In the industrialized word, small numbers of bio-sand filters are sold to the owners of holiday
homes or cabins in remote areas. Large, complicated and computer-controlled units are used by
small industries, town water supplies or agricultural enterprises. However, in its simplest form, the
bio-sand filter is almost exclusively promoted for use by individual families living in developing
countries.
Obviously, the bio-sand filter doesn't provide a solution for every water problem. However, its

such as through:
- Small-scale micro-projects;
- Mass approach;
- During emergencies.
