(i) and (ii).<\/p>\n<p>Slow sand filters are a type of water filter that uses a bed of sand to remove suspended particles and bacteria from water. They are typically used in small communities or individual homes. Slow sand filters have a slower filtration rate than rapid sand filters, but they are more efficient in removing bacteria.<\/p>\n<p>Slow sand filters work by passing water through a bed of sand. The sand traps suspended particles and bacteria, and the water slowly percolates through the bed. The sand is periodically cleaned by scraping off the top layer, which is called the schmutzdecke.
