Abstract
The goal of reasearch to treat water by filtrationusing filter media consisting of gravel with average
diameter is 0.5 to 1.5 cm thick as 15 cm at the bottom, sand with an average diameter of 0.2 to 0.4 mm
thick as 70 cm at the middle section and gravel with average diameter on 0.5 to 1.5 cm thick as 15 cm at
the top. It can be used to reduce the hardness, total dissolved solid (TDS),neutralizes of pH and cleared
the color of peat water.Analisis result of sample without coagulant is 24.7% for decrease hardness
efficiency, 9.79% for total dissolved solid (TDS),pH neutralize is 96.4% and for sample with coagulant is
24.7% for decrease hardness efficiency, 74% for total dissolved solid (TDS) and pH neutralize is 98.4%
while the color changed of the peat water, without coagulant is yellow-brown color changed to
white, with coagulant is yellow-brown to white translucent.
