Here the answer depends on the kind of homemade water purifier you make. Your choice will also be dictated by the state of the water you want to purify. Different filters will do different things for you.

If you are on a farm, for instance, and you are relatively sure that there are no harmful contaminants in the water and your only need is to filter out soluble impurities a simple sand filter will do the job.

On the other hand, if you need to filter out huge amounts of contaminants, you will have to make a carbon water filter. Carbon removes most of the bacteria and it also filters out chlorine in municipal tap water.

Making homemade water purifiers that has activated carbon as part of the filtering process is therefore essential if you think there are a lot of bacteria in your drink water or if you want to filter out chlorine in your drink water.
