My Filter design- Will it work, Opinions greatly appreciated

I was bored in class today, so I doodled this one straight from my mind, you might see some influence from other filters .
What do you think? do you think it would be effective if it were real?
Instead of talking on others threads, I will make my own thread if I want to know something that is worth making a thread. A little Ironic I am making a thread about this, but hey, Im an engineer at heart.


Well anyways, I was thinking, maybe you can make a pressure filter that can be just as effective as a nexus and smaller. I cant say this is better because chances are, Its not, but its a good way to get good conversations going.

I thought of shiro utsuri and its ichimatsu pattern and then the horizontal pads thats some filters incorporate in their systems, I have heard through books that they prove to be quite effective, so I became a little creative and had the urge to combine the 2 concepts together. I am not sure if it has been though of before or not. The reason why I thought of it was, it would provide better flow and it wouldnt let the water come into contact with as much pads, especially if people dont clean their filters enough.

A purge semi chamber seemed like a good idea, so I added it in. The user would still have to go in everyone once in a while and clean the ichimatsu foam medium.

Do you think I am crazy yet?


EDIT: Sorry, but paint to photo doesnt work well when the font is too small, sincerest apologies. You may still be able to read it.
