Please help me to make a water filter?
So i have sand gravel cotton balls and coffee filters. I have to put those into a cup. At the bottom of the cup there is a hole. You pour water into the cup then the materials filter the water to make it clean. I am asking what order should they go in and i have 2 coffee filters and can you put them in order from top of the cup to the bottom of the cup.

Mike M has got it.
Keep in mind that this will only filter out large particles. Viruses and the like will go right through all of those materials. It’s a cool experiment but just don’t expect to be able to drink the water out of your outhouse with it.
coarsest to finest with a double dose of coffee filter right at the bottom. the theory here is that you will filter out particles from biggest to smallest while maximising the flow rate. If you were to go smallest to biggest, all the larger particles will clog up the coffee filters and slow the whole process down. so, from top to bottom, go gravel, sand, cotton balls, then the filters.
