Abstract

The quality of drinking water is very important for maintaining public health. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the combination of filter cloth, sand, and zeolite filter media in improving clean drinking water. The experimental method involved designing a multi-level filtration system using these three media and testing it on water containing light contaminants. The parameters tested included turbidity, pH, and solute content before and after filtration. The results showed that the combination of filter cloth, sand, and zeolite could reduce turbidity levels by up to 85%, stabilize pH close to neutral, and significantly reduce solute content. These findings suggest that a simple filtration system with a combination of these media can be an efficient and economical solution to provide clean water, especially in areas with limited access to water treatment technology.
