CISTERN Fitters Select Brick Partition Filter Method
The best filter for a brick cistern is a brick partition with the pump on one side and the receiving pipe on the other. Build a curved, swelling partition, leave gaps in the bottom course, and place a brick wall about a foot from it on the receiving side. Fill the space with gravel sand charcoal and fine sand. The receiving pipe should avoid splashing the filter. A cistern built this way yields purer water than any spring or well and can be refreshed by replacing the filter packing.
