Abstract

According to World Health Organization (WHO) 2015, water quality can be compromised by the presence of infectious agents, toxic chemicals and radiological hazards. Water filter provide good quality of water but they also present risk to health if contamination occurred in the water filter. Study location was selected at Fasa 2 Puncak Alam. Colilert test was used for biological parameter while for physical parameter direct reading was taken during sampling process. A statistical analysis that is statistical package for the social science (SPSS) version 17 was used in this study. The result for biological parameter found out that total coliform exceed the standards for house A, B, C, D, E, F, J and also for tap water with readings of lMPN/lOOml, 0.25MPN/100ml, 0.25MPN/100ml, 0.75MPN/100ml, 0.5MPN/1 OOml, 0.75MPN/100ml and l.28MPN/1 OOml. No detectable of E.coli in lOOml of water sample and it is comply with standard. For physical all parameter comply with National Drinking Water Quality Standard and turbidity showed ONTU for all water sample. Comparison between sampling point found out that pH showed significant different between groups. There is fair correlation between pH and total coliform and poor correlation between temperature and total coliform.
