History of the Water Filter - 1

 



Historians believe people began using some form of water filters over 4000 years ago! Water filters can be traced to the earliest human civilizations when written records began. Throughout history, people have always tried to improve the aesthetics and safety of water used for drinking and bathing.

It was in the 5th century BC that Hippocrates, the father of medicine, began conducting experiments in water purification. He is credited with inventing the practice of water sieving. He developed the first bag filter, the ‘Hippocratic sleeve’ made of cloth. The cloth would be used to trap any sediments that were causing the water to smell or taste bad.

The first records of water filtration experimentation are those of Sir Francis Bacon in 1627. Although he did not meet much success, his experiments ushered in a new interest in water filter experimentation.
