Updates: How to build a rainwater collection wall with plastic bottles

Please forgive us if you do not speak Spanish you must remember the u.s. is not the only one with ideas and Technology. We will try and give you a English version understanding what you are seeing.
Description: A typical SCALL implemented at the household level consists of the following sections: system or surface of capture (roof, jagüeyes), system of collection of water or of distribution (channels), deviator of first rains (first flush) and system or area water storage (cistern, tank). Depending on the use that you want to give the water may be necessary to incorporate filters or purifiers. The SCALL is a technology adaptable to urban and rural areas; there are rustic, sophisticated, high-cost, domiciliary, community, and so on. The installation of SCALL in homes that already have water storage infrastructure, such as a cistern, is generally low cost and does not require a change of habits by users. Printed below, need at the bottom is a description on how to take this system and put on a water filter, one of the water filters we used is zero water. We also says with a small electrical system we're able to take out micro biological viruses and pathogens that could contaminate your water like e-coli. The high intense electricity will kill such things and the filter will get string them out.

Remember to add this technology to your rain water catchment treatment center DIY Style.
The pulsed electrical discharge destroys micro-organisms in liquid, essentially sterilizing the water, without the use of toxic chemicals or filters. The plasma creates highly reactive OH radicals (e.g. hydroperoxl, hydrogen peroxide, super oxide O2) that break down organic contaminants into carbon dioxide and water.
Purification
For Water Recycling or Point-of-Use Applications
Scientists at NASA's Glenn Research Center have discovered a unique water purification method that can be used for water recycling or point-of-use applications. Eliminating costly consumables like chemicals or ultraviolet lamps, and relying on only electrical energy, this technology uses plasma-generated reactive species to decompose organic contaminants, ranging from submicron particles to water soluble organics like glycol, ethanol, and industrial dyes. This technology has multiple applications, including the treatment of water for industrial, agricultural, healthcare, oil and gas extraction, sewer and storm water, livestock, and pharmaceutical uses.
Benefits
  • Environmentally friendly: Does not introduce toxic chemicals into liquids
  • Readily available: Provides clean water on-demand
  • Accessible: Accommodates large-volume, high-throughput applications and works with in-volume and in-line water feed systems
  • Simple: Operates without filters, which can often become fouled or punctured
  • Durable: Housed in a self-contained unit
  • Highly antiseptic: Attacks and destroys microbes
Applications
  • Wastewater treatment
  • Pharmaceutical and food and beverage water treatment
  • Pretreatment of contaminants
  • Point-of-use drinking water
  • Groundwater treatment
  • EPA Superfund site cleanup
  • Hydraulic fracturing water reuse
The Technology
The Glenn water purification system has application in wastewater treatment
The Glenn water purification system has application in wastewater treatment
Highly oxidizing water treatments, like ozonation and UV-ionization, have proven useful in removing organics from water, but they require high capital costs and high amounts of wasteful energy consumption. Glenn's approach to water purification uses high-voltage, nanosecond-pulsed, non-equilibrium plasma to treat water. The pulsed electrical discharge destroys micro-organisms in liquid, essentially sterilizing the water, without the use of toxic chemicals or filters. The plasma creates highly reactive OH radicals (e.g. hydroperoxl, hydrogen peroxide, super oxide O2) that break down organic contaminants into carbon dioxide and water. The nano-pulses ensure that only enough energy is produced to destroy the contaminant without heating up the water, eliminating the need for cooling loops or downtime that is associated with other processes (such as UV-ionization). NASA's water purification technology relies only on electricity and can be scaled to meet a wide range of needs, from small portable units that purify drinking water in disaster relief to million-gallons-per-day industrial applications. This technology is simple, straightforward, and low cost, with virtually no consumables nor byproducts. Furthermore, the plasma pulse technology can function as a stand-alone purification process or as an add-on to existing solutions as a polishing step.

In addition, this invention is very easy to make in your home, and not only will it help you save water (and money in its assembly), but it can also be extremely useful in very dry regions, where there are shortage problems of this resource so vital. 

The system created by the Colombian Ricardo Alba and his sons Ricardo and Jessica, was baptized as "Ekomuro H2O" , and has been a Regional Finalist in the Science Fair of Google 2012, nominated for the Sciencie in Action Award of Scientific American, and candidate for the prize "Water, source of life" of UN- Water 2014; among other recognitions worldwide. 

