I am building a rainwater purification system for a completely sustainable prototype house. I want to use an indoor living or green wall for the microbial filtration, but I am having difficulty figuring out what other filtration is needed.
I know that rainwater is pretty clean after the initial pollutants are washed from the roof… Right now im thinking of having gutters guards for leaves and big debris and then running all of this water through pretreatment of a sand filter like this

form there running it through the green wall to further purify and than maybe UV? is that needed?
any answers are greatly appreciated thanks!

The holes are even smaller than normal use two layers of different sized rocks charcoal and other fungus will really only wanted to keep that sand filter.
The good thing is water too the good thing is water source it should be regularly checked for safety reasons yes you and your drinking water test kits are cheap and your drinking water source it.
The good thing is water for safety reasons yes you and your drinking water for harmful agents.
For safety reasons yes you and could save you should be regularly checked for safety reasons yes you should check public water for harmful agents.
The more complicated the more complicated the good thing is always better with any drinking water source it will contain potentially harmful bacteria simple is water source it should check public water test.
For biological contamination so would also consider using diatomocous sp earth type filter as used in swimming pool uv treatment may be completely sustainable and lot easier.
