the plastic container. Next drill about 12 holes in one of the water bottle caps and put it in the container, with the holes in the cap matched up to the hole in the container. Stuff the coffee filters into the container and put the second bottle cap over the top of the container to keep the filters clean.

Now you have a small, light water filter that will filter sediment each time you place it over the faucet.
