Clean water is very important for
life. Provision of clean water is still a problem
in Indonesia. 80% of Indonesia's population
still consumes water that is not in accordance
with health standards. Whether ergonomic
water filters knock down for clean water
supply is the consumer's interest in water
users. This ergonomic knock down water filter
all parts are easily removed, carried easily,
then reassembled where the location requires
water as long as there are waterways to get
clean water. The design of this study is
comparative and experimental descriptive.
Large sample of 30 people who use water
filters. Place of Research in the Industrial
Engineering Ergonomics Laboratory, PGRI
AdiBuana University Surabaya, Indonesia.
Data is taken by observation, questionnaire,
and experimental results. Data were analyzed
using descriptive percentages. The results
showed that 73.3% water filter material chose
stainless steel. Ergonomic knock down water
filters have the ability to reduce levels of total
dissolved solids (TDS) from 380 ppm to 156
ppm, down 224 ppm (41%). Conclusions: 1)
water filter users have the highest interest in
choosing filters made of stainless steel, are
easily installed and used ergonomically, and
anti-oxidation does not cause corrosion; 2) the
water yield from ergonomic knock down water
fliter is 41% clearer than before filtering.
Suggestion: To implement the Quality
Function Deployment of a knock down water
filter, ergonomics are expected to be guided by
analytical analysis according to the
conclusions above.
