Filter and filtering method to inactivate helminth eggs and protozoan oocysts from water, using mesh filters, mounted in the conduit through which the water circulates in order to trap particles of larger dimensions than the passage of the filter, among which are find helminth eggs and protozoan oocysts, which are attacked with a dose of disinfectant, UVA light or high-temperature water, in which the means of attacking pathogenic microorganisms are located only in the filter area and/or or in the area where said pathogenic microorganisms are retained, which once they have been killed or sterilized are reincorporated into the system by turning the filter over or changing the direction of the water flow. |
