Dirty water experiment

Diluting the water we tipped out 100 ml of of dirty water and added 100 ml's of clean water we then repeated this process twice. 

We then got out a metal retort stand,clamps,funnels and a concrete base a cloth and a piece of filter paper. First we screwed the retort stand into the base. Attached the clamps to the stand. We then put the funnels in the clamps in the top funnel we put the cloth and directly under it in the next funnel we put the filter paper.

When we used the funnels and the retort stand we tipped our dirty water into the top funnel and it filtered through and dripped into the next funnel. The top funnel had a cloth which helped to take out the bark,rocks and big clumps of dirt and in the second we had a piece of filter paper which caught the tiny pieces of dirt that where to small and went through the cloth. After going through the funnels it drips into the beaker underneath.

Did it work? Yes it semi did it separated the bark dirt and rocks from the water but after going through in the process overall the water did have any insoluble objects left in it and didn't seem to look as dirty all though it did have a yellow tinge in it.

Would I change anything? If I were to do this again the yes I would do it differently I would dilute it more then what we did.