Involves a rainwater harvesting mechanismwhich is created modularly using 54 PET bottles of 2.5 or 3 liters capacity. These are interconnected with each other, forming a vertical water tank, which is very resistant and also occupies very little space, which is why it can be easily implemented in urban dwellings. 

At present, "Ekomuro H2O" has been installed in ten schools in Bogotá (Colombia), and has been replicated in other countries of the region such as Brazil, Chile, Guatemala and Honduras.

of course any plastic PVC pipes should replace with copper pipes where available or affordable.

First reason; 
Copper is considered an essential mineral for our body. Ayurveda recommends storingwater overnight in a copper jug and drinking it first thing in the morning for maintaining good health. The water stored this way is called 'Tamra Jal' and it helps to balance all three doshas (Kapha, Vata and Pitta.)
But not every person can afford such expensive materials such as copper come so filtration is the next best thing.

100-Year-Old Way to Filter Rainwater in a Barrel During our boiling, broiling, blistering summer of 2012 here in the Missouri Ozarks, water was a topic of conversation wherever we went. Creeks and ponds dried up (some never recovered) and the water table dropped, forcing a few neighbors to have their well pumps lowered or to even have deeper wells drilled.

WaterBuck blog rain barrel











Many folks shared memories of rain barrels, cisterns, hand pumps and drawing water with a well bucket as a child, usually on grandpa and grandma’s farm. Some said they’d never want to rely again on those old-time methods of getting water. But, at least they knew how it was done.
It seems we have lost much practical knowledge in the last 50 or so years because we thought we’d never need it again. Now we are scrambling to relearn those simple know-hows.
A tattered, 4-inch thick, 1909 book I happily secured for $8 in a thrift store reveals, among umpteen-thousand other every-day skills, how to make homemade water filters. The instructions in “Household Discoveries and Mrs. Curtis’s Cookbook” are quite basic as everyone had a rain barrel back then and presumably knew how to filter rainwater. Now, 104 years later, I am thankful the authors had the foresight to preserve their knowledge for us, and pointed out that rainwater collected in barrels from a roof is a necessity in some locations, but also is best for laundry and “often more wholesome for drinking purposes than hard water.”

The “wholesome” observation applies to plants, too. I noticed during our 6-week dry spell (not a drop of rain) that I was only able to keep my vegetables alive with the garden hose – until our well, too, began sucking air. The pitiful potato, tomato and bean plants actually seemed petrified, like faded plastic decorations. Then, after a 2-hour rain shower, the plants miraculously leapt to life – vibrant, green and THRIVING. I did, too.
In early June last year, my husband surprised me with a 425-gallon water tank so I could water with nutritious rainwater, although it was August before any measure of water was in the tank. When the elusive rains finally paused briefly overhead, I was out in it with my 2-gallon watering can, running and sloshing the water like a crazy woman onto our neglected trees far up the hill.

100-year-old instructions

For gardening, rainwater is, naturally, best unfiltered. But, for household use, the vintage book says the following instructions yield a cheap and easy way to make a filter just as good as a patent filter costing 10 times as much:
“Take a new vinegar barrel or an oak tub that has never been used, either a full cask or half size. Stand it on end raised on brick or stone from the ground. Insert a faucet near the bottom. Make a tight false bottom 3 or 4 inches from the bottom of the cask. Perforate this with small gimlet holes, and cover it with a piece of clean white canvas.

“Place on this false bottom a layer of clean pebbles 3 or 4 inches in thickness; next, a layer of clean washed sand and gravel; then coarsely granulated charcoal about the size of small peas. Charcoal made from hard maple is the best.
“After putting in a half bushel or so, pound it down firmly. Then put in more until the tub is filled within 1 foot of the top. Add a 3-inch layer of pebbles; and throw over the top a piece of canvas as a strainer. This canvas strainer can be removed and washed occasionally and the cask can be dumped out, pebbles cleansed and charcoal renewed every spring and fall, or once a year may be sufficient.
“This filter may be set in the cellar and used only for drinking water. Or it may be used in time of drought for filtering stagnant water, which would otherwise be unpalatable, for the use of stock. This also makes a good cider filter for the purpose of making vinegar. The cider should first be passed through cheese cloth to remove all coarser particles.
