Aside from using sophisticated commercial products, it is possible to purify water with basic chemicals and filtration. If the source water is turbid then coagualation and flocculation followed by media (sand) filtration would be needed. This will also remove some of the pathogens. In the next step filtration over fresh activated carbon will remove most of the soluble pollutants and will improve the final disinfection by sodium hypochlorite (bleach) without generating noxious byproducts.
