This research was conducted to design a water purification technique for wellbore peat soil which has a high yellow rust (high iron content level). This research method is carried out by designing a layered or multilevel filter technique that is designed in such a way as to get the right composition in the filter layer arrangement. The borehole water sample studied had an iron content level of 5.0863 mg/L which did not find the requirements for clean water (at least 0.5 mg/L) and drinking water (at least 0.3 mg/L). The zeolite filter media was able to reduce the iron content level of the sample to 3.0362 mg/L. Activated charcoal filter media was able to reduce the iron content level of the sample to 1.4662 mg/L. The zeolite-activated charcoal filter media was effective in reducing the iron content level of the sample to 0.0326 mg/L. The last research has been carried out with the composition and arrangement of the filter layers in the container in order from top to bottom is zeolite, charcoal, beach shell sand. The filter is most effective in reducing the iron content level of the sample to 0.0106 mg/L. The results of the borehole water filtration using zeolite-activated charcoal filter media and zeolite-activated charcoal-coastal sand filter is categorized as clean water and drinking water. However, the filtered water must still be cooked for drinking water so that germs and bacteria die in boiling water. © 2023 Author(s).
