Effectiveness of Coconut Charcoal Shell Activated Carbon Filtration to Lower Fe in Cisterns Water: A Case Study in Arsopura, Keerom Regency, Papua

Clean water consumed daily should not contain excessive Fe (iron) because it can cause health problems. The Fe can be reduced by filtering using activated carbon such as those found in coconut shells. For this reason, this study will analyze the effectiveness of iron filtration in excavated well water in Arso Pura, Keerom Regency, Papua Indonesia. The method used is an experiment with Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). Purposive sampling was carried out on community dug well water in Arso Pura, Keerom Regency, Papua by measuring Fe levels before and after using coconut shell activated carbon and the use of miner areas of 2 Inches, 3 Inches and 4 Inches. The results of the Anova test, namely a p-value of 0.00
