About this work
Model of a filtration machine for purifying drinking water, painted brown. It is a flat, square container standing on a narrow side. Inside, a piping system is installed: a thick pipe with narrow branches runs diagonally from top to bottom, where a narrow horizontal pipe connects to it, which has an outlet on the side; on the other side, a narrow vertical pipe with an open end runs from slightly above the bottom upwards, where a tap is located on the side, and above that a small compartment where the pipe exits and is finished with a basket. Almost identical to NG-MC-577-1.
