Abstract

Populationin Lamaru RT. 20 East Balikpapan around 150 households still use ground water and rainwater to meet the needs of bathing, washing and latrines because the PDAM has not been installed at the house of the community from the beginning of the community until now. This is an inconvenience to the community because the groundwater used is still below the standard of clean water, which still smells of iron and is yellow. There are several ways to set aside iron and eliminate odor, namely by applying a rigorous technology to produce water that is in accordance with clean water, at affordable prices and environmentally friendly. The technology we use is a water purification device which is filled with zeolite sand and activated carbon with a filtration process. The material used is a 13 in. High pipe 140 cm, activated carbon 25 kg, 50 kg and pipe, in, then assembled into a water purifier that is ready to be tested for ground water. After filtered ground water produced has a color condition of 2 PtCo of 50 PtCo Required, turbidity <1NTU of 25NTU required, dissolved solids 20mg / l of 1500 mg / l required and iron <0.1mg / l of 1 mg / l required.
