Abstract – This paper presents fabrication and
carbon, chemical chlorination.
experimentally investigates the working of Pedal Powered Water Pump filtration (WFV) along with its purification which had used for pure drinking water supply and garden irrigation. WFV will consist of a centrifugal pump operated by pedal power. Water is the most basic necessity for life yet nearly one billion people in the world lack to access it. Given that our design must target a demographic that includes some of the poorest regions in the world, reliability is one of the primary factors incorporated into the design. The functionality of the pump and filter system needs to require as little maintenance as possible. The design must also be userfriendly as the assumption will be made that users will have no experience with any vehicle of this type. Once the design is optimized, materials within the build will be considered to find the most cost-effective method of manufacturing. The results indicate that the WFV will give a considerable amount of discharge and head.
This project proposes to take on challenges associated with the accessibility and cleanliness of water in developing countries by designing and building a filtration system and sidecar that are portable, durable, and cost-effective. Water purification is the process of removing undesirable chemicals, biological contaminants, suspended solids and gases from contaminated water.

1.1 Principle of operation This design is composed of a peristaltic pump powered by paddling, a carbon filter and hose or flexible tube as shown in Fig.1. An operator sits on the seat and pedals, the pedal crank transfer the motion to the rotor thus the rollers. The tube is squeezed by the set of rollers to move the fluid. By constricting the tube and increasing the low-pressure volume, a vacuum is created to pull the liquid into the tube. Once in the pump, the liquid is pushed through the tube by compressing the tube at a number of points in contact with the rollers. The media is moved through the tube with each rotating or oscillating motion. The water is then forced through a filter which removes chemicals, bad taste and smell, pollutants, turbidity and other micro-organisms.
From fig 1 seen that, Drinkable water sources are distant from most villages in Ghana. Women and children especially spends hours of labour just to meet the basic needs of their families. The goal of this process is to produce water fit for human consumption (Drinking water).It is also used for other purposes, including meeting the requirements of medical, pharmacological, chemical and industrial applications. In general the methods used include physical processes such as filtration, sedimentation, and distillation, biological processes such as slow sand filters or biologically active

The objective of this work is therefore to design a mechanism to be used with water filter to supply purified water for villages by harnessing the human pedal power and the nearby streams in these villages in order to reduce the labour, cost and weariness caused by transporting and sanitizing drinkable water for use in the homes
