Using a funnel, filter paper, tubing, charcoal, eyedroppers, sand, a cup, a pin how to make a water filter using sand filtration, oil and water separation, and charcoal absorption, how do you make a filter to get clean water

You need to study the subject. Making clean water is more than just stacking stuff in the right order. For example, charcoal has to be produced from certain kinds of wood, and it has to be activated by steaming before it is any good for cleaning water. Then it has to be flushed and reactivated after a certain amount of crud is collected. There are two kinds of sand filter and they are very different in operation.
To make a simple water filter using readily available items, you can create a makeshift version known as a "homemade water filter." Here's a basic guide on how to do it:
Materials you'll need:
Two plastic water bottles (cut in half)
Coffee filter or cloth
Activated charcoal (charcoal from a campfire can also work)
Sand
Gravel or small stones
Clean container to collect filtered water
Steps:
Prepare the bottles:
Take the two plastic bottles and cut off the top halves. You'll use the bottom halves to create your filter.
Prepare the first bottle:
Place a coffee filter or a piece of cloth at the bottom of the first bottle. This will act as your initial filter to remove larger particles.
Add activated charcoal:
Place a layer of activated charcoal on top of the coffee filter. Activated charcoal can help remove impurities and odors from the water.
Add a layer of sand:
Add a layer of sand on top of the charcoal. Sand can further filter out particles and impurities.
Add a layer of gravel or small stones:
Place a layer of small stones or gravel on top of the sand. This layer will help prevent clogging and provide additional filtration.
Prepare the second bottle:
Take the second bottle (the one without the filter materials) and cut off the bottom. This bottle will collect the filtered water.
Assemble the filter:
Invert the first bottle (the one with the filter materials) and place it inside the second bottle (the collection container). Make sure they fit together snugly.
Filter the water:
Pour contaminated water into the top of the first bottle (the one with the filter materials). The water will pass through the layers of coffee filter, charcoal, sand, and gravel, getting progressively cleaner.
Collect the filtered water:
The filtered water will collect in the second bottle. You can carefully pour this clean water into a clean container for use.
