Conventional filtering system for treating groundwater has been well-known and applied in the realistic condition. However, there is no information about the phenomena happening during water treatment. The purpose of this study was to investigate step by step process in the conventional filtering system for treating groundwater. The conventional filtering system used in this study was a combination of several commercially available materials, such as activated silica, natural sand, activated carbon obtained from carbonized coconut fibres, manganese, and natural zeolite. Groundwater in the rural area that is located near the agricultural area was used as a model. Since the raw water contains fertilizer components, this will be good as the model for describing most water condition in agricultural countries. Experimental results showed that the conventional water treatment system successfully purified the groundwater, and the physiochemical properties of the treated water are fit with the minimum standard requirement for clean water based on Indonesian regulation. Analysis and discussion in the step-by-step process during the treating groundwater were also presented in the paper. Finally, the present study would create a better understanding of the use of the water treatment system using the conventional filter in the realistic condition, especially for the agricultural area. © School of Engineering, Taylor's University.
