On the purpose of helping the inhabitants living in farming, fishing villages, and islands for more safe and hygienic water from simple waterworks, experimental investigations were performed concerning the development of a water purifier with silver nanomaterial packed, having a function of the auto-disinfection. The results show as follows through such filteration and auto-disinfection processes. It is possible to get hygienic and safe water, for example, more than 95% of general bacteria, total coliforms, and fecal coliforms were removed. It is also possible to get good-quality water, for 49.4% of spent potassium permanganate and 85% and 63% of turbidity and conductivity were removed respectively. It is a very effective equipment, for 100% cost reduction of used chemicals was achieved by no-chemical disinfection process and THM was not generated.
