Abstract
Research / experimental studies to determine the effect of filter media on the quality of filtered
water. The filter media used are zeolite and activated charcoal. Experiments were carried out to obtain good
water quality with the variables chosen were the ratio of the composition of the filter media, namely zeolite
and activated charcoal (R (%)), valve opening (Q (rotation)) and media volume (V (m)). The three
parameters are dependent variables that will be tested for their effect on the quality of the water from the
filtering process. From the test results, it will be found which variables have the most influence on the
quality of the filtered water. To determine the quality of filtered water, mix one teaspoon of diluted PAC
powder for one liter of filtered water, and leave it for 15 minutes so that the dirt is bound by the PAC and
floats on the surface of the water, then the thickness is measured. The thinner the dirt that floats, the better
the water quality. The experimental results show that the most influential variable is the ratio of filter media
with a thickness of dirt - 0.025 cm and a discharge with a thickness of 0.625 cm of dirt.
