Reactor rapid sand filters without backwashing and rapid sand filter by backwashing made of PVC pipe diameter 6 " and high 50 cm. The results showed rapid sand filters without backwashing produce the best effectiveness to raise the pH value of 7,96 % and lowers the organic content of 29,31 %. While the rapid sand filter by backwashing produce the best effectiveness in raising the pH value of 5,81 % and lowers the organic content of 30,43 %.
